What is Teletext?
Teletext is an information service organised like a magazine,
which is provided by some TV stations in addition to regular
television broadcasting. Your LCD TV set receives special
Teletext signals broadcast by a TV station, processes the
information and displays it graphically on the screen. News,
weather and sports information, stock exchange prices,
programme reviews and closed captioning for the deaf are
among the many services available through Teletext.
■
Teletext mode
Teletext is activated with
TEXT
on the remote control and is
also closed with it. The LCD TV set can be controlled in Tele-
text mode directly by inputting commands with the remote
control and indirectly through the on-screen display (menu
system).
■
Operating instructions in Teletext mode
Only lines 0 - 23 (one transmitted Teletext page) can be
displayed on the screen simultaneously. When you turn on a
control line holding the operating instructions for TOP text or
subpages, the screen is scrolled up one line.
•
If FLOF Teletext is broadcast, a control line is transmitted as
the 24th line, which cannot be displayed on the screen, so
the screen is scrolled up one line and the control line is
displayed. To prevent constant loss of information on line 0,
the control line is turned off.
•
The FLOF system for teletext is transmitted in UK currently.
•
The TOP system for teletext is transmitted in Germany
currently.
•
If TOP Teletext is broadcast, a control line and TOP line can
be displayed on the screen. The TOP line involves the
operating instructions associated with all of the coloured
buttons if TOP text is transmitted, or the operating instruc-
tions for only
Red
and
Green
if TOP text is not being
transmitted.
•
If there are subpages, a control line holding the operating
instructions for subpages can be displayed on line 24.

Note:
•
When watching the entire Teletext screen, the total lines displayed on the screen is 24 including the first line at the
top (the header). The line at the bottom of the screen (the control line) is not displayed. Pressing the colour button
will move the page upwards. This will hide the header and display the control line. Pressing again the colour button
will return the page back to its original position in a few seconds.
•
The header is not displayed while the subpage is displayed. (See page 41)
