TOP-Text Mode
What is TOP-Text ?
TOP-Text is an innovation which simplifies and accelerates
the selection of teletext pages. TOP-Text stands for "Table Of
Pages".
TOP allows you to select teletext pages without knowing their
page numbers. TOP does this by arranging all the pages that
are transmitted by the television stations according to topics,
also called blocks, as in a filing cabinet.
For example, all news items are listed under "News". Further
topics include the blocks "Sports", "TV Programmes" and
"Services". These blocks in turn are divided into several
groups; "News", for example, is divided into politics, econo-
mics, culture, etc.
The individual teletext pages are found within these groups.
The following illustration shows the dialogue line for a TOP
teletext page.
TOP-Text takes you to the teletext page you want,
quickly and simply.

Teletext is provided free of charge by television stations and
is transmitted together with the television signal in the form
of texts, graphic representations and subtitles which are vis-
ible on your screen.
Information pages and dialogue lines offered by your tele-
vision make it simple to use teletext. The information in the
dialogue lines indicates the various functions available as well
as the buttons used for these functions.
Your television automatically switches to the different teletext
systems (TOP, FLOF) offered by the television stations.
