Cmosed caption
WHAT iS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
This television has the capability to decode and display closed captioned television programs. Closed captioning
will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another language

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 will 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 emphasis. 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)

TO ViEW CLOSED CAPTmONS
Press CLOSED CAPTION to
switch between normal TV and the
two closed caption modes (captions and full screen text). Closed
captioning will display text on the
screen for hearing impaired
viewers

NOTES:
When selecting closed captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately
10 seconds
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the caption mode.
Misspellings
or unusual characters may occasionally
appear during closed captioning. This is normal with
closed captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also
entered live. These transmissions
do not allow time for editing.
When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may
interfere with closed captions.
Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal.
If using an indoor antenna or ifTV reception is very poor, the closed caption decoder may not appear or
may appear with strange characters or misspelled words tn this case, adjust the antenna for better reception
or use an outdoor antenna
