Viewing Teletext

You can enjoy news, weather forecasts and subtitles, etc. (depending on the broadcaster)

- The availability of teletext services for a programme is indicated by [TEXT] in the information banner.

Ireland

Depending on the broadcaster, the digital teletext (MHEG) services may not be available. In this case, the operation of the teletext services may be the same as the analogue teletext services (p. 29).

Digital teletext (MHEG)

Digital teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.

When you switch to a digital teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster.

1 Select freesat or DVB → (p. 19) TV • freesat and DVB programmes have digital teletext services (MHEG). 2 Switch to Teletext Example : 17:51 28 Feb To return to TV ■ How to operate services In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all manufacturers of digital equipment, some on screen commands may not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons. • Select, go • Symbol :◀◀◀◀ • Back key Back/RETURN • Coloured characters Coloured button • When options with numbers are displayed

Note

• As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download is complete.
• While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example "Loading") to let you know that this is happening.

Analogue teletext

Analogue teletext services are the text information provided by the broadcasters.

The features may vary depending on the broadcasters.

What is FASTEXT mode?

In FASTEXT mode, four differently coloured subjects are situated at the bottom of the screen. To access more information about one of these subjects, press the appropriately coloured button. This facility enables fast access to information on the subjects shown.

Auto mode

Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection or Justify to fill the screen). This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.

Letterbox detection :

If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen.

If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

Regular care:

Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.

For stubborn dirt:

Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

Caution

• Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.
  Take care not to subject the TV's surfaces to water or detergent more than requires. A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.
  • Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
• The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
• Do not allow the cabinet or pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.

Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
