Closed caption
What is closed captioning?
This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed
Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in
another language.
Captions: This closed caption mode will display text on the
screen in English or another language (depending on the
setting of the closed captions CH 1/2).
Generally, closed captions in English are transmitted on
captions channel 1 and closed captions in other languages
are transmitted on captions channel 2.
The captions will appear in places on the screen where they
will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of
the screen. News programs will usually show three-line
closed captions which scroll onto the screen.
Most other shows provide two or three lined captions placed
near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow
the dialogue. Words in italics or underlined describe titles,
words in foreign languages or words requiring emphasis.
Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical
notes.
Text: The text closed caption mode will usually fill the screen
with a programming schedule or other information.
After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect
until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.
If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in
the signal, the captions will reappear when the signal is
received again. If the channels are changed, the captions will
be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
For television programs broadcasting with closed captions,
look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).
To view closed captions

Press CLOSED CAPTION to
switch between normal TV and the
two closed caption modes (cap-
tions and full screen text). Closed
captioning will display text on the
screen for hearing impaired
viewers.
NOTES:
• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approximately 10 seconds.
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with
Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also
entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may
interfere with Closed Captions.
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or
may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception
or use an outdoor antenna.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by which the unit reads the picture
from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event that the heads
become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture will be played back.
This can easily be determined if, during playback of a known good
tape, there is good sound, but no picture (picture is extremely snowy).
If this is the case, have the unit checked by qualified service personnel.
Good Picture Snowy Picture
NOTES: • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

5W90601A [En]57-BACK 57 18/5/06, 2:51 PM

Reception disturbances
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF
antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television
interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the unit is connected to a Cable TV
system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.
IGNITION
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or
drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems,
neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair
dryers.
GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is
the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other
large objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may
improve the reception.
SNOW
If the unit is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area
where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.
If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external
antenna may be necessary.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)

Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving
ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a
loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of
the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.
PICTURE SIZE VARIATION

A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST
or BRIGHTNESS settings.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the power source before cleaning.
The finish on the cabinet may be cleaned with mild soap and a soft, damp cloth and cared for as other furniture.
Use caution when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
