Closed Caption Function
Closed captioning is a process, which converts the audio portion of a television
program into written words which then appear on the television screen in a form
similar to subtitles. Closed captions allow viewers to read the dialogue and narration
of television programs.
Using Closed Captions
If captions are not displayed properly, following are some possible causes:
* Captions may not be available on program.
* Poor reception conditions may exist:
• IGNITION:
Picture may flutter, drift, and suffer from black spots or horizontal streaking. Usually
caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical drills,
and other electrical 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.
An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is played.
Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.
The signal from the antenna is weak.
The program wasn’t captioned when it was produced, transmitted, or taped.

Captions are the subtitles of the dialogue and narration of
television programs. For prerecorded programs, program
dialogue can be arranged into captions in advance. It’s
possible to caption a live program by using a process called
real-time captioning, which creates captions instantly. Real
time captioning is normally done by professional reporters
using a machine shorthand system and computer for
translation into English.
Captioning is an effective system for the hearing-impaired,
and it can also aid in teaching language skills.
