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/VCR. Check your TV program listings for shows with
closed captions.
If the TV/VCR receives poor quality television signals, the
captions 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)
Playback of poorly recorded or worn video tapes.

Helpful Hints
• If a black box appears on the TV
screen, a TEXT mode is selected.
To clear the screen, select [CAP-
TION1], [CAPTION2], or [OFF].
• When Closed Captions are ON,
the on-screen display will disap-
pear after five seconds. This also
is true if you press MUTE or if
you press PAUSE/STILL while
recording.
• The TV/VCR retains the Closed
Caption setting if the power fails.
• Abbreviations, symbols, and other
grammatical shortcuts may be
used in order to keep pace with
the on-screen action. This is not a
problem with the TV/VCR.
• Changing channels may delay
closed captions for a few seconds.
• Adjusting or muting the volume
may delay closed captions for a
few seconds.
