The entered channel number
changes automatically

• Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. TV changes the numbers automati-

cally to the ones signifying the broadcasting stations. These are the numbers used for analog
broadcasts.

Remote control does not work

• Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.
• Check the batteries of the remote control.
• Check if there is an obstacle between the sensor and the remote control.
• Test the signal output. If OK, then possible remote sensor trouble.

(Refer to “IR SIGNAL CHECK” on page 47.)

• Aim the remote control directly at the sensor on the front of the unit.
• Reduce the distance to the unit.
• Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/– signs) as indicated.

Problems with Closed Caption Feature

Misspelled captions are dis-
played.

• Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without cor-

recting the misspelling in a live broadcast.

Captions are not entirely dis-
played, or captions are delayed
behind the dialogue.

• 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 maxi-
mum 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.

Captions are displayed as a
white box.
No caption is displayed in the
Closed Caption-supported
program.

• Interference from buildings or weather conditions may cause captioning to be

incomplete.

• Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert advertisement. The closed

caption decoder cannot read the information of the shortened program.

No caption is displayed when
playing the videotape contain-
ing captions.

• The videotape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal might not have been

read during copying.

Black box is displayed in the
screen.

• “Text” mode is selected for caption. Select “CC1”, “CC2”, “CC3”, “CC4” or “Off”.
