Teletext
Teletext is provided free of charge by television stations and is transmitted together with the television signal in the form of texts, graphic representations and subtitles which are visible on your screen. Information pages and dialogue lines offered by your television make it simple to use teletext. The information in the dialogue lines indicates the various functions available as well as the buttons used for these functions. Your television automatically switches to the different teletext systems (TOP, FLOF) offered by the television stations. If the aerial signal is only marginal, teletext pages may exhibit disturbances. If finetuning the television brings no improvement, have your aerial system checked.
TOP-Text Mode What is TOP-Text?
TOP-Text is an innovation which simplifies and accelerates the selection of teletext pages. TOP-Text stands for "Table Of Pages". TOP allows you to select teletext pages without knowing their page numbers. TOP does this by arranging all the pages that are transmitted by the television stations according to topics, also called blocks, as in a filing cabinet. For example, all news items are listed under "News". Further topics include the blocks "Sports", "TV Programmes" and "Services". These blocks in turn are divided into several groups; "News", for example, is divided into politics, economics, culture, etc. The individual teletext pages are found within these groups. The following illustration shows the dialogue line for a TOP teletext page.
