CLOSED CAPTION
WHAT
iS CLOSED
CAPTIONING?
This
television
has the
capability
to decode
and display
closed
captioned
television
programs.
When
available,
closed
captioning
will
display
text
on the screen
for hearing
impaired
viewers
or it will
translate
and display
text in another
language.
TO VIEW
CLOSED
CAPTIONS
Press CAP/TEXT
on the remote
control to switch
between
normal TV
and the two closed caption modes (captions
and 1/2 of full screen Text).
Captions:
This closed caption
mode will display
text on the screen in
English
or another
language
(depending
on the setting
of Closed
Captions
1/2). Generally,
closed
captions
in English
are transmitted
on captions
channel
1 and closed
captions
in other
languages
are
transmitted
on captions
channel 2.
The captions
will appear in places on the screen where they will least
interfere
with the picture,
usually
on the bottom of the screen.
News
programs
will usually
show
three-line
closed
captions
which
scroll
onto the screen.
Most other shows provide
two or three lined captions
placed
near the character
who is speaking
so the viewer
can follow
the dialogue.
Words
in italics or underlined
describe
titles, words
in
foreign
languages
or words requiring
emphasis.
Words that are sung
usually appear
enclosed
by musical
notes.
Text: When
available,
the Text mode will fill part of the screen with a
programming
schedule
or other information.
After selecting
a closed
caption
mode,
it will stay
in effect
until it is changed,
even
if the
channel
is changed.
If the captions
signal
is lost due to a commercial
or a break in the signal, the captions
will reappear
when the signal
is
received
again.
If the channels
are changed,
the captions
will be
delayed
approximately
10 seconds.
For television
programs
broadcasting
with closed
captions,
look in
your TV guide for the closed captions
symbol (CC).
• When activating
the closed captioned
decoder,
there will be a short delay before the closed captioned
text appears
on the screen.
• Closed
captioned
text is only displayed
in locations
where it is available.
• 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 not be seen or may interfere
with closed captions.
• Some cable 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.
