Closed Caption 35
Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV pro-
gramming. Not all TV programs and commercials have closed
captions or all types of closed captions (second language,
half-screen text, etc.). If closed captioning is not broadcast,
you cannot receive it. This does not indicate a problem with
the TV/VCR. Check your TV program listings for shows with
closed captions.
If the TV/VCR 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:
●
Automobile ignition noise
●
Electric motor noise
●
Weak signal reception
●
Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter)
●
Playback of poorly recorded or worn video tapes.
