What is closed captioning and how do I turn it on?
Closed Captioning (CC) is a visual display of the audio portion of a television program, which is in the form of words across the screen. This allows viewers to read the TV program’s dialogue and other information. Most newer TV sets have receivers built inside them, which can decode and display captioning. So you have the option of turning it on or off. Consult your television operating instructions booklet for details on how to program your set. It usually appears in the “set-up features” section of the booklet. If you have an older set and want closed captioning, a separate decoder box can be purchased. Consult a local electronics store.
