Captions
Captions on Analog Channels
The	TV	can	decode	captions	from	the	ANT INPUT and	
the	composite	VIDEO	jacks.		Broadcasters	can	send	
either	standard	closed	captions	or	text	service.		Standard	
closed	captions	follow	the	dialogue	of	the	program	and	
display	in	a	small	section	of	the	screen.		Text-service	closed	
captions	often	contain	information	such	as	weather	or	
news	and	cover	a	large	portion	of	the	screen.
I M P O R TA N T
•	Analog text-service options display a large 
black or gray box on the screen when no 
signal is being broadcast.
•	 The	content	of	captions	is	determined	by	the	
broadcaster.  If captions show strange char-
acters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is not 
a malfunction of the TV.
•	Closed-caption signals are not available through 
HDMI or component jacks.  See the menus for 
devices connected to these inputs for closed-
caption decoding.Captions on Digital Channels
The	TV	can	decode	captions	from	the	ANT	input	only.		
Broadcasters	can	send	up	to	six	different	captioning	
selections	or	can	send	analog	captions	for	a	program	that	
originated	in	analog	format.		A	TV	station	may	broadcast	
only	one	or	two	types	of	captions	or	none	at	all.
