CLOSED CAPTION

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. 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).

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 TV/CAP/TEXT 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 (depending on the setting
of the Closed Captions CH.1/2 button). Generally, Closed
Captions in English are transmitted on Captions Channel 1 and
Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on Captions
Channel 2.

• 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 mute 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.
