If the unit receives poor quality television signals (mainly when the analog
(NTSC) is received), 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)
–
Data dropout and Pixelation (for DTV only)
Ɣ
The unit retains the closed caption setting if the power fails.

When the unit receives special effects playback signal (e.g. search, slow and
still) from a VCR’s video output channel (ch3 or ch4), the unit may not display
the correct caption or text.
