Viewing Closed Caption Information
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions information that is broadcast along with some
television shows. These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or translations into
other languages. All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so pre-
recorded video tapes can also deliver closed-caption information. Check for the closed caption
symbol ( ) on the tape’s package or your TV program-schedule.

NOTES
• The Caption function doesn’t operate when the PIP is active.
• Misspellings and unusual characters sometimes occur during closed caption transmissions,
especially those of live events. There may be a small delay before captions appear when you
change channels. These are not malfunctions of the TV.
