PROBLEM Picture OK, Sound Poor Timer recording is not possible. Cannot go into Record mode. Playback picture is partially noisy. No picture but the audio is OK in playback. No operation by infrared Remote Control. Video or color fades in and out when making a copy of a video tape. Different color marks on screen. CORRECTIVE ACTION • Try a new channel, if OK, then possible station trouble. • Check for local interference. • Make sure the timer recording is set correctly. • Make sure the power is off. • Make sure the TV/DVD/VCR clock is set correctly. • Make sure the tape has an erase-prevention tab. If need, cover the • hole with plastic tape. • Adjust tracking control for a better picture using the CHANNEL • button K or L on the TV/DVD/VCR. • Head cleaning may be necessary. Refer to "AUTO HEAD • CLEANING" on page 50. • Make sure the AC cord is connected to an AC outlet. • Check batteries in remote control. • You can not copy a copyrighted video tape. You are experiencing • copy guard protection. • Magnetism from nearby appliances and geomagnetism might affect the color of the TV picture. Move the TV/DVD/VCR away from the appliances, the TV/DVD/VCR can repair itself automatically. If you want to repair immediately, unplug the power cord, then plug it in again 30 minutes or so later. CLOSED CAPTION PROBLEM My TV/DVD/VCR is showing captions that are misspelled. My TV/DVD/VCR will not show the text dialogue in its entirety or there is a delay of what is being said. My captions are scrambled with white boxes on the TV screen. My program guide listed a TV show as being closed captioned but none of the captions were displayed. My prerecorded video tape does not show any captions. The tape box mentions it being closed captioned. My TV screen shows a black box on certain channels. POSSIBLE REMEDY • You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the • closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrected. • A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because • of the normal time available for editing the captions. • Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual are common for live broadcast. Most captioning production • companies can display a dialogue to a maximum of 220 words • per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is used • to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current • TV screen dialogue. • Interference caused by building, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. • may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear. • Broadcasters may at times use a time compression process to speed • up the actual program so that additional advertising time can be • given. Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, • captions will be lost. • The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating • company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the • copying process. • You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode to CAPTION • [OFF]. - 48 - EN 01A11
