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 text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will
translate and display text in another language.
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 text 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 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.
Text: When available, the Text mode will fill part of the screen with a
programming schedule or other information.
After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect until it is
changed, 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. If the channels are changed, the
captions will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in your
TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).

Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen for extended

SELECTING STEREO/SAP BROADCASTS
You can listen to high-fidelity stereo sound with the Multi-channel
TV Sound (MTS) feature. MTS can also transmit a second audio
program (SAP) containing a second language or other audio
information.
When the TV receives a stereo or SAP broadcast, the word
STEREO or SAP appears on-screen every time the TV is turned
on, the channel is changed, or RECALL is pressed.
The MTS feature is not available in the VIDEO mode.
You can leave your TV in STEREO mode because it will
automatically output stereo or monaural sound, depending on
the broadcast type. If the stereo sound is noisy, select MONO to
reduce the noise. The word STEREO or SAP is displayed in
light blue when the TV receives the signal.

TO SELECT THE DESIRED MTS SETTING:

Repeatedly press MTS to select either STEREO, SAP,
MONO+SAP, or MONO. If the current program is not available
in stereo or SAP, the setting will not be available when you
press MTS.
