CLOSED-CAPTIONING  
Captioning is text information transmitted along with the picture and sound so it can be displayed on the TV screen. Because  
different types of captions can be transmitted with the TV signal, separate captioning modes are provided. The captioning  
modes recognized by this model are: Caption1, Caption2, Text1, and Text2. Local broadcasters decide which caption signals  
to transmit.  
CAPTION1: Main mode used for  
program captioning (words match the  
program you are watching). These cap-  
tions are generally one or two lines.  
TEXT2: An alternative mode used to display large amounts  
of text (same as Text1).  
QUIKCAP: Allows captions to toggle on and off with  
the Mute function. Press the MUTE key on the remote  
control to block the TV sound; the captions display auto-  
matically. Press the MUTE key again to restore the  
sound, the captions will disappear. Quikcap displays  
program captions in the Caption1 mode.  
TWO OUTS AND TWO STRIKES  
CAPTION2: An alternative mode for  
program captioning. Caption2 may be  
used by the broadcaster to provide cap-  
tions in another language, such as,  
Spanish or French.

SETTING CAPTIONS  
TEXT1: This mode is used to display large  
amounts of text. This text will appear within  
a black box that may be nearly as large as

ABOUT MPAA AND TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES  
ming contains any or all of these conditions, these letters  
become part of the icon that is displayed on the TV screen.  
MPAA and TV Parental Guidelines are rating systems that  
provide advance cautionary information to parents about  
the content of movie and television programming.  
A rating icon will generally appear in the upper left hand  
corner of the TV screen for about fifteen seconds at  
the beginning of a program and should be repeated  
at the beginning of the second hour of a long  
program. It may also appear when returning from  
commercials. There may be other instances when these icons  
will be displayed as well. Parents are encouraged to become  
familiar with these icons and their meanings.  
The V-Guide system contain both age-based and content-  
based settings. This gives parents discretionary ways of  
choosing appropriate material for their children to view.  
Content ratings are represented by the initials D (Sugges-

rating code signal, and 4) The TV must be properly setup to decode the signal.
