I will get the proper remote, when a commercial comes on it will show the picture most of the time, then goes to blacked out area when show starts. "As you can tell I am not very familiar with caption and text modes". I get 27 which shows the guide for our local cable network and also channel 6 a guide station also. I do another channel or so, all others get blacked out with a large black square over the picture.. thanks for the help, Bruce. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Manuel" <tvman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 11:53 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Sony KV-XBR36 (Sy-ctv20-T) Channels blocked out? > Bruce the chnls you get dont have text on them thats why they work you > have the text mode setup somehow close captions dont come out like that > only a small bar on the bottom.That was a long one..Eric > > > Eric > E M Electronics > Deer Lake Nfld > Canada > tvman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Bruce Tiedeman wrote: >> This looks like it might have PIP turned on some how.
