Teletext Operation
Teletext is only available on certain broadcast channels. The time taken to display the pages and sub-pages is set
by the teletext transmitter and not by the television.
Teletext is also used for Closed Captioning of television programmes. Captions are used by people who are
deaf, hearing impaired, learning English or viewing in a noisy environment.
Captions differ from foreign language subtitles in that they are coloured and positioned to indicate who is speaking,
and provide information on music and sound effects which may be crucial to the understanding of the program.
Closed captions can be found on Teletext Page 801.
TOP (Table Of Pages) mode
In TOPTEXT mode, the red button moves to the previous page number and the green button moves to the next
page number. The yellow and blue buttons correspond to different subjects. These subjects can be accessed by
Pushing the coloured button. This is the current preferred method of operation in Australia.
FLOF (Full Level One Features) mode
In FLOF mode, four differently coloured subjects are displayed at the bottom of the screen. To access more
information about one of these subjects, push the corresponding colour coded button on the remote control.
This is the current preferred method of operation in New Zealand.
List mode
In List mode, four different coloured page numbers are shown at the bottom of the screen. Each of these
numbers can be altered and stored in the TV’s memory. These coloured page numbers correspond to the colour
coded buttons on the remote control.
Please refer to page 16 for instructions on how to change modes between TOP, FLOF and List.
