How are closed captions accessed on a TV?
Since July 1, 1993, all television sets with 13″ screens or larger sold in America must have a built-in caption decoder. Currently, nearly every home in American has at least one television with a built-in decoder. Set-top decoders for older TVs are also readily available. In most cases, a simple push of a button on your remote will display captions on your television screen.
