Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio por-
tion of a television program into written words which then
appear as subtitles on the television screen. Closed captions
allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration of television
programs.
Using Closed Captions
Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of
television programs. For prerecorded programs, program dia-
logue can be arranged into captions in advance. Its possible
to caption a live program by using a process called real-time
captioning, which creates captions instantly. Real-time cap-
tioning is normally done by professional reporters using a
machine shorthand system and computer for translation into
English.
Captioning is an effective sys-
tem for the hearing-impaired,
and it can also aid in teaching
language skills.

Caption Tips
• Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
• Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption sig-
nals on the same channel. By selecting
CC 1 to CC 2
,
you
can choose which signal you view.
CC 1
is usually the sig-
nal with the captions, while
Another mode
might show
demonstration or programming information.
• Your TV might not receive caption signals normally in the
following situations.
•
IGNITION:
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 elec-
trical appliances.
•
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.
•
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.
