2.Within 5 seconds, repeatedly press SLEEP until the TV screen shows the desired sleep time period. You can set the time in 30- minute increments, up to 90 minutes.

Note: If you do not press SLEEP again within 5 seconds, SLEEP and the displayed time period disappear.

To see the remaining time on the sleep timer, press SLEEP. SLEEP TIMER and the remain- ing time appear on the screen.

To cancel the sleep timer, repeatedly press SLEEP until SLEEP TIMER 00 appears on the TV screen.

CLOSED CAPTION SYSTEM

Your TV/VCR has several closed caption op- tions. Check your TV program listings for CC (Closed Caption) broadcasts.

Selecting the Closed Caption Mode

Most broadcasters send closed captioning infor- mation by using one of two captioning methods; C1 and C2. You can select option C1 or C2 for each active caption mode. You can select any of the following caption modes.

CAP C1 or C2 — A narration of the TV program is displayed on the TV screen.

TEXT C1 or C2 — The center of the screen is blocked out. When the TV station broadcasts text, such as program listings, special informa- tion, etc., it appears in this space.

OFF — Narration does not appear on the screen even if a closed caption or text broadcast is re- ceived.

Notes:

The closed caption or text signal might be broadcast over C1, C2, or both.

Text contents can vary, so you might want to try different settings.

Repeatedly press C.C. (closed caption) on the remote control until the desired caption mode appears on the screen.

Using the Caption On Mute Feature

You can set the TV/VCR so it automatically dis- plays closed caption information when you mute the sound.

Note: To use this feature, you must have select- ed CAPTION OFF using C.C.

2.Repeatedly press SEL or SEL to high- light TV, then press SET. The SET UP TV screen appears with the currently selected caption setting.
