CONVERGE BLUE

Due to the influence of magnetic fields and changes in the position of the TV, the red, blue, and
green screen colours may not align properly. The result is that red or blue colours may
appear around the edges of images. If various images on the entire picture have red outlines,
adjust CONVERGE RED. Then if any red outlines remain, adjust MULTIPOINT RED. If
various images on the entire picture have blue outlines, adjust CONVERGE BLUE. Then if
any blue outlines remain, adjust MULTIPOINT BLUE. Use UNDO MULTIPOINT if you
want to restore the picture screen to the way it was before you made Multipoint adjustments.

Note

• After turning the TV set on, allow it to warm up for 15 minutes before adjusting Convergence.

• If you adjust Convergence and then change your signal source from PAL to NTSC or from
NTSC to PAL, you may need to readjust Convergence for the new signal source.

Example of a CAPTION mode

Darling, are sure you do not want anything to eat?

Example of a TEXT mode

Caption 1, 2, 3 or 4

During screening, dialogues (or descriptions)
for the captioned television programme
appear on the screen. The text can appear
up to 4 rows simultaneously anywhere on
the screen.

Closed Caption Programme on TCS
All items are based on standard time

(est). Check local listings for the time
in your area.

08 : 00 Things People Do
10 : 00 Dining in Style
12 : 00 News at Noon
12 : 30 The Animal Kingdom

TEXT 1, 2, 3 or 4

Text mode is often used for channel guides,
schedules or bulletin board information when
programmes with Closed Captioning are
shown. The complete screen is used for
displaying the text.

IMPORTANT

1. Not all television programmes and product commercials are made for broadcast with
Closed Captioning information included. Neither are all Closed Captioning modes (Caption
1 to 4 or TEXT 1 to 4) necessarily being used by a broadcast station during transmission
of a programme with Closed Captioning. Check with your local listings for details.

2. A broadcast station will often use spelling abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical
short-cuts in order to keep pace with the on-screen action. These vary with the source
of the captioned text material and do not indicate a need for the service of the television.
