A television receiver 1 enables a decoder 5 to extract a closed
caption
signal of DTVCC method from a digital broadcasting signal received via an antenna
11. The closed caption signal of DTVCC method extracted here is analyzed
and converted into the closed caption signal of Line 21 method. And in a DVE 6,
the closed caption data of Line 21 method is inserted into the 21st scanning line
of an analog picture signal converted by the decoder 5 for output.
