Note(s)
Digital CC that you can switch differs depending on the broadcast
●
format.
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 L 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
