Updating Naviclick (via Teletext)

Sometimes certain channels modify the organisation of their Teletext journal. In this case, unless there has been a total modification of the structure, you must update the number of the first page of Teletext allocated to the programmes guide.The list of pages is generally broadcast with the Teletext journal. Use the Teletext function of your television set to find this information. Look for the number of the page for the current day programmes and the number of the page for the following day programmes. See also the limited list on the following page.

Note: For correct operation of the Naviclick guide described on page 33, it is indispensable that a Teletext page number (for those channels broadcasting it) is indicated for each channel. The page numbers allocated to channels on this screen were set during the installation of your DVD recorder. We recommend that you do not change them.
