(+/- signs) as indicated.

within 23 feet (7 m) of the unit.

• Remove all obstacles to clear the path of the infrared signal.
• Check the infrared signal output.
• Select the correct mode to operate by pressing [SELECT].

• Check for source of reception disturbance.
• Press [SELECT] to select the correct mode.
• Perform channel scanning to memorize available TV channels.

].

• Try another channel. If OK, then possible station problem.

• Error committed by the closed captioning production company.
• Possible in a live broadcast. Not in case of a prerecorded pro-

gram.

• A few seconds of delay is common for live broadcast.

If a dialogue exceeds the display capacity (220 words per
minute), selective editing is used so that the captions remain
up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.

• Caused by interferences of building, power lines, thunder-

storms, etc.

• The broadcast may use a time compression process to speed

up the program. The decoder cannot read the compressed
information and captions will be lost.

• Possibility of a illegal copy or an erroneous copying process

accidentally performed by the fabricator.

• You are in TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or "OFF".
