Closed Captioning

The closed captioning feature displays the audio portion of a
program as text on the TV screen. This is useful to hearing
impaired or anyone who wants to watch a program without
sound.
There are four types of closed captions: Caption 1, Caption 2,
Text 1 and Text 2. Caption 1 displays the full translation of the
primary language in your area. Caption 2 may be used as a
second source for secondary languages. Text 1 and Text 2 display
on-screen boxes containing the text of general information not
necessarily related to the program being watched.
Closed captioning is not available on all channels. Check your
TV program listings for CC (closed caption) broadcasts.
