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 rst 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:
1/3 ENG 2/3 CC1 3/3 Text1 Off
The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory. If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3 ENG) 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.
When Power Saving is set to Standard or Advanced, the Power Saving leaf icon appears on the channel information window. See page 29 for details of Power Saving settings. See page 32 for detailed closed caption settings. 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. When the Sidebar Widget, TV+Web or Web is displayed, Closed Captions are not available. You can have the same settings by choosing "Change CC" on the menu items. (See page 31.)

The 3D Glasses are precision equipment. Handle them with care. Improper use of the 3D Glasses or failure to follow these instructions can result in eye strain. If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images, immediately discontinue use of the 3D Glasses. Using the binocular disparity 3D system of this TV with incompatible 3D broadcasts or software can make images appear with a cross talk blur or create overlapping images. When viewing 3D images continuously, be sure to take a break periodically to prevent eye strain. If you are nearsighted or farsighted or have astigmatism or a different level of eyesight between the left and right eyes, you should take the necessary steps, such as wearing eyeglasses, to correct your eyesight before viewing 3D images. The 3D Glasses can be worn over eyeglasses. When viewing 3D images, keep the 3D Glasses horizontally level with the TV screen. If you tilt the 3D Glasses with respect to the TV screen, the images viewed by the left and right eyes may appear signicantly different or images may appear overlapping. View 3D images at the appropriate distance from the TV screen. The recommended distance is three times the effective height of the TV screen. Examples of recommended distances 52-inch screen: Approx. 6.2 ft (1.9 m) 60-inch screen: Approx. 7.2 ft (2.2 m) Viewing should not be done closer than the recommended distance. Be careful of your surroundings when viewing 3D images. When you view 3D images, objects may appear at a distance closer or farther than the actual TV screen. This may cause you to misjudge the distance to the TV screen and possibly result in injury if you accidentally hit the screen or surrounding objects. The 3D Glasses are only recommended for people ages 5 and older. When children are viewing 3D images, be sure a parent or guardian is present. Monitor children viewing 3D images, and if they show signs of discomfort, immediately discontinue use of the 3D Glasses. People with a known history of photosensitivity and people with heart problems or poor health should not use the 3D Glasses. This can worsen existing health conditions. Do not use the 3D Glasses for other purposes (such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, or protective goggles). Do not use the 3D function or 3D Glasses while walking or moving around. This may result in injuries due to running into objects, tripping, and/or falling. When using the 3D Glasses, take care not to accidentally strike the TV screen or other people. Viewing 3D images may cause you to misjudge the distance to the TV screen and accidentally strike the screen, resulting in possible injury.
