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.
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS
Press the CLOSED CAPTION button on the remote control
to switch between normal TV and the two Closed Caption
Modes (Captions and 1/2 of Full Screen Text).
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on
the screen in English or another language. Generally,
Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Captions
Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are
transmitted on Captions Channel 2.
• When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the Closed Captioned text appears on the screen.
• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.
• 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 CATV 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.
STEREO AND SECOND AUDIO PROGRAM (SAP)
The TV is equipped with a feature known as Multi-channel TV
Sound or MTS. MTS broadcasts greatly enhance TV viewing
by bringing you programs with high fidelity stereo sound.
MTS also provides an extra channel called the Second
Audio Program or SAP which broadcasters can use to
transmit a second language for bilingual transmission or
for other purposes.
LISTENING TO STEREO SOUND
When the TV is turned on or a channel selection is made,
make certain that the word "STEREO" appears on the
screen. This means that "Stereo" broadcasting is available.
You can enjoy stereo sound from the left and right speakers.
• When the "MONO" broadcasting is received, no indication
is displayed.
• If the broadcast signal is not strong enough or clear
stereo sound is not available, press the AUDIO SELECT
button to change to mono sound. The noise should be
eliminated. Press it again to return to the stereo sound.

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 1/2 of full
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).
LISTENING TO SAP (SECOND AUDIO PROGRAM)
When the TV is turned on or a channel selection is made,
make certain that the letters "SAP" appear on the screen.
This means that the "Second Audio Program" broadcasting
is available.
