Teletext The layout of the teletext control buttons is illustrated in 'The remote control' on page 4. The teletext service is an on-screen magazine that is carried on a television broadcast signal. Teletext information can also be carried by a signal fed into the scart or AV input of the television.

2 Press the button on the remote control. The page number at the top left of the teletext display will change to four dashes. 3 Only 4-figure sub-page numbers can be entered in sub-page mode. You can get straight back to 3-figure teletext page numbers by pressing the button again. Enter the sub-page number by pressing four of the number buttons on the remote control. As you start pressing numbers the dashes change to asterisks.
The scart and AV sockets The scart sockets at the back of the television are a convenient way of connecting audio and video (AV) signals to and from the television. As the signals are in a more basic form than the signal at the aerial socket, they are less likely to be affected by interference and other things that can reduce picture quality. This television has two scart sockets on special channels called AV1 and AV2.
Connecting other equipment How to connect a video recorder only Connect the video recorder scart socket to the AV1 scart socket on your television set. If your video recorder has two scart sockets, use the one marked TV. The television aerial should go to the video recorder, then to the television. How to connect a satellite receiver only Connect the satellite receiver scart socket to the AV1 scart socket on your television. If your satellite receiver has more than one scart socket, use the one marked TV.
