LOCATION OF CONTROLS CLOSED CAPTION

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs.

Closed Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will

translate and display text in another language.

TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS

• When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the

Closed Captioned text appears on the screen.

• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in

the Caption Mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning.

This is normal with Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because

during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow

time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may

not be seen or may interfere with Closed Captions.

• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed

Captioned signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder

may not appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case,

adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
