What is Teletext?

Standard teletext

Teletext broadcasts pages of information and entertainment to specially equipped TVs. 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.

Turning Teletext on/off

2Press mto 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.

Select on the screen and press OK, the screen switches as shown below.

If you select a programme with no teletext signal, “No Teletext available” is displayed.

The same message is displayed during other modes if no teletext signal is available.
