Closed Captions - Emerson Dora the Explorer DTE351 Owner's Manual

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
This television has the capability to decode and display
Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning
will display text on the screen for hearing-impaired viewers
or it will translate and display text in another language.
CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR
Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played
back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact. The
Closed Captioned text will disappear during Cue (Fast
Forward Search), Review (Rewind Search) and Pause
modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted properly.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Enter the SPECIAL menu and select the Closed Caption
icon.
CAPTIONS (C1,C2,CMUTE): This Closed Caption Mode
will display text on the screen in English or other
languages. Generally, Closed Captions in English are
transmitted on Captions 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Caption 2.
NOTES:
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed
Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because captions are also entered live. These transmissions do
not allow time for editing.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may
interfere with Closed Captions.
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Caption signal.
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may
appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use
an outdoor antenna.

CLOSED CAPTIONS
TEXT (T1, T2): The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually
fill the screen with a programming schedule or other
information.
After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect
until it is changed, even if the channel is changed. If the
Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in
the signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is
received again. If the channels are changed, the Captions
will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where
they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the
bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show
three-line Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen.
Most other shows provide two or three-lined Captions
placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer
can follow the dialogue.
Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in
foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that
are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions,
look in your TV Guide for the Closed Captions symbo(CC).
