CLOSED CAPTION FUNCTION
Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written
words, which then appear on the television screen in a form similar to subtitles. Closed captions
allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration of television programs.
• Using Closed Captions
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of
television programs. For prerecorded programs, program dialogue
can be arranged into captions in advance. It's possible to caption
a live program by using a process called "real-time captioning",
which creates captions instantly. Real-time captioning is normally
done by professional reporters using a machine shorthand system
_o]l_[o_ _:1
Caption Tips
and computer for translation into English.
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it
can also aid in teaching language skills.
• The picture at left shows a typical caption.
• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast two different caption signals on the same channel. By
selecting CC1 or CC2, you can choose which signal you view. CC1 is usually the signal with
the captions, while CC2 might show demonstration or programming information.
• Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.
[] Poor reception conditions are encountered:
IGNITION:
Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black spots or horizontal
streaking. Usually caused by interference from automobile
ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills and other
electrical appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two
paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected off tall
buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or
position of the antenna may improve reception.
SNOW:
Ifyour receiverislocatedat the weak, fringe area of a IV signal,
your picture may be marred by small dots. It may be necessary
to installa special antenna to improvethe picture.
[] An old, bad or illegally recorded
[] Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.
[] The signal from the antenna is weak.
[] The program wasn't captioned when it was produced, transmitted or taped.

RECORDING
• Tape Selection
The quality of tape you use greatly affects the record/playback quality and the life of the TVCR.
Use only cassette tapes that have the official VHS logo.
High-grade tapes give the best results, especially at the EP speed. They also have a better oxide
coating that helps prevent dirty video heads. Although T-160 tapes offer the longest recording time,
they contain thinner tape that is more likely to stretch or cause tape jams. We suggest that you use
T-120 or shorter tapes.
Recording in the SP or EP mode is possible with this unit. When recording, select the desired
recording mode (SP, EP) with the REC-SPEED button on the remote control. During playback, the
unit automatically detects the recording format, and then plays back the tape in the appropriate
mode.
The following chart shows the maximum recording times for T-60, T-120 and T-160 tapes at the
two recording speeds.
Speed T-60 T-120 T-160
