None. (You are copying a copyrighted video tape and are
experiencing copy guard protection.)
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.
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are
common for live broadcasts. 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.
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 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.
The video tape was either an illegal copy or the tape duplicating
company accidentally left out the captioning signals during the
copying process.
You are in the TEXT mode. Select CAPTION mode to CAPTION
[OFF].
