For analog channels broadcasters can send either 
Standard or Text closed captioning.  Standard Closed 
Captions follows the dialogue of the characters on-
screen and displays in a small section of the screen.  

Text Closed Captions often contain information such as 

weather or news and covers a large portion of the screen.  
On digital channels, broadcasters can send up to 6 
different captioning selections.   Each TV station may 
broadcast only one or two types of captions or none at 
all.  The media center cannot decode Closed Captions 

received on Component 1 or 2.

captions for Analog sources:

captioning signals).

•  Text1, Text2, Text3, or Text4. (Text closed

(CC1)will turn on/off by pressing MUTE on the
