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 hearingimpaired, and it can also aid in teaching language skills.

• The picture as below 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:

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: 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.

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.

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.
