How do I use closed captioning when watching live TV?

Closed captions are used to convey the TV's spoken audio in a written format. This can be useful for the hearing-impaired, those learning another language, or for users who want to watch TV in a noisy environment.

To specify closed caption settings, use the following steps.

  1. Press the Windows Media Center Start button on the Media Center remote control.

  2. Select Settings.

  3. Select TV.

  4. Select Audio.

  5. To enable closed captions, in the Captioning box, select CC1 or CC2. In the Caption display box, select on when muted or on.

  6. To disable closed captions, in the Caption display box, select off.
