Closed Captions and Digital Closed Captions
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  exible 
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 identi ed by its 
own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services display 
subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the 
programs 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.
Direct Button Operation
1 Press  CC.
  This will present the Closed Caption information 
display.
2 Press  CC while the Closed Caption information is 
still on the screen.
  Press repeatedly until you select the desired closed 
caption service.

  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  rst 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:
1/3 ENG 2/3 CC1 3/3 Text1 Off
The  CC button keeps a record of the last service 
selected in its memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3 ENG) 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 buttons 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”.
When “Power Saving” is set to “Standard” or “Advanced”\
, 
the Power Saving leaf icon appears on the channel 
information window. See page 27 for details of Power 
Saving settings.
See page 29 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.
 When the Sidebar Widget, TV+Web or Web is displayed, 
Closed Captions are not available.
 You can have the same settings by choosing Change CC  on the menu items. (See page 28.)
