Using the closed caption decoder
_Important:
Many broadcasters now supply closed captimfing information along
with their regular broadcasts. YotLr TV can decode that information
and display it on your TV screen.
There are two types of captioning that broadcasters can send:
"standard" and "text." Standard captioning usually follows the
dialogue of the characters on-screen. Text captioning often contains
information such as weather or news and blocks out your wiew of the
program you are watching.
Your TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals and
four different "text captioning" signals on each TV channel.
However, each station may be broadcasting only one or two captioning
signals, or none at all.
