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 “

” symbol to ensure

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.
