Closed Captions
Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words which
then appear as subtitles on the television screen. 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 is 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

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
CC 1 to CC 4
Another mode might show demonstration or programming information.
● Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.
Poor reception conditions are encountered:
1
, you can choose which signal you view. CC 1 is usually the signal with the captions, while
can also aid in teaching language skills.
• The picture at left shows a typical caption.
• 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 playing.
2
Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.
3
The signal from the antenna is weak.

The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.

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 not to put an excessive amount of water on the screen, let it
air-dry before you turn on your TV.
Cabinet Cleaning

What is Image-Persistence?
A residual image from a previous screen is still viewable after changing channels/inputs.
Sometimes the after image will fade away in a few seconds/minutes, but it is possible that the
image is persistent and doesn’t fade away. This problem is most common on devices that use
phosphor in the screen, but can also affect LCDs. Although Image-Persistence takes longer to
happen on LCDs than with phosphor based displays, care should be taken to prevent
permanent effects. Image-Persistence is also known as “Image Burn-In”, “Image-Retention”,
and “Image-Sticking”.
What causes Image-Persistence on LCDs?
When an LCD TV or monitor is operated continuously for a long period of time with a fixed (non-
moving) image, a trace of electric charge can build up near electrodes inside the LCD module.
The result of this is a residual image of the previous image when the screen is changed.
How do I prevent Image-Persistence on my LCD?
• Turn the device off when not use.
• Do not leave static DVD or game menus on the screen for long periods of time.
• Use a screen saver and/or power save feature when using the LCD as a PC monitor.
• Change your PC’s background wallpaper periodically.
How do I reverse Image-Persistence on my LCD?
• Leave the device off for several hours/days.
• Display a white image on your screen for several hours/days.
• Use a screen saver that uniformly “exercises” each part of the screen.
NOTE: These methods do not guarantee that image burn-in will be reversible.
Is Image-Persistence covered by warranty?
No, this is considered misuse and is not covered by warranty. Normally, only product defects are
covered by warranty and Image-Sticking is inherent to the technology used to make the display.
