Polarization/Grounding--This product is equipped with either a polarized, non-polarized, or a grounding type power cord plug. If equipped with the non-polarlz-ed type (two blades of identical size), the following does not apply.

A polarized power plug (two blades, one wider than the other) will fit into a power receptacle only

one way. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat it. If you are unable to insert the plug fully, try

reversing it, or have an electrician change the receptacle. If you need an extension cord, use only a polarized extension cord.

• A grounding type power plug (two blades and a round pin) will fit only into a grounding type receptacle with matching openings. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat it. You may need an

electrician to install a grounding type receptacle. If you need an extension cord, use only a grounding type extension cord.

Closed caption

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another language.

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the screen in English or another language (depending on the set-

ting of the Closed Captions CH 1/2). Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Cap- tions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.

Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill the screen with a programming schedule or other information. After selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.

If the Captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the Captions will reappear when the signal is received again. If the channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds. The Captions will appear in places

on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show three-line Closed Captions which scroll onto the screen. Most other shows provide two or three lined Captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in

foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes. For television programs broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for the Closed Captions symbol (CC).

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS Press CLOSED CAPTION to switch between normal TV and the

two closed caption modes (cap- tions and full screen text). Closed

captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired

viewers.

NOTES:

• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also

entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with Closed Captions.

• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during

playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case. have the unit checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES: • DO NOTATTEMPTTO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE

REAR COVER.

• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
