CLOSED CAPTIONS

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 ffull
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.
• 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.

SETTING THE V-CHIP

The V-Chip function is available only for the U. S. V-Chip system. The Canadian V-Chip system is not supported.
This TV is fitted with a V-CHIP controller that provides you with channel viewing access controls and restrictions. This function is to
prevent your children from watching violent or sexual scenes that you may choose to exclude.

show. When the program starts, the "INPUT PASSWORD" will appear on the screen. When you want to release the V-Chip
temporarily, enter the password.
If you change the channel or turn off the TV while the V-Chip function was temporarily released, the original setting will be
resumed. If you return to the channel you were watching you must re-enter your password to temporarily release your V-Chip
function again.
• When you watch the TV using a cable box or a VCR and the TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4, you must release the V-Chip
temporarily. The V-Chip setting will not be resumed until you turn off the TV. The TV channel is not used in this case.
• When changing the channel with the cable box or the VCR, approximately 10 seconds will pass until the program appears.
• If you forget or lose your password, you can reset it using the following procedure:
- While holding down the VOLUME D button on the TV, press "0" on the remote control for a few seconds.

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).
