About the Teletext function
Some broadcast systems ensure a Teletext service* in which the complete programmes and their data (title, date, programme position, recording start time etc.) are stored day by day. When recording a programme, the recorder automatically takes the programme name from the Teletext pages and stores it as the title name. For details, see “Auto Programme Title Labelling (TV Guide Page)” on page 71.
Note that the Teletext information will not appear on your TV screen. To view the Teletext information on your TV screen, press TV ton the remote to switch the input source to your TV (page 16).
