Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 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.
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 Cap-
tions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions
symbol (CC). 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.
CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR
Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played
back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact.
The Closed Captioned text will disappear during Cue
(Fast Forward Search), Review (Rewind Search) and
Pause Modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted
properly.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Press the C.C. button on the remote control to
switch between normal TV and the two Closed Caption
Modes (Captions and Full Screen Text).
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text
on the screen in English or another language (depend-
ing on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. Channel 1
or Channel 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 selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
• 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 the on-screen indicator appears during volume adjustment operation, etc., Closed Caption text will not
be displayed.
• 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.
