Closed Captions

Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion of a television program into written words which then appear as subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration of television programs.

Using Closed Captions

FOLLOW ME

Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of television programs. For prerecorded programs, program dialogue can be arranged into captions in advance. It is possible to caption a live program by using a process called real-time captioning, which creates captions instantly. Real-time captioning is normally done by professional reporters using a machine shorthand system and computer for translation into English.

Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired, and it can also aid in teaching language skills.

• The picture at left shows a typical caption.

Caption Tips

●

●

●

Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.

Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption signals on the same channel. By selecting

From

CC 1 to CC 4

, you can choose which signal you view.

CC 1

is usually the signal with the captions, while

Another mode

might show demonstration or programming information.

Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the following situations.

1

Poor reception conditions are encountered:

•

IGNITION:

Picture may flutter, drift, suffer from black spots, or horizontal streaking. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills, and other electrical appliances.

•

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected off tall buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception.

•

SNOW:

If your receiver is located at the weak, fringe area of a TV signal, your picture may be marred by small dots. It may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the picture.

2

3

An old, bad or illegally recorded tape is playing.

Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.

4

5

The signal from the antenna is weak.

The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.

Text services give a wide variety of information on all kind of subjects (ex. captioned program lists, weather forecasts, stock exchange topics, news for hearingimpaired---) on up to half of the TV screen.

But not all stations offer text services, even though they might offer captioning.

●

In the event you are receiving a poor signal, an empty black box may appear and disappear, even when the text mode is selected. This is normal when receiving a poor signal.

Maintenance

Caring for your TV

Early malfunctions can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of time you will have your new TV. Be sure to turn the power off and pull out the plug before you begin any cleaning.

1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then use it to wipe the screen.

2. Make sure not to put an excessive amount of water on the screen, let it air-dry before you turn on your TV.

1. Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the cabinet.

2. Rinse the cloth and wipe the cabinet again.

3. Let the cabinet air-dry before turning your TV on.

Extended

Absence

If you intend to leave your TV unused for a long time (such as a vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power cord to protect against possible damage from lightning or power surges. If you use an antenna, you may also want to disconnect it from the back of your TV before leaving.
