    Why does my Emerson TV/VCR show misspelled captions?
    • J
      John HoltSep 3, 2025
      If your Emerson TV/VCR is showing captions that are misspelled, it may be due to watching a live broadcast where spelling errors made by the closed captioning production company pass through uncorrected. A prerecorded program will not show any misspelled words because of the normal time available for editing the captions.

    Why do video or colors fade when copying with my Emerson TV VCR Combo?
    • T
      tlewisSep 5, 2025
      If the video or color fades in and out when making a copy of a video tape with your Emerson TV VCR Combo, it is likely due to copy guard protection. You cannot copy a copyrighted video tape.

    Why is there a delay in Emerson TV VCR Combo captions?
    • L
      livingstonstevenSep 8, 2025
      If your Emerson TV/VCR will not show the text in its entirety or there is a delay of what is being said, it's common for live broadcasts to have captions delayed a few seconds. Captioning companies typically display up to 220 words per minute, and if dialogue exceeds this rate, selective editing is used to keep captions up-to-date.
