Closed caption function (some models)
Closed captioning is a process which converts
the audio portion of a television program into
written words, which then appear on the
television screen in a form similar to subtitles.
Closed captions allow viewers to read the
dialogue and narration of television programs.
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.
A 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.
A 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. An old, bad or illegally recorded tape is
played.
3. Strong, random signals from a car or airplane
interfere with the TV signal.
4. The signal from the antenna is weak.
5. The program wasn't captioned when it was
produced, transmitted or taped.
Using Closed Captions
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's 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 hearingimpaired, and it can also aid in teaching language
skills.
Caption Tips
• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption
signals.
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast two
different caption signals on the same channel.
By selecting MODE 1 or MODE 2, you can
choose which signal you view. MODE 1 is
usually the signal with the captions, while
MODE 2 might show demonstration or
programming information.
• Your TV might not receive caption signals
normally in the following situations.
1. Poor reception conditions are encountered:
A IGNITION:
Using the Text Function
Text services give a wide variety of information on
all kind of subjects (ex. captioned program lists,
weather forecasts, stock exchange topics, news
for hearing-impaired---) through the full TV screen.
But not all stations offer text services, even
though they might offer captioning.
Note: In the event you receive a poor signal, an
empty black box may appear and disappear, even
when the text mode is selected. This is normal
function in such an event.
