,, Check for magnetism from nearby appliances and try
degaussing.

,, Possible in a live broadcast. Not in case of a prerecorded pro-
gram.
,, A few seconds of delay is common for live broadcast.
If a dialogue exceeds the display capacity (220 words per
minute), selective editing is used so that the captions remain
up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
,, Caused by interferences of building, power lines, thunder-
storms, etc.
,, The broadcast may use a time compression process to speed
up the program. The decoder cannot read the compressed
information and captions will be lost.
,, Possibility of a illegal copy or an erroneous copying process
accidentally performed by the fabricator.
