Closed 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 CAPTIONS
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.
TV operation
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 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.

Memorizing channels
This unit 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 unit’s memory. In addition to normal VHF and UHF channels, this unit can receive up to 113
Cable TV channels. To use this unit with an antenna, set the TV/CABLE menu option to the TV mode. When
