WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. 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 CLOSED CAPTION 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 the Closed Captions CH.1/2 button). Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on

Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.

Text:

The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually ﬁ ll 1/2 of full 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.

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.

For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions

symbol (CC).

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.
