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.

Helpful Hints

The TV/DVD retains the Closed Caption setting if the power fails.

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 TV/DVD.

Changing channels may delay closed captions for a few seconds.

Adjusting or muting the volume may delay closed captions for a few seconds.

If Closed Captions are active, on- screen status displays will disap- pear after five seconds, then the captions will resume.
