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 video tapes.

Helpful Hints

If a black box appears on the TV screen, a TEXT mode is selected. To clear the screen, select [CAP- TION1], [CAPTION2], or [OFF].

When Closed Captions are ON, the on-screen display will disap- pear after five seconds. This also is true if you press MUTE or if you press PAUSE/STILL while recording.

The TV/VCR 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/VCR.

Changing channels may delay closed captions for a few seconds.

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