18 Digital teletext (MHEG)

Available in U.K. only

Digital teletext services differ greatly from
analogue teletext. When you switch to a
Digital teletext service, the images you see
contain graphics and text which are laid out
and controlled in a manner decided by the
broadcaster. Some digital channels, which you
select like any other channel, offer dedicated
teletext services. Some digital channels also
offer information on the programme being
broadcast (a message or an instruction may
appear on the screen).

Under certain circumstances, Digital text or
interactive services may have priority over
subtitles. This can result in the subtitles not
automatically reapperaing when leaving Digital
text or interactive services on a channel
which is broadcasting subtitles. In these cases,
subtiltes can be intialised either by toggling
the

key on the remote control or by

changing channels.

To use the digital teletext, follow the

instructions on screen.

Depending on the service, you can

be asked to use the Н Ж О п (cursor

keys),

(colour keys),

(Teletext On/Off key) and

sometimes

the /

numerical

keys.

Note

If no colour key links are available

in the Digital Teletext to allow you to

exit teletext mode, use the

key

instead.

3

When you have finished watching

teletext, select a different channel with

P + / – keys or follow the on screen

instructions to return to picture.

When you switch to a digital channel
with links to a telext service, software is
downloaded in the background to enable the
teletext function. You will have to wait for a
while before you press the

key to allow

the software download to complete. If you
press the

key before the download is

complete, there will be a short delay before
the teletext screen is displayed.

While navigating the digital teletext, there is
a short delay while the page downloads. A
prompt or message is often broadcast on the
page to let you know the progress.
