Closed Captioning

The closed captioning feature displays the audio portion of a program as text on the TV screen. This is useful to hearing impaired or anyone who wants to watch a program without sound.

There are four types of closed captions: Caption 1, Caption 2, Text 1 and Text 2. Caption 1 displays the full translation of the primary language in your area. Caption 2 may be used as a second source for secondary languages. Text 1 and Text 2 display on-screen boxes containing the text of general information not necessarily related to the program being watched.

Closed captioning is not available on all channels. Check your

TV program listings for CC (closed caption) broadcasts.

Commercial Skip

As its name suggests, Commercial Skip allows you to bypass commercials during normal TV viewing. When a commercial comes on, you can activate the Commercial Skip timer to run from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. While the timer is counting down, you are free to watch other channels. After the timer runs out, the TV/VCR automatically changes back to your original channel. Use the following steps to program the Commercial Skip timer:

1.On your remote, press SKIP/SEARCH. An on-screen timer appears.

2.Press SKIP/SEARCH repeatedly to set the timer as desired. The time increases by 30 seconds each time SKIP/SEARCH is pressed. Skip countdown starts automatically if you haven’t pressed SKIP/SEARCH for two seconds.

3.To cancel Commercial Skip, keep pressing SKIP/SEARCH until the SKIP display disappears from the screen, or press CLEAR. Your TV/VCR will stay tuned to the channel it is on and will not change back to your original channel.
