REVIEW
Note: Broadcast stations will
often use spelling abbreviations,
symbols, dropouts and other
grammatical shortcuts in order
to keep pace with the on-screen
action. These factors vary with
the source of the captioned text
material and do not indicate a
need for TV service.
To cancel Closed

TION to OFF at
step 2.

• Captions and texts may not match the TV voice broadcast exactly.
• Interference may cause the Closed Captioning system to function
improperly.
