Problems with Closed Caption Feature
Misspelled captions are dis-
played.
• Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without correcting
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 maximum 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 incom-
plete.
• Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert advertisement. The closed cap-
tion decoder cannot read the information of the shortened program.
Black box is displayed in the TV
screen.
• “Text” mode is selected for caption. Select “CAPTION1”, “CAPTION2” or “OFF”.
