I was assuming it was only addressing the top part.

This cuts off the bottom part of Karen's post.



Is this meant to replace the top part only (and the bottom part stays the same?)



Or is this suggesting that the bottom part of Karens post be dropped entirely? (i.e. the part that related to 4A-2)





The dropped text from Karen's email suggestion is





"For products that are covered under 4-A.2, the user controls needed to

access closed captioning and video description must be comparable in

prominence to the play controls or channel selector."

Folks: As discussed on yesterday's TEITAC AV call, I have added a suggested note to amend Karen's language below that I hope is understandable & acceptable.



Thanks, Paul

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.



Note: "Comparable in prominence" does not require exact equivalence in size, location, or shape.

Rationale: Manufacturers are encouraged to use buttons with unique shapes to enable persons with low vision to make a tactile distinction among them.
