Today, most broadcasters in Europe,are offering teletext pages containing their programmes schedule of today.These pages can be requested by switching the TV to Teletext Guide.
An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme guide service called
NEXTVIEW.NEXTVIEW is a new way of presenting
programme schedules and offers more features than common teletext. With
NEXTVIEW it is possible to show for instance all the movies coming
tonight. Both facilities are integrated in this TV:
NEXTVIEW and Teletext Guide. If a TV
channel supports
NEXTVIEW then the TV will automatically present the
NEXTVIEW programme schedule.If the TV channel suppor ts just teletext, then
the TV will switch automatically to Teletext Guide. Both facilities are offering the same functions:record,remind and info. However in case of Teletext Guide the broadcaster is responsible for the availability of these functions.
You can search for the programmes you want to watch 24 hours per day (max.7 days). It is also possible to search for a programme by theme,e.g. sport, movie, etc. Once a programme has been selected it can be tagged, to remind you,or to record on the video recorder automatically (provided the video recorder is equipped with
NEXTVIEWLink),once, daily, weekly or series.
Teletext Guide/
NEXTVIEW also allows direct access to detailed information
about programmes if provided by the broadcaster.
The broadcaster is responsible for the content of the information. The TV is responsible for the capture of that information and for the presentation to the user.
Use of the Teletext guide/nexTView menus
& Press the GUIDE key on the remote control to display/cancel the Teletext

NEXTVIEW menu.

- if automatic pre-selection is not possible then the index page is displayed and the proper programme guide page number of the selected TV channel has to be entered with the digit keys.
The programme guide page will be stored automatically only if it satisfies Video Programming via Teletext (VPT) requirements.
Every time you press the
GUIDE key, the programme guide page of the
selected TV channel will be available if the TV channel does not support
NEXTVIEW.
The function items record,remind and info, corresponding with the coloured keys,become highlighted if the displayed programme page satisfies the Video Programming via Teletext (VPT) requirements. Select a programme item and press one of the function keys,e.g. Record or Remind. See Basic functions further on.

defined themes.
Overview
The Overview menu provides a list of programmes that are marked as reminders and those that have to be recorded. When more than one programme to be recorded has an overlap in time, these programmes will be marked by a red colour.
After the programme has been broadcast,all items set for once will be deleted from the list the following day.This menu can be used to change a reminder or programmes to be recorded.

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.
Poor Picture (in analogue mode)
Have you selected the correct TV system?
Is your TV 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 aerial.
Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation,p.11.
Are brightness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory settings in the Setup menu,p.13.
Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated an S-VHS camera or camcorder connected to the right side 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.

100 Hertz provides a superior solution to the problem of picture flicker which is particularly noticeable with larger screen sizes.In a conventional TV,the picture area is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) – a frequency which is still detectable by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100 times per second (100 Hertz).At this frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer picture which is more relaxing to the eye.
