Using the Teletext
The Teletext service is available in many countries under a variety of names (TOP Text, Fastext, FLOF test, Videotext). It is provided as a free service by some television broadcasters. This service provides a real wealth of information, available at any time, on weather, sporting results, news, games, etc. The information is presented in pages or organised in topics specified in colour on the screen and you can access this information by simply press- ing the buttons of the same colour on the remote control.
To access the Teletext, press the (purple) text button on the remote control. Teletext opens on the last page selected, or on the index page (100) if you have changed channels or put the set into standby.
To display another page, use the pr+/pr- buttons to access the next and previous pages, or enter its number using the numeric buttons. The page/subpage number appears:
–in green when the page has not been found yet.
–in white when the page has been found.
A teletext page contains a header line with page and subpage number, and broadcaster information (date and time, channel number, etc.).
The navigation bar at the bottom of the screen displays coloured blocks with page numbers giving direct access to the corresponding pages by simply pressing the relevant buttons on the remote control. Press the menu button to access the navigation bar, which offers the following functions:
STOP: freezes the current page, preventing update and subpage display. To select this function, press the red button on the remote control. To cancel, press the red button again.
???(REVEAL): to reveal a hidden answer (for example, in games), select ??? using the green button on the remote control. To cancel, press the green button again.
ZOOM: press the yellow button once to zoom in on the top part of the screen, twice to zoom in on the bottom part of the screen, and three times to return to normal display.
PAT: press the blue button on the remote control to display Teletext in the right half of the screen, press again to return to normal display.
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.
