NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER:
REGULA T OR Y INFORMATION:
CAUTION:
This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of
the National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and,
in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of
the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as practical.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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 and
computer for translation into English.

Caption Tips
• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption signals on the same channel. By selecting FROM CC1
TO CC4
mode might show demonstration or programming information.
• Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.
, you can choose which signal you view. CC1 is usually the signal with the captions, while Another
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.
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.
