Broadcast features

Teletext broadcasts

Teletext is an information service, organised like a magazine, which is provided by some television
stations in addition to regular television broadcasting. Your television receives special Teletext
signals broadcast by a TV station, processes the information and displays it graphically on the
screen. News, weather and sports information, stock exchange prices, programme previews and
closed captioning for the deaf are among the many services available through Teletext.
Teletext information is organised much like a magazine: according to pages and sub-pages. The
basic unit of displayed information is the page. A sub-page is one of a series of pages.
Teletext reception is controlled by using the remote control. Refer to the appropriate button
descriptions for operation of the Teletext functions.

FLOF and LIST

Depending on the TV programme, the
Teletext pages are transmitted using
different systems. Your SHARP TV is
adjusted to receive two Teletext
systems, namely FLOF and LIST,
which are automatically identified by
the receiver.
You can easily identify them by the
manner in which they appear on the
screen.

Connecting to an antenna

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of
the types of connections that are used for coaxial and feeder cables.

If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with a standard
DIN45325 plug (IEC 169-2), plug it into the antenna jack at the rear of
the set.

If your outdoor antenna uses a 300-ohm twin-lead flat feeder, connect a
300-ohm to 75-ohm impedance converter and plug it into the antenna
jack at the rear of the set.

The Incredible Mono module (I-Mono) generates two channels from one
mono input signal. When the sound of the mono input signal is processed,
the listener gets the impression that the sound is essentially a stereo
signal.

The listener gets the impression of a sound reproduced by two virtual
speakers, positioned at a larger distance between each other than
between the actual speakers. So, the stereo image is expanded by this
widening sound effect.

About VIRTUAL DOLBY SURROUND: Home theater surround systems
normally use five speakers: three across the front (L, C, R) and two
surround speakers at the sides or rear (Ls and Rs). The Virtual Dolby
Surround system processes the five audio signals and creates a
convincing surround effect, similar to that produced by a multichannel
system, using only the left and right speakers.
The general conceptual model of a virtual surround system employs two
steps to reduce the L, C, R, and S (or Ls, Rs) channel to two channels:

1. Divide the center signal equally between the left and right speakers to

achieve a phantom center image.

2. Process the S (or Ls, Rs) signal via a virtualizer before sending it to the

L, R speakers, creating a virtualized image around the listener.

NOTE:

• Left, center, right and mono surround channels will be abbreviated L, C,

R, S, respectively.

• Left surround and right surround will be abbreviated Ls and Rs,

respectively.
