Closed caption problems

If the program or video you selected is not closed- captioned, no captions will display (page 35,36).

If text is not available, a black rectangle may appear. If this happens, turn off the closed caption feature

(page 35,36).

A closed-caption signal may not display correctly in the following situations: a) when a videotape has been dubbed; b) when the signal reception is weak; or c) when the signal reception is nonstandard (page 35,36).
