Closed captions

Your TV/DVD is equipped with an internal Closed
Caption decoder. It allows you to view conversations,
narration and sound effects as subtitles on your
TV/DVD. Closed Captions are available on some TV
programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the
discretion of the program provider.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captions. Please look for the "
that captions will be shown.
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more
than one caption service provided. Each is identifi ed
by its own number. The "C1" and "C2" services
display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over
the program's picture. Generally, Closed Captions in
English are transmitted on C1 and Closed Captions in
other languages are transmitted on C2.
In the Closed Caption system, the "Text1" or "Text2"
services display text that is unrelated to the program
being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These
services are also superimposed over the program
currently being viewed.
NOTE
• If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned, no captions will display on-screen.
• If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the Closed
"
Caption feature to "OFF .
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approx. 10 seconds.
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed
Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These
transmissions do not allow time for editing.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may interfere with
Closed Captions.
• Some Cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with
strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
