CAPTIONS
(CONTINUED)
Application
Your new TV is able to decode and display the closed cap-
tions and informational text that are broadcast with some
TV shows.
Captions
can be subtitles for the
hearing
im-
paired, or translations
into another
language.
Informational
text can be the daily program schedule for the TV station,
or special announcements.
Look for a (CC) or similar sign in your TV schedule, or on
the video tape cassette, which indicates that captions are
provided.
The closed caption signal is recorded by all VCRs when
recording a TV broadcast or copying a tape having closed
captions.
About Closed Caption Operation
Once you turn CAPTIONS ON, they will stay ON until you
turn CAPTIONS
OFF. Captions will appear as they are
received. If captions stop being received, they will stop ap-
pearing on the TV. If they are received again, captions will
automatically appear again on the TV. The captions will ap-
pear on the TV as they were created. If they were created
in color, they will appear in color. If they were created in
both upper and lower case letters, they will appear in both
upper and lower case letters.
The TV can not show more than one on-screen display at a
time, so no captions will appear until all other displays
(Channel/Time) have been removed from the screen. (The
exceptions to this rule are the Volume and Mute displays).
To remove a display that is interfering with captions, press
ENTER until the display disappears.
Likewise, you can in-
stanfly remove any captions by pressing ENTER to call up
the Chaune!/Time
display. When you press ENTER again,
the Channel/Time
display disappears and you return in-
stantly
to captions.
CAPTIONS
has four different selections that can be made:
CAPTION
1, CAPTION 2, TEXT 1 or TEXT 2. At the
time of this writing, very little appears in any selection ex-
cept CAPTION
1. Therefore, you should select CAPTION
1 and leave it in that position unless you know there is some-
thing you want to see in one of the other selections.
Once
you make a selection, that selection is remembered until
you change it.
