If the program or video you select is not closed-captioned, no captions
display on-screen.
If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear
on-screen. If this happens, set the closed caption feature to OFF.
When selecting closed captions, the captioning delays about ten seconds.
If no caption signal is received, no captions appear, but the television
remains 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 be seen but may interfere with closed captions.
Some cable television systems and copy protection systems may interfere
with the closed captioned signal.
If using an indoor antenna or if television 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.
