Using the TV

13

If the program or video you select is not closed-captioned, no captions display on-screen.

If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the closed caption feature to OFF.

When selecting closed captions, the captioning delays about ten seconds. If no caption signal is received, no captions appear, but the television

remains in the caption mode.

Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning. This is normal with closed captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute, may be seen but may interfere with closed captions.

Some cable television systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal.

If using an indoor antenna or if television reception is very poor, the closed caption decoder may not appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
