CLOSED CAPTION
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 the C.C. button 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. 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.
• 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 MUTING 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.
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: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 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.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed
Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions
symbol (CC).
