24 Closed Captions 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- OPEN/CLOSE screen text, etc.). If closed captioning is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate a problem with the TV/DVD. Check your TV program listings for shows with closed captions. If the TV/DVD receives poor quality television signals, the captions may contain errors, or there might be no captions at all. Some possible causes of poor quality signals are: PREV NEXT q Automobile ignition noise q Electric motor noise q Weak signal reception q Multiplex signal reception (ghosts or screen flutter) 1-2 q Before you begin, press SELECT to put the TV/DVD in TV mode. 1,3 1 Press SETUP.
