CLOSED CAPTION POSSIBLE REMEDY
PROBLEM
My'rVNcR isshowing captions You a re watchin 'a live b roadcast and s pelling errors made by the closed
that are misspelled, captioning production company may pass through uncorrected. A
pre-recorded program will not show any misspelled words because of the
normal time available for editing the captions.
My TV/VCR will not show the
text in its entirety or there is a
delay of what is being said.
My captions are scrambled with
white boxes on the TV screen.
My program guide listed a TV
show as being closed captioned
but none of the captions were
displayed.
Although the tape box says it has
closed captions, my pre-recorded
video tape does not show any
captions.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are
common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can
'display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue
exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that the captions
remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may
cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.
Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to speed up the
actual program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the
decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost.
The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating company
accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying process.
My TV screen shows a black box You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION [OFF].
