Closed Captions and Digital Closed
Captions
Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed
Captions are available on some TV programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the program provider.
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the discretion of the service provider). It is a more fl exible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the
Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish),
FRA (French) or other language codes.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captions. Please look for the “ N” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identifi ed 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 Caption information
• Depending on the number of caption services in the signal being received, you will see information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed.
1/2 means “the fi rst of two services”.
Example:
If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG),
CC1 and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this sequence:
1/3 ENG 2/3 CC1 3/3 Text1 Off
• The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG) you selected is not available for the next program, or on another channel, the closed caption service that is available is automatically selected, and this service appears in parentheses, e.g. “1/3(CC1)”.
Closed Caption services that appear in parentheses will not be stored in the CC button's memory as your last selected service.
Only services that you have selected with the
CC button are stored.
Examples:
In a case where there are two closed caption services provided, (for instance, Digital CC(ENG) and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast for the next program, the other closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in parentheses.
A closed caption service appears in parentheses because the service you selected is not available and a different service is displayed on your screen.
“1/1(CC1)” is displayed instead of “1/2/ENG”.
NOTE
• See page 41 for detailed closed caption settings.
• When the program contains no closed caption, “--” displays in the closed caption information.
• If the language code, e.g. “ENG”, is not found on Digital TV programs, “--” will be shown.
• Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1,
Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may contain none or only some of these services at the discretion of the program provider.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)
V-CHIP is an electronic fi ltering device built into your TV. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your TV.
“V-Chip” and “Status” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not fi rst confi gure your secret number.
(See page 42 for Secret number setting for parental control.)
• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.
• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television shows from their children.
• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.

Canadian Rating Systems
• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programming.
• While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the
Canadian French ratings.
