Using Closed Caption - HP LC3760N Mode D'emploi

Using Closed Caption

Your TV is equipped with an internal closed caption
decoder. It allows you to view conversations,
narration, and sound effects as subtitles on your TV.
Closed captions are available on some TV programs
and on some VHS home videotapes, at the election of
the program provider.
Digital Closed Caption service is a caption service
available only on digital TV programs (also at the
election of the service provider). It is a more flexible
system than the original closed caption system,
because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in
use, it is indicated by a three-letter abbreviation that
also indicates the language of the Digital Closed
Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French),
and so on.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captioning. Look for the symbol to ensure that captions
appear.
When you have the signal source
equipment connected using an HDMI or a
component video connection, closed
caption information may not always be
available because the source equipment
may not pass the information to the TV
across these connectors.
In the closed caption system, there can be more than
one caption service provided. Each is identified by its
own number. CC1 and CC2 services display subtitles
of TV programs superimposed over the program
picture.

In the closed caption system, the Text1 or Text2
services display text that is unrelated to the program
being viewed, such as weather or news. These
services are also superimposed over the program
currently being viewed.
Depending on the number of caption services
■
in the signal being received, you see
information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed.
1/2 means "the first of two services."
Example: If a program has three services
■
(Digital CC (ENG), CC1, and Text1), the
closed caption display toggles in sequence.
The CC button keeps a record of the last
■
service selected in its memory. If the last
closed caption mode you selected is not
available for the next program, or on another
channel, the closed caption service that is
available is automatically selected, and this
service appears in parentheses. Closed
caption services that appear in parentheses
are not retained in the CC button memory as
your last selected service. Only services that
you have selected with the CC button are
retained.
When the program contains no closed
caption, "--" displays in the closed caption
information.
If the language code, such as ENG, is not
found on digital TV programs, "--" is
shown.
All types of closed caption service (CC1,
Text1, and so on) are potentially available,
but a broadcast may contain none or only
some of these services, at the election of
the program provider.
The defaults for CC may be specified by the
broadcasting station.
