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 flexible 

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 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.

•  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 first 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:

•  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”.

Press 

CC.

•  This will present the Closed Caption information 

display.

Press 

CC while the Closed Caption 

information is still on the screen.
•  Press repeatedly until you select the desired 

closed caption service.

Closed Caption 

information

•  See page 37 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.
