The separate audio programmin_ ("SAP") setting offers you the option of listening to either of two separate audio programs.

For example, a station may broadcast news, weather., or a foreign language soundtrack on the SAP program.

The "Mono" setting reduces unwanted background noise when the Projection TV is receiving a weak stereo broadcast signal.

Using the closed caption decoder

Many broadcasters now supply closed captioning information along with their regular broadcasts.

Your Projection TV can decode that information and display it on your TV so,teen.

There are two types of captioning tlhat broadcasters can send:

"standard" and "text." Standard captioning is relal_ed to the program that is being shown.

Standard captioning usually follows the dialogue of the characters on-screen.

Text captioning does not usually relate to the prod,Tam being shown.

It often contains information such as weatlher or news.

Text captioning often block,'; out your view of the program you are watching.

Your Projection TV can decode four different "standard captioning" signals and four different "text captioning" signals on each TV channel.

However, each station may be broadcasting only one or two captioning signals, or none at all.

To use the closed caption decoder:

Press the VIDEO button on the remote control or on the control panel until the closed captioning ( [7_ ) display appears on the screen.

Press up/down buttons or right!

uses

for closed captioning

Closed captioning was initially designed so that those with hearing difficulties can enjoy viewing television moire, However, closed captioning can also be used in other ways, such as:

• helping children learn to read,

• learning a foreign language, and

• using the television without disturbing others.

_Important:

If you cannot display any captions on the screen, please keep in mind that not all broadcasters, video tapes, or laserdiscs supply closed caption signals.

Additionally, captions will not appear if you are playing a tape or laser disc on a VCR or Laser Disc player that cannot decode closed caption signals; if you are playing a video tape that is worn or deteriorated; or if you are switching from STILL mode er SEARCH mode to PLAY mode on a Laser Disc player that cannot decode closed captioned signals when using these :Features.
