Captions:
This closed caption
mode will display text on the screen in English or another language
(depending
on the
setting of the closed captions
CH 1/2).
Generally,
closed captions
in English are transmitted
on captions
channel
1 and closed captions
in other languages
are transmitted
on captions
channel
2.
Text: 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 witl
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
empha-
sis. 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
symbol (CC).
