Captions on Analog Channels
The TV can decode captions from ANT 1/ANT 2 and the 
VIDEO composite and S-VIDEO jacks.  Broadcasters can 
send either standard   
closed captions or text service.  Stan-
dard closed captions follow the dialogue of the program and 
display in a small section of the screen.  Text-service closed 
captions often conta
in information such as weather or 
news and cover a large portion of the screen.
IMPORTANT
Analog text-service options display a large 
black or gray box on the screen when no signal 
is being broadcast.
 The content of captions is determined by the 
broadcaster.  If captions show strange charac-
ters, misspellings, or odd grammar, it is not a 
malfunction of the TV.

Closed caption signals are not available through 
HDMI or component jacks.  See the menus for 
these devices for closed-caption decoding.
Captions on Digital Channels
The TV can decode captions from ANT 1/ANT 2 only.  
Broadcasters can send up to six different captioning 
selections or can send analog captions that match those 
sent by the analog station.  A TV station may broadcast 
only one or two types of captions or none at all
.
