• Closed captioning production companies may broadcast

programs without correcting the misspelling in a live
broadcast.

• Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual

dialogue are common for live broadcasts. 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.

weather conditions etc., incomplete captions may be dis-
played.

• Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert

the advertisement. The closed caption decoder cannot
read the information of the shortened program.

• The videotape may be illegally copied, or the caption sig-

nal may fail to be read while coping.

• [TEXT] mode is selected for caption. Select [C1], [C2] or

[OFF].
