If you cannot display any captions on the screen, please keep in
mind that not all broadcasters, video tapes, or laserdiscs supply
closed caption signals.

tape that is worn or deteriorated, or if you are switching :from
STILL mode or SEARCH mode to PLAY mode on a Laser Disc
player that cannot decode closed captioned signals when using
these features.
