Please Note:
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available on digital TV programs (also at
the election of the service provider). It is a more flexible system than the original Closed Caption
system, because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font styles.
Not all programs and VHS video tapes offer closed caption. Please look for the CC symbol to
ensure that captions will be shown.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is
identified by its own number. The CC1 and
CC2 services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program's picture.
In the Closed Caption system, the TEXT1 or TEXT2 services display text that is unrelated to the
program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also superimposed over the
program currently being viewed.
Closed Captioning for this TV only works under sources TV, and VIDEO.
Rating Explained
General Operation
To block channels you don't want your children to watch, you can filter them with the ratings function. MPAA
lets you control ratings for movies. For regular TV programs you can use USTV settings. USTV settings lets
you filter what content you want at each age level, TV-Y, to TV-MA (refer to definitions below). Below are
definitions for each setting.
USTV Rating
TV-Y (USTV) – For All Children
This program is designed to be appropriate for all children. Whether animated or live-action, the themes and
elements in this program are specifically designed for
a very young audience, including children from ages 2-6. This program is not expected to frighten younger
children.
TV-Y7 (USTV) – Directed to Older Children
This program is designed for children age 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for children who have
acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Themes and
elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence or comedic violence, or may frighten children
under the age of 7. Therefore, parents may want to consider the suitability of this program for their very
young children. Note: For those programs where fantasy violence may be more intense or more combative
than other programs in this category, such programs will be designated TV-Y7-FV.
