Remember, broadcast sta-
g tions will often use spelling
abbreviations, symbols,
dropouts and other grammatical
shortcuts in order to keep pace with
the on-screen action. These type
factors vary upon the source of the
captioned text material and do not
indicate a need for service on the
part of the TV.
NOTE: Not all TV programs and product commercials are made for broadcast
with Closed Caption (CC) information included. Neither are all Closed Caption
modes (CAPTION 1-4, or TEXT 1-4)) necessarily being used by a broadcast sta­
tion during the transmission of a closed caption program. Refer to your area’s TV
program listings for the stations and times of Closed Caption shows.
NOTE: The “CCl W/MUTE” setting automati-
cally switches the TV to the Closed Caption i
mode whenever the MUTE button (on the remote
control) is pressed. The Closed Caption 1 mode
will turn OFF when the TV sound is returned or
unmuted.
