Changing caption settings
You can change many different settings that affect the appearance of captions.
To change caption settings, from the Home screen menu, navigate to Settings > Captions, and then
press RIGHT. At this point, you can choose the following options:
• Captions mode – Choose Off, On, When mute, or Instant replay.
o If you choose On, the TV displays captions whenever they are available in the program
information. This setting applies to Antenna TV, the AV input, and streaming channels.
o If you choose When mute, the TV displays captions only when the sound is muted. This
setting applies to Antenna TV, the AV input, and streaming channels.
o If you choose Instant Replay, the TV displays captions only during a replay operation;
that is, after pressing to jump back a few seconds in streaming video. This setting
applies only to streaming channels when the program being streamed supports instant
replay.
This setting reflects the Closed captioning settings in the Options menu for certain TV inputs, as
explained in “Options menu settings” on page 33
. Note that, once enabled, the captions mode
remains set for all applicable inputs until you turn it off.
Tip: Some streaming channels require you to enable captions through a setting within their
channel even though you have turned on captions everywhere else.
