Viewing a digital text service
Most digital TV channels broadcast information via their text service. This digital service
includes high quality text and graphics along with advanced navigation options.
Additionally, this TV has access to dedicated text channels transmitted by the
broadcasting authorities. The appearance, content and navigation methods of all digital
text services are decided by the broadcaster. For example, the RTL digital text service
may look different to ZDF’s digital text. However, the digital text services currently
available use simple navigation methods based on the following buttons:
The GUIDE button to display digital text,
The V, v, B and b buttons (to move around the screen),
The OK button or the numbered buttons (to select items on screen),
The four coloured buttons (to access shortcuts).
