Notes
• 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.
• When selecting closed captions, the captioning might be
delayed momentarily.
• If the channels are changed, the captions might be delayed
momentarily.
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the
closed caption decoder text may not appear. In this case,
adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor
antenna.
• When activating the closed captioned decoder, there will be
a short delay before the closed captioned text appears on
the screen.
• 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.
• 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, entered live. These transmissions do not allow
time for editing.
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may
interfere with the closed captioned signal.
• 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.
• For television programs broadcasting with closed captions,
look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).
