24 Closed Captions
Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV pro-
gramming. Not all TV programs and commercials have closed
captions or all types of closed captions (second language, half-
screen text, etc.). If closed captioning is not broadcast, you
cannot receive it. This does not indicate a problem with the
TV/DVD. Check your TV program listings for shows with
closed captions.
If the TV/DVD 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)
●Before you begin, press SELECT to put the
TV/DVD in TV mode.
