C
losed Captioning allows
you to read the voice
content of television pro-
grams on the TV screen.
Designed to help the hearing
impaired, this feature uses
on screen "text boxes" to
show dialogue and conversa-
tions while the TV program
is in progress.
Note: Broadcast stations will
often use spelling abbrevia-
tions, symbols, dropouts, and
other grammatical shortcuts
in order to keep pace with
the on screen action. These
factors vary upon the source
of the captioned text materi-
al and do not indicate a need
for TV service.
CLOSED CAPTIONING
Press the MENU button
repeatedly to select CCD
SELECT with the TV’s on
screen arrow.
Press the SET +/- buttons
or the SELECT button to
select the desired Closed
Caption mode, for example,
CAPTION C1.
Note: Usually
CAPTION C1 is
the preferred mode for viewing
captioned material.
CAPTION C1 or C2 mode:
dialogue (and descriptions) for
the action on the TV program
shows on screen. (See Smart
Help on this page.)
TEXT C1 or C2 mode: a black
box will appear on the TV
screen. If this type of Closed
Captioning is available, text or
information will appear.
Remember,
not all TV
programs and com-
mercials are broad-
cast with Closed
Caption informa-
tion. Neither are all
Closed Caption
modes (CAPTION
C1 or C2) necessar-
ily being used by a
broadcast station
during the transmis-
sion of a Closed
Caption program.
Refer to your area's
TV program listings
for the stations and
times of Closed
Caption shows.

APTION
Round Cable 75Ω - A single, solid, antenna wire normally matched with
a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a
75Ω input on the Television or VCR. It is also known as a Coaxial Cable.
Display - Allows you to quickly confirm the current channel number.
Jack Panel - The area on the back of the TV cabinet.
On Screen Displays (OSD) - The wording or messages generated by the
television to help you with specific features (color adjustment, program-
ming, etc.).
Menu - An on screen listing of features that are available for adjustments.
Programming - Adding or deleting channel numbers in the television’s
memory. The television “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired
channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.
Remote Sensor - A window on the television control panel through which
infrared remote control signals are received.
Twin Lead Wire - The two-strand 300Ω antenna wire used with many
indoor and outdoor antenna systems. In many cases, this antenna wire
requires an additional adaptor (or balun) in order to connect to the 75Ω
Input terminal of more recent televisions and VCRs.
