It is a more flexible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font styles. 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 "002" services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program's picture.
