What is Teletext?
Teletext is an information service organized like a magazine, which is provided by some TV stations in addition to regular television broadcasting. Your LCD TV set 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 reviews and closed captioning for the deaf are among the many services available through Teletext.
Teletext mode
Teletext is activated with TEXT on the remote control and is also closed with it. The LCD TV set can be controlled in Teletext mode directly by inputting commands with the remote control and indirectly through the on-screen display (menu system).
