CLOSED CAPTION PROBLEM
My TV/VCR/DVD is showing
captions that are misspelled.
My TV/VCR/DVD will not show
the text dialogue 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 • Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to speed
as being closed captioned but none
of the captions were displayed.
My prerecorded video tape does not
show any captions. The tape box
mentions it being closed captioned.
My TV screen shows a black box
on certain channels.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
•
Try a new channel, if OK, then possible station trouble.
•
Check for local interference.
•
Make sure the timer recording is set correctly.
•
Make sure the power is off.
•
Make sure the TV/VCR/DVD clock is set correctly.
•
Make sure the tape has an erase-prevention tab. If need, cover the
•
hole with plastic tape.
•
Adjust tracking control for a better picture using the CHANNEL
•
button K or L on the TV/VCR/DVD.
•
Head cleaning may be necessary. Refer to "AUTO HEAD
•
CLEANING" on page 50.
•
Make sure the AC cord is connected to an AC outlet.
•
Check batteries in remote control.
•
You can not copy a copyrighted video tape. You are experiencing
•
copy guard protection.
•
Magnetism from nearby appliances and geomagnetism might affect
the color of the TV picture. Move the TV/VCR/DVD away from the
appliances, the TV/VCR/DVD can repair itself automatically. If you
want to repair immediately, unplug the power cord, then plug it in
again 30 minutes later or so.
POSSIBLE REMEDY
• You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the
• closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrected.
• 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
are common for live broadcast. Most captioning production
• companies 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.
• up the actual program so that additional advertising time can be
• given. Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information,
• captions will be lost.
• The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating
• company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the
• copying process.
• You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode to CAPTION
• [OFF].
