WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?
This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another language.
CLOSED CAPTIONING WITH A VCR
Closed Captioned programs can be recorded and played back on a VCR with the Closed Captioned text intact.
The Closed Captioned text will disappear during Cue (Fast Forward Search), Review (Rewind Search) and Pause Modes or if the VCR tracking is not adjusted properly.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Press CLOSED CAPTION on the remote control to switch between normal TV and the two Closed Caption Modes (Captions and Full Screen Text).
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the screen in English or another language (depending on the setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1 or 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 Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 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 ap- proximately 10 seconds.
