Closed Captions

22

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.

Closed Captions Overview

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 hearing-impaired, and it can
also aid in teaching language skills.

• The picture at left 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 CC

1, CC 2, CC 3, or CC 4, you can choose which signal you view. CC 1 is usually the signal with the
captions, while another mode might show demonstrations or programming information.

• Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.
Poor reception conditions are encountered:

An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is playing.
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.

A

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.

A

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.

A

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.

Text Overview

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---) displayed on the TV screen.
But not all stations offer text services, even though they might offer
closed captions.

Note

• In the event you receive a poor signal, an empty black box may

appear and disappear, when the text mode is selected. This occurs
because the signal is not strong enough.

1. Remove the 300 to 75 ohm adapter or the cable from the set if attached.

2. Connect the CATV cable (75 ohm coaxial cable) to the 75 ohm antenna jack.

300 Ohm Flat Wire

1. Connect the 300 ohm flat wire terminals to
screws on the 300 ohm to 75 ohm adapter.

Maintenance

33

Early malfunctions can be prevented. Please read pages 2-3-4 in the front of the manual and
follow the recommendations provided. Careful and regular cleaning of your new TV can
enhance your viewing pleasure.

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth
in a mixture of lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing
detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the
screen.

2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you
turn on your TV.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.

2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.

3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning the TV on.

If you expect to leave your TV dormant for a long time (such as a vacation), unplug
the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges.
If you use an off-air antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of
your TV before leaving.
