The entered channel number
changes automatically • Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit changes the numbers
automatically to the ones signifying the broadcasting stations. These are the numbers used
for analog broadcasts.
Remote control does not work • Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.
• Check the batteries of the remote control.
• Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote
control.
• Test the signal output. If OK, then possible remote sensor trouble.
(Refer to “IR Signal Check” on page 45.)
• Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the unit.
• Reduce the distance to the unit.
• Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/– signs) as indicated.
Problems with Closed Caption Feature
Misspelled captions are dis-
played. • Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without cor-
recting the misspelling in a live broadcast.
Captions are not entirely dis-
played, or captions are delayed
behind the dialogue. • 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 maxi-
mum 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.
Captions are displayed as a
white box.
No caption is displayed in the
Closed Caption-supported
program. • Interference from buildings or weather conditions may cause captioning to be
incomplete.
• Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert advertisement. The closed
caption decoder cannot read the information of the shortened program.
No caption is displayed when
playing the videotape contain-
ing captions. • The videotape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal might not have been
read during copying.
Black box is displayed in the
screen. • The text mode is selected for caption. Select “CAPTION1”, “CAPTION2”, “CAPTION3”,
“CAPTION4” or “OFF”.
