42 Closed Captions

Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV programming. 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/DVD. Check your TV program listings for shows with closed captions.

If the TV/VCR/DVD 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)

Playing poorly recorded or worn videotapes.

Helpful Hints

If a black box appears on the screen, a TEXT mode is selected. Select CAPTION1, CAPTION2 or OFF.

The TV/VCR/DVD 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/DVD.

Changing channels may delay closed captions for a few seconds.

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