CLOSED CAPTION  
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.  
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. 1/2 button). Generally, Closed  
Captions in English are transmitted on Captions Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other  
languages are transmitted on Captions Channel 2.

Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/3 of full 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.  
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 which scroll onto the screen. Most other shows provide two or three lined 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.

SETTING LANGUAGE  
• 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.  
This TV can display the channel number, on screen displays and picture adjustments on the
