Viewing Closed Captions

Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows.
These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign-language translations.
All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-recorded video
tapes also provide closed captions. Most pre-recorded commercial video tapes provide closed
captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television schedule and on the
tape' s packaging:

Misspellings and unusual
characters sometimes occur during
closed caption transmissions, espe-
cially those of live events. There may
be a small delay before captions
appear when you change channels.
These are not malfunctions of the TV.
In "Caption" mode, captions
appear at the bottom of the screen,
and they usually cover only a small
portion of the picture.
In "Text" mode, information unrelat-
ed to the program, such as news or
weather, is displayed. Text often cov-
ers a large portion of the screen.
Different channels and fields
display different information: Field 2
carries additional information that
supplements the information in Field
1. (For example, Channel 1 may have
subtitles in English, while Channel 2
has subtitles in Spanish.)
