characters sometimes occur during closed caption transmissions, especial- ly those of live events. There may be a small delay before captions appear when you change channels. These are not malfunctions of the TV.

In text mode, information unrelated to the program, such as news or weather, is displayed. Text often covers a large portion of the screen.
