Closed Caption 35

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/VCR.Check your TV program listings for shows with
closed captions.
If the TV/VCR 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)
●Playback of poorly recorded or worn videotapes.
