My TV will not show the text 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 videotape does not show any captions. The tape box mentions it being closed captioned. My TV screen shows a black box on certain channels. You are watching a live broadcast and spelling errors made by the closed captioning production company may pass through uncorrect- ed. 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 dialogue are common for live broadcasts. Most captioning production compa- nies 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 the actual program so that additional advertising time can be given. Since the decoder cannot read the compressed information, captions will be lost. The videotape was either an illegal copying or the tape duplicating company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the copying process. You are in the TEXT mode.
