Using The Closed Caption Decoder - Mitsubishi CS-35201A Owner's Manual

Using the closed caption decoder
Important:
Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning irtfo rrnation along with their
regular broadcasts. Your TV can decc_te that information and display :iton your
TV screen.
There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send: "standard" and
"textY
Standard captioning is related to the: program that is being shown. Standard
captioning usually follows the dialogue of the charazters on-screen.
Text captioning does not usually relate to the program being showrL. It often
contains information such as weather or news. Text ca,2tioning often blocl_ out
your view of the program you are watching.
Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals and four
different "text captioning" signals on each TV cha_mel. However, each sation
may be broadcasting oniy one or two captioning signals, or none at zdl.
To use the closed caption decoder:
O Press the VIDEO button on the
remote control until the closed
captioning (_) display appears
on the screen.
I_ Press the ADJUST button on the
remote control to select the cap-
tioning signal you wish to display
You can choose to display one of four
"'standard captioning" signals (indi-
cated by a number), to display one of
four "text captioning" signals (indi-
cated by the word "Text" and a num-
ber), to display captions when muting,
or to turn the captions off.
If you select "when muting_' the standard captioning signal 1 will appear
whenever you use the MUTING button.
Uses for closed captioning
Closed captioning was initially designed so that those with aural difficulties can
enjoy viewing television more. However, closed captioning can also be used in
other ways, such as:
• helping children learn to read,
• learning a foreign language, and
• using the television without disturbing others.
If you cannot display any captions on the screen, I:,lease keep in mirLd that not
all broadcasters, video tapes, or laser discs supply c),osed caption signals.
Additionally, captions will not appear if you are playing a tape or laser disc
on a VCR or Laser Disc Player that cannot decode, dosed caption signals;
if you are playing a video tape that is worn or deteriorated; or if you are switching
from STILL mode or SEARCH mode to PLAY mode on a Laser Disc player
that cannot decode closed caption signals when playing in such a way.
