Note:

On some older 4:3 TV’s these Modes may not work. If enabled, it could happen, that your TV switches away from the VCR or A/V socket. The reason is a technical problem. The Switch signal on the Scart connector is at PIN 8 using 12 Volts. Using a 16:9 Aspect Ratio switches the PIN 8 to 6 Volts, which some older 4:3 TV’s can not handle. If you are using a 4:3 TV, we suggest not to enable these modes.

Alpha: Here you can adjust the alpha value of your Teletext. Press the Navigation-Buttons left or right to adjust the alpha value.
