CLOSED CAPTION
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
This television has the capability to decode and display closed
captioned television programs. When available, closed captioning will
display captions on a small portion of the screen for hearing impaired
viewers or it will translate and display text in another language on half
of the screen.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Press CAP/TEXT on the remote control to switch between normal TV
and the two closed caption modes (Captions and half-screen Text).
Captions: This closed caption mode will display captions on the
screen in English or another language (depending on the setting of
Closed Captions 1/2). Generally, closed captions in English are
transmitted on captions channel 1 and closed captions in other
languages are transmitted on captions channel 2.
The captions will appear in places on the screen where they will least
interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News
programs will usually show three-line closed captions that scroll onto
the screen. Most other shows provide two- or three-line captions
placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the
dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign
languages, or words requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually
appear enclosed by musical notes.
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 areas in which 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.
Text: When available, the Text mode will fill half of the screen with a
programming schedule or other information.
After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect until you select
another mode, even if the channel is changed. If the captions signal is
lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the captions will
reappear when the signal is received again. When you change
channels, the display of captions will be delayed approximately 10
seconds.
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in TV
program listings for the closed captions symbol (“CC”).
NOTICE OF POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON TV PICTURE DISPLAY
Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended
periods of time. Fixed (non-moving) patterns or images (including but not
limited to PIP/POP windows, closed captions, video game patterns, TV
station logos, stock tickers, websites, and special formats that do not use
the entire screen) can become permanently ingrained in the cathode ray
tube(s) of the TV and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This
type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.
