About digital TV broadcasting:
With its high definition broadcast, digital broadcasting
far surpasses analog broadcasting in both its picture
and sound quality.
What is the minor channel?
By using high compression technology, digital
broadcasting offers a service that enables multiple
signals to send simultaneously.
Therefore, you can select more than one program per
major channel since digital broadcasting technology
distinguishes between multiple channels broadcast by
a single network.

SymptomRemedy
The entered channel number
changes automatically
Remote control does not work • Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.
The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.
• Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit changes the
numbers automatically to the ones signifying the broadcasting stations. These are
the numbers used for analog broadcasts.
• Check the batteries of the remote control.
• Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote
control.
• Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the
unit.
• Reduce the distance to the unit.
• Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/– signs) as indicated.
• This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and
contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the TV’s
performance.
Problems with Closed Caption Feature
Misspelled captions are
displayed.
Captions are not entirely
displayed, or captions are
delayed behind the dialogue.
Captions are displayed as a
white box.
No caption is displayed in the
closed caption-supported
program.
No caption is displayed
when playing the videotape
containing captions.
Black box is displayed in the
TV screen.
• Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without
correcting the misspelling in a live broadcast.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common for
•
live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display a dialogue to a
maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is
used to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
• Interference from buildings or weather conditions may cause captioning to be
incomplete.
• Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert advertisement. The closed
caption decoder cannot read the information of the shortened program.
• The videotape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal might not have been
read during copying.
• “Text” mode is selected for caption. Select “CAPTION1”, “CAPTION2” or “OFF”.
