CAPTION1 (C1) and TEXT1 (T1);
are the primary caption and text services.
The captioning or text is displayed in the same
language as the program’s dialogue
(up to 4 lines of script on the TV screen, where it does
not obstruct relevant parts of the picture).
CAPTION2 (C2) and TEXT2 (T2);
are rarely available and broadcasters use them
only in special conditions, such as when “CAPTION1”
or “TEXT1” is not available.
There are 3 display modes according to programs:
Paint-on mode: Displays input characters on the TV
screen immediately.
Pop-on mode: Once characters are stored in
memory, they are displayed all at
once.
Roll-up mode: Displays the characters continuously
by scrolling (max. 4 lines).

Note:
• To show the closed caption on your TV screen, broadcast
signal must contain the closed caption data.
• Not all TV programs and commercials have the closed
caption or all types of the closed caption.
• Captions and texts may not match the TV voice exactly.
• Changing channels may delay the closed caption for a few
seconds.
• Adjusting or muting the volume may delay the closed
caption for a few seconds.
• Abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical shortcuts
may be used in order to keep pace with the on-screen
action. This is not a problem with the unit.
• The caption or text characters will not be displayed while
the main menu or functions display is shown.
• If a black box appears on the TV screen, this means that
the closed caption is set to the text mode. To clear the box,
select “C1”, “C2” or “OFF”.
• If the unit receives poor quality television signals, the
captions may contain errors, or there might be no captions
at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are:
- Automobile ignition noise
- Electric motor noise
- Weak signal reception
- Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter)
• The unit retains the closed caption setting if the power fails.
• When the unit receives a special effects playback signal (i.e.,
Search, Slow and Still) from a VCR’s video output channel
(CH3 or CH4), the unit may not display the correct caption
or text.
