Closed captions service may not be controlled by this unit's menu options if you
are watching television through a set-top box. In which case you will need to
use the menu options on the external set-top box to control closed captions.
The captions do not always use correct spelling and grammar.
Not all TV programs and product commercials include closed captions
information. Refer to your area TV program listings for the TV channels and
times of closed captions shows. The closed captions programs are usually
noted in the TV listings with a service mark such as CC.
Not all closed captions services are used by a TV broadcaster during the
transmission of a closed caption program.
To show the closed caption on your TV screen, broadcast signal must
contain the closed caption data.
Captions and texts may not exactly match the TV voice.
Changing channels may delay the closed caption for a few seconds.
Adjusting or muting the volume may delay the closed caption for a few
seconds.
Abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical shortcuts may be used in
order to keep pace with the on-screen action. This is not a malfunction.
The caption or text characters will not be displayed while the main menu or
functions display is shown.
If a black box appears on the TV screen, this means that the closed caption
is set to the text mode. To clear the box, select CC 1, CC 2, CC 3, or CC 4.
Refer to Closed Caption
p. 28
If the unit receives poor quality television signals (mainly when the analog
(NTSC) is received), the captions may contain errors or there might be no
captions at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are:
Automobile ignition noise
–
Electric motor noise
–
Weak signal reception
–
Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter)
–
Data dropout and Pixelation (for DTV only)
–
The unit retains the closed caption setting if the power fails.
When the unit receives special effects playback signal (e.g. search, slow and
still) from a VCR's video output channel (ch3 or ch4), the unit may not display
the correct caption or text.
The EUT (Equipment Under Test) setting that satisfies
§ 79.102 (e) is as follows:
Font: Mono-font
–
Character size: Large
