For products that are covered under 4-A.1, the user controls needed to
access closed captioning and video description must be in at least one
location that is comparable in prominence to the controls needed to control
volume or program selection. At a minimum, this requires placement of such
controls on either the product's physical apparatus or its remote control,
where the ability to control volume or program selection is otherwise
provided on that apparatus or remote control.
For example:
For captioning:
a.. A caption on/off button on a TV remote comparable in prominence to the
volume control on that remote;
b.. Caption controls on the first menu that appear when on-screen menus
are displayed
For video description:
A tactile button to turn on video description.
