Captions Menu
For analog channels, broadcasters can send either stan-
dard closed captions or text service.  Standard closed 
captions follow the dialogue of the characters on screen  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.
For digital channels, broadcasters can send up to six dif
-
ferent captioning selections or can send analog captions  that are the same as those sent by the analog station.  
Each TV station may broadcast only one or two types of 
captions or none at all.  The TV cannot decode closed 
captions received on component or HDMI inputs.
Figure 8. Captions menu
IMPORTANT
When analog text closed captioning is 
selected, a large black or gray box appears 
on your TV screen if no signal is broadcast.
Analog Captions
The TV can display one of the following captions for  analog sources:
•  CC1, CC2, CC3, or CC4:  standard closed-caption 
signals
•  Text1, Text2, Text3, or Text4:  Text-service signals
• On if mute:  Closed captions appear when audio is 
muted.  When selected, press 
MUTE on the TV remote 
control to turn on/off the standard closed-caption  signal CC1.
•  Off:  No closed captions.
Background
To make the analog closed captions easier to read, you 
can choose to display the background color as either black or gray behind the text.
Digital Captions
The following display options are available for digital  sources:
•  Captions 1– 6 :  Sent by broadcaster.
• On if Mute:  Closed captions are displayed when 
audio is muted.  When selected, press 
MUTE on the TV 
remote control to turn captioning on/off (Caption 1).
•  Off:  No closed captions.
Note:  For digital programs, if the broadcaster is 
sending only analog captions converted to digital 
format, then the analog caption settings apply.
Appearance
The closed-captions provider selects the default options  when sending digital closed captions.  Select Custom to 
override defaults and customize the appearance of closed 
captions.  These settings do not apply to analog closed 
captioning converted to digital.
Digital Settings
The Digital Settings menu allows you to customize the  appearance of the closed captions sent by the broad
-
caster.  Digital settings do not apply to analog closed 
captions converted to digital.
To open the Digital Settings menu, select Custom for the  Appearance option.  Move the highlight to the Digital  Settings icon and press

combination.
Use care when selecting custom colors.  Your 
choice may affect the readability of captions.

characters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is 
not a malfunction of the TV.
