Teletext is an information system broadcast by certain channels which can be consulted like a newspaper. 
It also offers access to subtitles for viewers with hearing problems or who are not familiar with the 
transmission language (cable networks, satellite channels, etc.
).
This is used to switch on or off teletext display. The summary appears with a list of items that can be accessed. 
Each item has a corresponding 3  digit page number. If 
channel selected does not broadcast teletext, the 
indication 100 will be displayed and the screen will remain
 
blank. Proceed to exit teletext and select another channel.
Enter the number of the page required using the 
0 to 9 
keys or  P –/+ keys. Example: page 120, enter 120. The 
number is displayed at the top left corner of the screen. 
When the page is located, the counter stops searching. 
Repeat this operation to view another page.
  If the counter 
continues to search, this means that the page is not 
transmitted. Select another numb
er.
Coloured areas are displayed at the bottom of the 
screen. The 4 colour keys are used to access the items or 
corresponding pages.

coloured keys (red, green, yellow, blue). Once set, these 
favourite pages will become the default every time teletext 
is selected
.   Press the    key to change to favourite 
  pages mode.

Troubleshooting Tips 

Glossary
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) : A digital interface 
standard created by the Digital Display Working Group 
(DDWG) to convert analog signals into digital signals to 
accommodate both analog and digital monitors.
VGA (Video Graphics Array) : a common standard 
graphics display system for PCs.
RGB signals : These are the three video signals, Red 
Green Blue, which make up the picture. Using these 
signals improves picture quality.
S-VHS signals : These are 2 separate Y/C video 
signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards. 
The luminance signals Y (black and white) and 
chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded 
separately on the tape. This provides better picture 
quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) 
where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only 
one video signal.
NICAM sound : Process by which digital sound can 
be transmitted. 
16:9 : Refers to the ratio between the length and 
height of the screen. Wide screen televisions have 
a ratio of 16/9, conventional screen TV sets have a 
ratio of 4/3.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) : 
Provides an uncompressed, all digital audio/video 
interface between the TV and any HDMI-equipped 
audio/video component, such as set-top box, DVD 
player and A/V receiver. HDMI supports enhanced or 
high-definition video plus two-channel digital audio. 
System : Television pictures are not broadcast in 
the same way in all countries. There are different 
standards: BG, DK, I, and LL’. The System setting (p. 8) 
is used to select these different standards. This is not 
to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. 
PAL is used in most countries in Europe, SECAM in 
France, Russia and most African countries. The United 
States and Japan use a different system called NTSC. 
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital-Content Protection): 
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content 
between the video source or transmitter such as a 
computer, DVD player or set-top box and the digital 
display or receiver such as a monitor, television or 
projector.

Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screen
A characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause
a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in.
Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and
changing images that fill the screen.
