CC-3 and T-3;

serve as the preferred data channels.

The captioning or text is often a secondary language.

CC-2, CC-4, T-2 and T-4;

are rarely available and broadcasters use them only in special conditions, such as when “CC-1” and “CC-3” or “T-1” and “T-3” are 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).

6Press [MENU] to exit.

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 TV.

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 “CC-1”, “CC-2”, “CC-3”, “CC-4” or “Off”.

If the TV 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 TV retains the closed caption setting if the power fails.

Closed caption will not be displayed when you are using an HDMI connection.

When the TV receives a special effects playback signal (i.e., Search, Slow and Still) from a VCR’s video output channel (CH3 or CH4), the TV may not display the correct caption or text.
