Closed Captions - Optional
Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written
words which then appear as subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers to read
the dialogue and narration of television programs.
Using Closed Captions
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs. For prerecorded
programs, program dialogue can be arranged into captions in advance. It is possible to caption a live
program by using a process called real-time captioning, which creates captions instantly. Real-time
captioning is normally done by professional reporters using a machine shorthand system and computer
for translation into English.
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it can also aid in teaching language
skills.

with the captions, while Another mode might show demonstration or programmimg information.
3.
Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.
Poor reception conditions are encountered :
- IGNITION :
Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black spots, or horizontal streaking. Usually caused by
interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical
appliances.
- GHOSTS :
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two paths. One is the direct path and the
other is reflected off tall buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the
antenna may improve reception.
- SNOW :
If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV signal, your picture may be marred by
small dots. It may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.
An old, bad or illegally recorded tape is playing.
Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.
The signal from the antenna is weak.
The program wasn't captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.
