Viewing Closed Captions
Your TV decodes and displays the closed captions that are broadcast with certain TV shows.
These captions are usually subtitles for the hearing impaired or foreign-language translations.
All VCRs record the closed caption signal from television programs, so home-recorded
video tapes also provide closed captions. Most pre-recorded commercial video tapes provide
closed captions as well. Check for the closed caption symbol in your television schedule and
on the tape's packaging:
