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 40.)

•  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 back the cassette tape 
containing captions.

•  The cassette tape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal might not have 

been read during copying.

Black box is displayed in the 
TV screen.

•  The text mode is selected for caption. Select “CAPTION1”, “CAPTION2” or “OFF”.
