Picture Tilt
(Direct View TV 31” or above) Your TV has an extra large picture tube that
makes it vulnerable to the effects of the Earth’s magnetic field. You may need to adjust the
picture tilt.
Using Closed Captioning
Many programs are encoded with closed-captioning information, which lets you display the
audio portion of a program as text on the TV screen.
Closed captioning is not available on all channels at all times. Only specific programs encoded
with closed-captioning information are applicable. When a program is closed captioned, the
CC
icon is displayed in the channel banner. See Chapter 3 for more information about the
channel banner.
Tip
If you don’t know which Closed-Caption mode
to use, select CC1. CC1 is probably the mode
that is used in your area. CC2, CC3, and CC4
are reserved for foreign languages, but are
rarely used at this time.
