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 (_) on the screen.

display appears

I_ Press the ADJUST button on the remote control to select the captioning signal you wish to display

You can choose to display one of four

"'standard captioning" signals (indicated by a number), to display one of four "text captioning" signals (indicated by the word "Text" and a number), 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.
