Captions
The default position for TV captions is to be closed.

To open the closed captions, a click of the CC button on the remote control is all it takes for most modern television sets.

For older sets and for some models, a slightly different procedure using an on-screen Menu is necessary.

Where the use of a Menu is required, there is usually a button on the remote control that reads “Menu.” When a Menu button is pressed various choices or menus appear, such as a choices of language, setting the TV’s internal clock, auto-programming the TV, choosing channels and so on, including several options for captions, such as having them run with the sound on or eliminating the sound, but keeping the captions.

We recommend that you leave the TV captions open, along with the sound, all the time for your learners.
