To Next PageTo Next PageWhy are the captions misspelled on my Emerson EWC1302?
If your Emerson TV/VCR is showing captions that are misspelled, it could be because 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.
Why are captions delayed on my Emerson TV VCR Combo?
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common for live broadcast on your Emerson TV VCR Combo. 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.
Why are captions scrambled on my Emerson EWC1302 screen?
Interference caused by buildings, power lines, thunderstorms, etc. may cause scrambled or incomplete captions to appear on your Emerson TV VCR Combo.
Why are closed captions missing on my Emerson EWC1302 TV VCR Combo?
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 on your Emerson TV VCR Combo.
Why don't prerecorded tapes show captions on my Emerson EWC1302 TV VCR Combo?
The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying process. This explains why your prerecorded video tape does not show any captions, even though the tape box mentions it being closed captioned on your Emerson TV VCR Combo.
