Teletext

Most TV channels broadcast information via teletext. Each channel which broadcasts teletext transmits a page with information on how to use its teletext system. Look for the teletext page with the main index (usually page 100).

TV programmes are sometimes subtitled for the hard of hearing.

Depending on the TV channel, teletext is transmitted in different systems.

The system utilised can be recognised by the options line at the bottom of the screen.

The colours used in the options line correspond with the colour keys under the door of your remote control.

About the Easy Text system

The Easy Text system makes use of a memory with a high level of intelligence. By making maximum use of this intelligence it is possible that in most cases the selected page appears on the screen almost immediately.

The only condition is that the teletext broadcast of the particular TV channel is switched on for at least half a minute.

The major advantages of this Easy Text system are :

A considerable reduced waiting time by predicting what you will probably select and which results in :

a fast and direct selection of previous and following pages which are in transmission

the precapturing of the page numbers referred to in the displayed page

the direct selection of the pages referred to in the options line

the creation of a habit watcher list : frequently used pages are put in a list

of preferred pages so that they are immediately available afterwards.

The pages are stored in the memory when switching off teletext or when switching to standby.

The precapturing of all the subpages to be controlled by the teletext user.
