Using the teletext

Teletext offers some other useful functions:

Newsflash

When a newsflash is detected, PAT is replaced by N. Press the blue button to display the newsflash. In the case of an update,Teletext is automatically enabled and displays the new information.

To display the header and the navigation bar again, press any button

(except EXIT, the button or the volume adjustment buttons) on the remote control.

This function is cancelled when you change channels or put the set into standby.

To return to TV mode, press EXIT.

Subtitles

Some channels provide subtitles for some of their programmes through Teletext.The numbers of the relevant pages are specified on the Teletext index page.

To display the subtitles, enter the number of the relevant page. Once it is found, the subtitles appear in the TV picture.The header and the navigation bar disappear after a couple of seconds.To display them again,

press any button (except EXIT, the button or the volume adjustment buttons) on the remote control.

To return to TV mode, press EXIT.

Alarm page

In some countries (Spain, Benelux, etc.), you can set a time to display certain Teletext pages (alarm pages).

To do this, display the relevant alarm page and press the buttons to enter subpage mode. Enter the time instead of the subpage number (e.g. 1705 for 17:05) and press EXIT.The page will disappear and will appear again at the set time, as long as you do not change channels or switch off the set beforehand.

Fastext

If Fastext is available, direct access to previous and subsequent pages is replaced with coloured bars (red, green, yellow and blue) which provide links to the topics you can access by pressing the corresponding buttons on the remote control.

Press the MENU button to access these direct links, press it again to display the navigation bar.

Temporary change of the character set

You can temporarily change the character set.To do so, display the navigation bar using the MENU button, then press the OK button to display the number of the current character set in place of ???.

Scroll the list of character sets using the green button. Press the OK button to display the ??? function again.

The character set will reset to the one selected in the MANUAL INSTALLATION menu:

-when the set is turned off or put into standby,
