Closed Captions 41
Follow the steps below to select closed captions for TV pro-
gramming. Not all TV programs and commercials have closed
captions or all types of closed captions (second language,
half-screen text, etc.). If closed captioning is not broadcast,
you cannot receive it.This does not indicate a problem with
the TV/VCR/DVD. Check your TV program listings for shows
with closed captions.
If the TV/VCR/DVD receives poor quality television signals,
the captions may contain errors, or there might be no cap-
tions 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)
● Playing poorly recorded or worn videotapes.
