QuickTips
■
If Caption Text mode
is selected and no
captioned text is
broadcasted, a black
box may appear and
remain on the TV
screen.
To remove this black
box, set captioning to
any mode other than
Text1 or Text2 or
press the RESET key
to cancel captioning
and customized
settings.
■
When captioning
is turned on, the
channel display will
not stay on the screen.
For these displays
to stay on the
screen you must set
Captioning to OFF.
Caption1: This is the main mode used for program caption-
ing (words match the program you are watching). Almost all
broadcasters will use Caption1 to transmit program captions.
These captions are generally one or two lines.
Caption2: This is an alternative mode for program caption-
ing. Caption2 may be used by the broadcaster to provide
captions in another language, such as, Spanish or French.
Text1: This mode is used to display large amounts of text.
This text will appear within a black box that may be nearly
as large as the TV screen. Text displayed in this manner
does not generally relate to the program. These captions
may be used by broadcasters to provide weather reports,
community bulletins, stock quotes, etc.
Text2: This is an alternative mode used to display large
amounts of text. The same types of information displayed in
Text1 can be displayed in Text2.
Quikcap: Quikcap allows captions to toggle on and off
with the Mute function. For example, the phone rings; you
press the MUTE key on the remote control to block the TV
sound; the captions display automatically. When you finish
your conversation and press the MUTE key again to restore
the sound, the captions will disappear.
Quikcap displays program captions in the Caption1 mode.
SETTING CAPTIONS
1. Press the CAPTION key on the remote control.
2. Use the 0 key to select OFF, Caption1,
Caption2, Text1, Text2, or Quikcap.
CLOSED-CAPTIONING
Captioning is textual information transmitted along with the picture and sound so it can be
displayed on the TV screen. Because different types of captions can be transmitted with the
TV signal, separate captioning modes are provided. The captioning modes recognized by
this model are: Caption1, Caption2, Text1, and Text2. Local broadcasters decide which
caption signals to transmit. They may not choose to provide captions or may provide
captions in one or all of the available modes.
