When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French) or other language codes. • Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captions. Please look for the "~" symbol to ensure that captions will be shown. • In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identified by its own number. The "CC1" and "CC2" services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program's picture. • In the Closed Caption system, the "Text1" or "Text2" services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed. - FAVORITE CH - @-®---@---@ FAVORITE I o SLEEP AUDIO AV MODE CC 000. i.L1NKo Press ce. • This will present the Closed Caption information display. Press ee while the Closed Caption information is still on the screen. • Press repeatedly until you select the desired closed caption service. Closed Caption information • Depending on the number of caption services in the signal being received, you will see information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed. 1/2 means "the first of two services". Example: If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1 and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this sequence: ..~..~..~. • The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory. If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG) you selected is not available for the next program, or on another channel, the closed caption service that is available is automatically selected, and this service appears in parentheses, e.g.1/3(CC1). Closed caption services that appear in parentheses will not be stored in the CC button's memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are stored. Examples: In a case where there are two closed caption services provided, (for instance, Digital CC(ENG) and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast for the next program, the other closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in parentheses. A closed caption service appears in parentheses because the service you selected is not available and a different service is displayed on your screen. "1/1(CC1)" is displayed instead of "1/2 ENG". • See page 53 for detailed closed caption settings. • When using Freeze functions, closed captions will not be displayed on the right-most screen (still image). • When the program contains no closed caption, "--" displays in the closed caption information. • If the language code, e.g. "ENG", is not found on Digital TV programs, "--" will be shown. • Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1, Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may contain none or only some of these services at the discretion of the program provider.

Canadian Rating Systems • The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programming. • While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes. • When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the Canadian French ratings. Canadian English ratings Age E C C8+ G PG 14+ 18+ Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk shows, music videos, and variety programming. Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being. Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on the screen. General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional. Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues. Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of the storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme. Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence, which while related to the development of plot, character or themes, are intended for adult viewing. Could contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and nudity. Canadian French ratings @-58 E G Age 8ans+ 13ans+ 16ans + 18ans+ Exempt programming. General: All ages and children, contains minimal direct violence, but may be integrated into the plot in a humorous or unrealistic manner. General but inadvisable for young children: May be viewed by a wide public audience, but could contain scenes disturbing to children under 8 who cannot distinguish between imaginary and real situations. Recommended for viewing with parent. Over 13 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and therefore recommended for viewing with parent. Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and intense violence. Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent violent scenes and extreme violence.
