Using the closed caption decoder

Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along with their regular broadcasts.

Your TV can decode that information and display it on your TV screen.

There are two types of captioning that: broadcasters can send:

"standard" and "text." Standard captioning is related to the program that is being shown.

Standard captioning usually follows the dialogue of the characters on-screen.

Text captioning does not usually relate to the program being shown.

It often contains information such as weather or news. Text captioning often blocks out the program you are watching.

Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals and four different "text captioning" signals on each TV channel.

However, each station may" be broadcasting only one or two captioning signals, or none at all.

Getting Started 57

Using the closed caption decoder (cont.)

_>Important: uses for closed captioning

Closed captioning was initially designed so that those with hearing difficulties can enjoy viewing television raore. However, closed captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:

• helping children learn to read,

• learning a foreign langxmge, and

• using the television without disturbing others.

If you cannot display any captions on the screen, please keep in mind that not all broadcasters, video tapes, or laserdiscs supply closed caption signals.

Additionally, captions will not appear 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 captioned signals when using these features.
