PROBLEM

Closed Caption Problem Possible Remedy
Misspelled captions are shown.
Text is not shown in its entirety
or there is a delay of what is being said.
Captions are scrambled with white boxes
on the TV screen.
No captions are displayed in a program
which must contain closed caption.
No captions are displayed when playing a
prerecorded videotape with closed caption.
The TV screen shows a black box.
Spelling errors may pass through uncorrected by the closed caption-
ing production company in a live broadcast.
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 use a time compression process to the actual pro-
gram so that additional advertising time can be given. In this case,
captions will be lost since the decoder cannot read the compressed
information.
The videotape may be either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating
company may accidentally have left out the captioning signals dur-
ing the copying process.
You are in TEXT mode. Select CAPTION [C1], [C2] or [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 TUBE CLEANING
Wipe the picture tube of the TV with a soft
cloth. Before cleaning the picture tube, discon-
nect the power cord.
