Soft, indirect room lighting is best. Viewing in a room that is too bright or too dark can cause eye strain. A comfortable viewing distance, usually six feet or more, is recommended. Do not place your television too close to the wall or in a confined area. The electronic parts need normal air circulation for reliable long life. CONNECTING THE POWER Plug the power cord into a convenient wall outlet that has standard house power (120 volts AC, 60 Hz). As a safety feature, the plug has one prong wider than the other. It will fit only one way into a standard electrical outlet. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, try turning it around. If the plug will not fit either way, the outlet is probably old and nonstandard. In that event, a new outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the plug. POLARIZED PLUG 4 WIDE PRONG

13 CLOSED CAPTION FUNCTION CAPTIONS A caption is a printed version of the dialogue or sound effects of program. Captions can be prepared for any type (example. new reports, presidential speeches, sports, drama or live programs etc.) of television program. Because most "IV programs are pre-recorded, captions can be produced in advance allowing caption editors to proofread for correct captions. It is also possible to caption by using a process called "real-time captioning". Real-time captioning is usually done by professional reporters by using a machine shorthand system and a computer which translates their shorthand into English words. Closed Captions are hidden in the TV broadcast signals, and cannot be seen without a decoder similar to that which is built into your new television set. The picture below shows a typical caption. FOLLOW ME NOTE: Some TV programs may not be broadcast with closed caption signals, and therefore your "TVwill not be able to display captions.

Common signal conditions which will normally cause caption errors are listed below: Automobile ignition noise Electric motor brush noise Weak snowy picture Multipath signal reception displaying picture ghosts or airplane flutter Poorly recorded VCRTape Poorly tuned VCR channel recording 13
