Closed Caption Problem Possible Remedy
My TV is showing captions that are
misspelled.
My TV will not show the text in its entirety
or there is a delay of what is being said.
My captions are scrambled with white
boxes on the TV screen.
My program guide listed a TV show as
being closed captioned
but none of the captions were displayed.
My prerecorded videotape does not show
any captions. The tape box mentions it
being closed captioned.
My TV screen shows a black box on certain
channels.
You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the
closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrect-
ed. A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words
because of the normal time available for editing the captions.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue
are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa-
nies 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.
Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc.
may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the
actual program so that additional advertising time can be given.
Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions
will be lost.
The videotape was either an illegal copying or the tape duplicating
company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the
copying process.
You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION
[OFF].

CABINET CLEANING
Wipe the front panel and other exterior sur-
faces of the TV with a soft cloth immersed
in lukewarm water and wrung dry.
Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray
insecticide liquid near the TV. Such chemi-
cals may cause damage and discoloration to
the exposed surfaces.
PICTURE SCREEN CLEANING
If the liquid crystal display panel should
require cleaning, wipe it with a cotton or soft
cloth. Before cleaning the picture screen, dis-
connect the power cord.
V-CHIP SET UP
V-CHIP enables parents to prevent their chil-
dren from watching inappropriate material on
TV.
V-CHIP reads the ratings for programming
(except for news and sports programs, unedit-
ed movies on premium cable channels, and
Emergency Broadcast System signals), then
denies access to programming if the program's
rating meets or exceeds the limitations you
select. In this case, "PROTECTED PRO-
GRAM by ..." message appears on the TV
screen.
To block certain ratings, follow the steps
below.
Programming may be rated by the Motion
Picture Association of America (MPAA) or
