Closed Caption Problem Possible Remedy

My TVis showing captions that are

misspelled.

My TVwill not show the text in its entirety

or there is a delay of what is being said.

My captions are scrambled with white

boxes on the TVscreen.

My program guide listed a TVshow as

being closed captioned

but none of the captions were displayed.

My prerecorded videotape does not show

any captions. The tape box mentions it

being closed captioned.

My TVscreen shows a black box on certain

channels.

You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the

closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrect-

ed. Aprerecorded program will not show any misspelled words

because of the normal time available for editing the captions.

Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue

are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa-

nies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words per minute.

If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used to insure that

the captions remain up-to-date with the current TVscreen dialogue.

Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc.

may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear.

Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to the

actual program so that additional advertising time can be given.

Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions

will be lost.

The videotape was either an illegal copying or the tape duplicating

company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the

copying process.

You are in the TEXTmode. Select CAPTION mode or CAPTION

[OFF].
