● The captions do not always use correct spelling and grammar.
●
●
Not all TV programs and product commercials include closed caption information. Refer to your area TV program listings for the TV channels and times of closed caption shows. The captioned programs are usually noted in the TV listings with service marks such as CC .
Not all captioning services are used by a TV channel during the transmission of a closed caption program.
● Closed caption will NOT be displayed when you are using an HDMI or a component connection.
● To show the closed caption on your TV screen, broadcast signal must contain the closed caption data.
● Not all TV programs and commercials have the closed caption or all types of the closed caption.
● Caption's and text may not exactly match the TV voice.
● Changing channels may delay the closed caption for a few seconds.
● Adjusting or muting the volume may delay the closed caption for a few seconds.
● Abbreviations, symbols and other grammatical shortcuts may be used in order to keep pace with the on-screen action. This is not a malfunction.
● The caption or text characters will not be displayed while the Main menu or functions display is shown.
●
●
If a black box appears on the TV screen, this means that the closed caption is set to the text mode. To clear the box, select CC-1 , CC-2 , CC-3 or CC-4 .
If the unit receives poor quality television signals, the captions may contain errors or there might be no captions at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are:

– Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter)
– Data dropout and pixelation (for DTV only)
