Accessing Teletext

Press the TEXT button (purple) on the remote control.Teletext will display the last page selected, or if you have changed channel, the index page (usually 100). If the particular programme does not provide a Teletext service, a message will appear to this effect.

To display a page, enter its 3-digit number or use the PR+/PR- buttons.The page appears after a few moments.The entered number appears:

-red if the page does not exist,

-white if the page has been found,

-green when a sub-page has also been found for this page,

-yellow when the page exists but has not been found yet.

If the current page includes subpages, the page number is displayed

in green. In this mode, pressing the buttons will allow you to step through all the available subpages.

You can select a specific subpage number by pressing 0 to enter subpage direct access mode.The display will look like this: 120 ----.

You can then enter the four digits of the sub-page number using the numeric buttons (e.g. 0003).
