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.
CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR
Close Captioned programs can be
recorded and played back on a VCR with
the Closed Captioned text intact. The
Closed Captioned text will disappear
during Cue (Fast Forward Search),Review
(Rewind Search) and Pause modes or if
the VCR tracking is not adjusted properly.
NOTES:
When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10
seconds.
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 mutemay
not be seen of 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.

TEXT:
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.
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.

programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions
symbol (CC).
