Philips 27DVCR55S - Manual (Page 41)

Closed Captions 4 1
Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV pro-
gramming. Not all TV programs and commercials have closed
captions or all types of closed captions (second language,
half-screen text, etc.). If closed captioning is not broadcast,
you cannot receive it. This does not indicate a problem with
the TV/VCR/DVD. Check your TV program listings for
shows with closed captions.
If the TV/VCR/DVD receives poor quality television signals,
the captions may contain errors, or there might be no cap-
tions 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)
● Playing poorly recorded or worn videotapes.

CAPTION

guage closed captions (foreign language words show-
ing what a character is saying).
TEXT
1 and TEXT2 display half-screen text (such as a
channel guide, schedule, or announcement).
OFF turns off closed captions. Captions will not
appear on the screen.
