Closed Captions
Closed captioning displays on-screen text of program audio to link persons who are deaf or hard of hearing with entertainment, information and news.
Many closed-captioning reception problems can be fixed with the proper settings on your television or receiver box. Access the menu on your TV or receiver box and verify that the closed-captioning is set for “CC1” or “Service 1” captions.
