CC1 and Text1;
are the primary caption and text services.
The captioning or text is displayed in the same
language as the program’s dialogue
(up to 4 lines of script on the TV screen, where it
does not obstruct relevant parts of the picture).
CC3 and Text3;
serve as the preferred data channels.
The captioning or text is often a secondary language.
CC2, CC4, Text2 and Text4;
are rarely available and broadcasters use them only
in special conditions, such as when “CC1” and “CC3”
or “Text1” and “Text3” are not available.
There are 3 display modes according to programs:
Paint-on mode:
Displays input characters on the TV screen
immediately.
Pop-on mode:
Once characters are stored in memory, they are
displayed all at once.
Roll-up mode:
Displays the characters continuously by scrolling
(max. 4 lines).

Note:
• To show the closed caption on your TV screen, broadcast
signal must contain the closed caption data.
• Not all TV programs and commercials have the closed
caption or all types of the closed caption.
• Captions and texts may not match the TV voice exactly.
• Changing channels may delay the closed caption for a few
seconds.
• Adjusting or muting the volume may delay the closed
caption for a few seconds.
• Abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical shortcuts
may be used in order to keep pace with the on-screen
action. This is not a problem with the unit.
• The caption or text characters will not be displayed while
the main menu or functions display is shown.
• If a black box appears on the TV screen, this means that
the closed caption is set to TEXT mode. To clear the box,
select “CC1”, “CC2”, “CC3”, “CC4” or “Off”.
• If the unit receives poor quality television signals, the
captions may contain errors, or there might be no captions
at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are:
- Automobile ignition noise
- Electric motor noise
- Weak signal reception
- Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter)
• The unit retains the closed caption setting if the power
fails.
• Closed caption will not be displayed when you are using
an HDMI connection.
• When the unit receives a special effects playback signal
(i.e., Search, Slow and Still) from a VCR’s video output
channel (CH3 or CH4), the unit may not display the correct
caption or text.
