Closed Captions :
Closed captioning is a process which converts the audio portion 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 thesubtitles of the dialogue and narrationof television programs.
For prerecorded programs, program dialogue 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 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 inteaching language skills.

Caption Tips :
Not all TV broadcasts include closed caption signals.
Sometimes TV stations broadcast four different caption signals on the same
channel. By selecting CC 1 to C C 2, you can choose which signal you view.

show demonstration or programming information.
YourTV might not receive caption signals normally inthe following situations.

IGNITION:

Usually caused byinterference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps,
electrical drills, andother electrical appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused when the TV signal splits and follows two paths. One is the
direct path andthe other is reflected off tall buildings, hillsor other objects.
Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception.
SNOW:
If your receiver is locatedat 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.
2. An old, bad, or illegally recorded tape is being played.
3. Strong, random signals from a car or airplane interfere with the TV signal.
