CLOSED CAPTION
PROBLEM
My TV/VCR is showing captions
that are misspelled.
My TV/VCR will not show the
text in its entirety or there is a
delay of what is being said.
My captions are scrambled with
white boxes on the TV screen.
My program guide listed a TV
show as being closed captioned
but none of the captions were
displayed.
My prerecorded video tape does!
not show any captions. The tape I
box mentions
it being closed!
captioned.
My TV screen shows a black box
on certain channels.
POSSIBLE REMEDY
You are watching a live broadcast and _elling err6rs made by theclosed
captioning
production
company
may pass through
uncorrected.
A
prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because of the
normal time available for editing the captions.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are
common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can
display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue
exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions remain
up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
Interference
caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may
cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to speed up the
actual program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the
decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost.
The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating company
accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying process.
You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION [OFF].
MAINTENANCE

surfaces
of
the TV/VCR with a soft cloth immersed
in lukewarm
water and wrung dry.
• Never use a solvent or alcohol.
Do not spray insecti-
cide liquid near the TV/VCR.
Such chemicals
may
cause damage
and discoloration
to the exposed

HEAD CLEANING
• Picture playback may become blurred or interrupted
while the TV program reception is clear. This does
not mean that the recorded program has been erased.
Dirt accumulated on the video heads after long peri-
ods of tape playback, or the usage of rental or worn
tapes can cause this problem. In this case, video head
cleaning requires highly technical attention, there-
fore consult the nearest Authorized Service Center.
Clean heads only when problems occur.
SERVICING

• Should your TV/VCR become inoperative, do not try
to correct the problem by yourself. There are no riser-
serviceable parts inside. Turn off, unplug the power
cord, and take the unit to the nearest Authorized Serv-
ice Center for servicing.
