About the Easy Text system

The Easy Text system makes use of a memory with a high level of intelligence. By making maximum use of this intelligence it is possible that in most cases the selected page appears on the screen almost immediately. The only condition is that the teletext broadcast of the particular TV channel is switched on for at least half a minute.

The major advantages of this Easy Text system are :

A considerable reduced waiting time by predicting what you will probably select and which results in :

• a fast and direct selection of previous and following pages which are in transmission

• the precapturing of the page numbers referred to in the displayed page

• the direct selection of the pages referred to in the options line

• the creation of a habit watcher list : frequently used pages are put in a list

of preferred pages so that they are immediately available afterwards. The pages are stored in the memory when switching off teletext or when switching to standby.

The precapturing of all the subpages to be controlled by the teletext user.

Switch Teletext on and off

4 Select the TV channel for the desired teletext broadcast. 4 Press a in order to switch on the teletext.

If teletext is switched on when a menu is on the screen, the menu will automatically be removed.

5 The main index page appears on the screen together with two information

lines at the top and one option line at the bottom of the screen.

4 Press a again in order to switch off teletext. 5 The TV channel reappears.

Most TV channels broadcast information via teletext. Each channel which broadcasts teletext transmits a page with information on how to use its teletext system. Look for the teletext page with the main index (usually page 100). TV programmes are sometimes subtitled for the hard of hearing.

Depending on the TV channel, teletext is transmitted in different systems. The system utilised can be recognised by the options line at the bottom of the screen. The colours used in the options line correspond with the colour keys under the door of your remote control.

Tips

Care of the screen

Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it can damage the TV screen coating layer.

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system ? Is your TV set or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc. ? Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the outside aerial. Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable ? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation, p. 8. Are brightness and contrast out of adjustment ? Press the

M key.

Switch off your TV overnight with

A on the

front of the TV. Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated a S-VHS camera or camcorder connected to the front of your TV and another peripheral is connected to

EXT1 or EXT2 at the same time. In this case

switch off one of the other peripherals.

No picture

Is the aerial connected properly ? Are the plugs tightly connected in the aerial socket ? Is the aerial cable in good condition and does it have suitable plugs ? Are the connection facilities to a possible second TV in good condition ? If in doubt, consult your dealer. No picture means that the aerial peripheral equipment is transmitting no picture. Have you pressed the correct keys on the remote control ? Try once more. Did you press

a again after switching on

teletext ? Has the child lock been switched off ? See Features, p. 20.

Sound

Did you perhaps interrupt the sound with the

c key ? Were the internal

loudspeakers switched off by the switch on the back of your TV set ? See Extra loudspeakers, p. 37. Is the sound coming out of only one loudspeaker ? Is the balance perhaps set to one extreme ? See

SOUND

menu, p. 16. Select Spatial On in the Sound menu if there is no sound coming out of the extra loudspeakers at the back. See Spatial, p. 17.

Remote control

If your TV no longer responds to the remote control. Check whether the remote control is in the TV operation position. Press the TV key once more. Perhaps the batteries are exhausted. See Preparation, p. 4. You can still use the Local Menu keys at the front of your TV.

Have you selected the wrong menu ? Press

MENU again to exit from the menu.

Connections

Check whether your peripheral equipment is properly connected. See p. 35. Have you switched on the peripheral equipment ?

No solution

Switch your TV set off and then on again.

Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself.

Check with your dealer or call a TV technician when in doubt.

End of life directives

Your new TV contains materials which can be recycled and reused. At the end of life specialised companies can dismantle the discarded TV to concentrate the reusable materials and to minimise the amount of materials to be disposed of. Please ensure you dispose of your old TV set in accordance with any local regulations.

How to dispose of exhausted batteries ?

The Philips batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless in many countries exhausted batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please ensure you dispose of exhausted batteries according to local regulations.
