on certain channels.
POSSIBLE REMEDY
• You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the
closed captioning production comDmy may pass through uncorrected.
A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because
of the normal time available for editing the captions.
• Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual
are common for live broadcast. Most captioning production
companies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words
per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used
to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current
TV screen dialogue.
• Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc.
may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
• Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to speed
up the actual program so that additional advertising time can be
given. Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information,
captions will be lost.
• The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating
company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the
copying process.
• You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode to CAPTION
