Using the closed caption decoder
DImportant:
Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along
with their regular broadcasts.
There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send:
"standard" and "text." Standard captioning is related to the
program that is being shown and usually follows the dialogue of the
characters on-.screen. Text captioning does _._otrelate to the pro-
gram being shown, often containing information such as weather or
news, and it can block your view of the program you are watching.
Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals
and four different "text captioning" signals on each TV channel.

• learning a foreign language, and
• using the television without disturbing others.
If you cannot display any captions on the screen, please keep Jn

closed caption signals.
