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 BBC’s digital text service
may look different to ITV’s digital text. However, the digital text services currently
available use simple navigation methods based on the following buttons:
The button to load up the 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).
Selecting a dedicated digital text channel
1. Press the button on the remote control to check if you are in digital
mode. If you are watching a digital programme an Info display appears on
screen providing brief details for the current and next programme. If the
display does not appear, press the DIGITAL/
button to switch to digital
mode.
2. Press the button to remove the Info display from the TV screen then
select the programme number that is broadcasting the dedicated digital text
channel by using the numbered buttons on the remote control. If you do not
know the channel number of a dedicated digital text channel, you can use
the ‘Channel Index menu’ to find one. (Please refer to the ‘Channel index
menu’ section of this manual.)
3. Once the text page is displayed, follow the on-screen instructions to obtain
your required selection.
Note:
On some pages the TV programme may also be displayed on the text screen. On-
screen instructions will inform you how to change the displayed programme.
4. If you are instructed to press ‘OK’ or ‘Select’ when viewing the text pages,
press the OK button.
5. When you have finished viewing the text service, press the button to exit.
Selecting a text service from other digital channels
Normal text services may also be available on other digital channels. This is sometimes
indicated by a small symbol on your TV screen, superimposed on the programme you
are watching.
1. Press the V, v, B, or b buttons to select the symbol, then press the OK
button to display the chosen information.
2. Alternatively, you may be instructed to use the numbered or coloured buttons
on your remote control to display the various pages of text information. If you
are instructed to press ‘OK’ or ‘Select’ when viewing the text pages, press
the OK button.
3. Once the text information is displayed, you can access required information
by using the
V, v, B, or b buttons, the coloured buttons and/or the numbered
buttons on the remote control.
4. When you have finished viewing the text service, press the button to exit.
