Question:

How do I turn on/off closed captioning and what sources support this feature?

 

Answer:

The caption function will turn on and off the closed captioning display. Closed captioning will typically display a transcription of the audio portion of a program as it occurs (either verbatim or in edited form), sometimes including non-speech elements.

Important:

  • This function is only available whe you are on the TV (Coax) or AV source. HDMI, Component, and PC inputs do not carry the closed caption signal, if you are using the HDMI, Component, or PC source you will need to activate closed captioning in your external device.
  • Not all channels carry a closed caption feed. If the feature is turned on and there are no closed captions the program may not be carrying a closed caption broadcast.

To activate closed captioning:

  1. Select 'Caption' from the 'Support' section of the Main Menu, and then press ENTER.
  2. Note: If 'Caption' is grayed out (cannot be selected) you are on a source that does not carry the closed captioning signal (HDMI, Component, or PC). Please turn on closed captioning in your external device.

  1. Use the ▲ or ▼ to select ON or OFF, and then press ENTER.
  2. Press EXIT to leave the Main Menu.
