Closed Caption
Closed Captioning allows you to read the dialog of
television programs on the TV screen. Designed to
help the hearing impaired, this feature uses on screen
"text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations
while the TV program is in progress. Captions will
appear on the screen only during captioned
broadcasts.
Remark: the captions do not always use correct
spelling and grammar.
Not all TV programs and product commercials are
made for broadcast with Closed Caption information
included. Refer to your area's TV program listings for
the TV channels and times of Closed Caption shows.
The captioned programs are usually noted in the TV
listings with service marks such as "CC".
