captioRs
Closed Caption might not appear according to the
condition of the signal from the broadcasting station.
Your TV is equipped
with an internal Closed Caption
decoder.
It allows you to view conversations,
narration
and sound effects
as subtitles
on your TV. Closed
Captions
are available
on some TV programs
and on
some VHS home video tapes at the discretion
of the
program
provider.
Digital Closed Caption
service
is a new caption
service available
only on digital TV programs
(also
at the discretion
of the service
provider).
It is a more
flexible system than the original
Closed Caption
system,
because
it allows a variety of caption
sizes
and font styles.
When the Digital Closed Caption
service
is in use, it will be indicated
by the appearance
of a 3-letter abbreviation
that also indicates
the
language
of the Digital Closed Captions:
ENG
(English),
SPA (Spanish),
FRA (French)
or other
language
codes.
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed
captions. Please look for the "_"
symbol to ensure
that captions will be shown.

The "C1" and "C2" services
display
subtitles
of TV programs
superimposed
over the
program's
picture. Generally,
Closed
Captions
in
English are transmitted
on C1 and Closed Captions
in
other languages
are transmitted
on C2.
In the Closed

the "TI" or "T2"
services
display text that is unrelated
to the program
being viewed
(e.g., weather
or news).
These services
are also superimposed
over the program
currently
being viewed.
If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned,
no captions will display on-screen.
If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, setting the "CC
Setting" to "Off".
When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approx. 10 seconds.
If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.
Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed
Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, 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 be seen but may interfere with
Closed Captions.
Some Cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned 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.
When a Digital TV Program has both Digital Closed Caption and Analog Closed Caption signals, Digital Closed Caption is
displayed.
