What is teletext?

Teletext broadcasts pages of information and entertainment to specially equipped TV. Your TV receives teletext signals broadcast by a TV network, and decodes them into graphical format for viewing. News, weather and sports information, stock exchange prices and programme previews are among the many services available.

2Press m to display the teletext.

•Many stations use the TOP operating system, while some use FLOF (e.g., CNN). Your TV supports both these systems. The pages are divided into topic groups and topics. After switching on the teletext, up to 2,000 pages are stored for fast access.
