it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the unit due to lightning and power line
surges.
14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as
contact with them might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING

impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in
another language.

screen text). Closed captioning will
display text on the screen for

NOTES:
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception
is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder text
may not appear. In this case, adjust the
antenna for better reception or use an outdoor
antenna.
• When activating the Closed Captioned
Decoder, there will be a short delay before
the Closed Captioned text appears on the
screen.
• Closed Captioned TV programs can be
recorded and played back on a VCR with the
Closed Captioned text intact. The Closed
Captioning text will disappear during Cue,
Rewind and Pause modes or if the VCR
tracking is not adjusted properly.
• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in

TO MEMORIZE CHANNELS
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 or 2).
Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted
on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
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.
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.
For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions
symbol (CC).
This TV/VCR is equipped with a channel memory
feature which allows channels to skip up or down to
the next channel set into memory, skipping over
unwanted channels. Before selecting channels, they
must be programmed into the TV/VCR’s memory. In
addition to normal VHF and UHF channels, this TV/
VCR can receive up to 113 Cable TV channels. To
use this TV/VCR with an antenna, set the TV/CABLE
menu option to the TV mode. When shipped from the
factory, this menu option is in the CABLE mode.

• 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.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen
displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen
or may interfere with Closed Captions.
• 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.
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems
may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very
poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or
may appear with strange characters or misspelled
words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better
reception or use an outdoor antenna.
