TEXT

Many digital terrestrial television channels not only 
broadcast pictures and sound for programmes but 
also pages of information on the programmes, the 
weather, news and many other topics. This digital 
teletext can be displayed by the  receiver.Some 
channels are entirely given over to digital teletext and 
carry no normal TV programme at all. 

These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give 
a quarter-screen image in the EPG or the Channel 
List screen. When such a channel is selected, after 
a brief pause, they will usually display the opening 
page of information automatically. Other channels 
have digital teletext pages broadcast alongside the 
television programme and often include a reduced-
size broadcast picture within digital teletext pages. 

These usually require the 

TEXT

 button to be pressed 

to activate the digital teletext pages.In both cases, 
moving through the different pages of information is 
accomplished in a variety of ways, dependent on the 
individual broadcasters, but including use of the “
”/“ ”/“ ”/“ ” and [OK] keys to select items from on-
screen menus, and the coloured keys to jump directly 
to particular pages.

You can exit teletext mode by pressing the 

TEXT 

button on the remote or by changing channel. Also if 

you call for the 

INFO

 bar or bring up a menu you will 

temporarily enter TV mode returning to 

TEXT

 mode 

when you cancel the menu or 

INFO

 bar.

You can exit any digital teletext channel by changing 
channel in any of the normal ways. You can leave the 
digital teletext function of a combined digital teletext/
programme channel, to return to normal television 
viewing of that channel, by pressing the 

TEXT

 key.

Calling for the information banner or any menu on-
screen stops the receiver from displaying the digital 
teletext pages and they are temporarily replaced by a 
blank picture while the banner or menu is displayed.
Digital teletext cannot be accessed when the Subtitles 
are enabled.

WIDE

TV sets are available with screens of the standard (4:3) 
format and widescreen (16:9) format. When you fi rst 
installed your receiver you specifi ed the format of the 
connected TV (this can now be altered if necessary; see 
Confi guration)Digital terrestrial television broadcasts are 
also made in both standard and widescreen formats. 
In particular, fi lms and dramas tend to be broadcast 
in widescreen format to closer emulate the cinema 
experience, but some programmes such as news 
bulletins are 4:3. To help get the most from both TV set 
and programme when a widescreen fi lm is watched on 
a standard TV, or a standard broadcast is viewed on a 
widescreen set, the receiver includes the WIDE key.
So long as the receiver has been correctly set up for 
the TV set connected, a widescreen programme will 
always be displayed correctly on a widescreen set, and 
a standard format programme will correctly fi ll the screen 
of a standard format TV.

With a widescreen TV set displaying a standard format 
programme the WIDE key switches between displaying 
the picture with black bars down the sides, and enlarging 
the picture so that it fi lls the whole width of the screen 
but the top and bottom are cropped off.With a standard 
format TV displaying a widescreen programme, the 
WIDE key switches between displaying the picture with 
black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, and fi lling 
the whole height of the screen but cropping the sides off 
according to instructions broadcast with the programme 
(called ‘pan and scan’).The effect of the WIDE key on the 
picture display is cancelled by pressing WIDE again.

Note:

Sometimes the TV will automatically try and 
compensate for an incorrect screen format, in this 
instance set the tv to the correct format whilst viewing 
the programme.
