Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV pro- gramming.

This does not indicate a problem with the TV/VCR. Check your TV program listings for shows with closed captions.

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 disappear after five seconds. Closed captions disappear while the on-screen dis- play is present.

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.
