24 Closed Captions

Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV pro-
gramming. Not all TV programs and commercials have closed
captions or all types of closed captions (second language, half-
screen text, etc.). If closed captioning is not broadcast, you
cannot receive it.This does not indicate a problem with the
TV/DVD. Check your TV program listings for shows with
closed captions.
If the TV/DVD receives poor quality television signals, the cap-
tions 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)
● Before you begin, press SELECT to put the TV/DVD
in TV mode.
