What is Teletext?
Teletext broadcasts pages of information and
entertainment to specially equipped TV. Your TV receives
teletext signals broadcast by a TV network, and decodes
them into graphical format for viewing. News, weather
and sports information, stock exchange prices and
programme previews are among the many services
available.
Turning Teletext on/off
Select a TV channel or external source
providing a teletext programme.
Press
m
to display the Teletext.
Many stations use the TOP operating system, while
some use FLOF (e.g., CNN). Your TV supports both
these systems. The pages are divided into topic groups
and topics. After switching on the teletext, up to 2,000
pages are stored for fast access.
If you select a programme with no teletext signal, “No
Teletext available” displays.
The same message displays during other modes if no
teletext signal is available.
