Using 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. Most of the
Digital text services currently available use simple navigation methods based on the following buttons:
The text 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.
