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 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.

Caption Tips

• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.

• Sometimes TV stations broadcast two different caption signals on the same channel. By selecting

MODE 1 or MODE 2, you can choose which signal you view. MODE 1 is usually the signal with the
captions, while MODE 2 might show demonstration or programming information.

• Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.

Poor reception conditions are encountered:

An old, bad or illegally recorded tape is played.

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.

Closed caption function (some models)

A

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.

A

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.

A

SNOW:
If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV signal,
your picture may be marred by small dots. It may be necessary to
install a special antenna to improve the picture.

Using the Text Function

Text services give a wide variety of information on all kind of subjects
(ex. captioned program lists, weather forecasts, stock exchange
topics, news for hearing-impaired---) through the full TV screen.
But not all stations offer text services, even though they might offer
captioning.

Note: In the event you receive a poor signal, an empty black box may

appear and disappear, even when the text mode is selected.
This is normal function in such an event.

Connecting an Outdoor Antenna

For the best reception, we recommend you use an outdoor antenna.
Severely weathered antennas and antenna cables can reduce the signal quality. Before connecting it,
necessarily inspect them. Any service center can explain the various outdoor antennas available to you.

Connecting a CATV Cable

If you subscribe to a CATV system, change the antenna connection as described below.

1. Remove the 300 to 75 ohm adapter or the cable from the set if attached.

2. Connect the CATV cable (75 ohm coaxial cable) to the 75 ohm antenna jack.

300 Ohm Flat Wire

1. Connect the 300 ohm flat wire to screws on the
300 ohm to 75 ohm adapter.

2. Push the end of 300 ohm to 75 ohm adapter
into 75 ohm antenna jack.

75 Ohm Coaxial Cable

1. Connect the 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to
the 75 ohm antenna jack.
