Moving to the previous or next page
To go to the page above the one you are on, press the upper PR button. To go to the page below the one you
are on, press the lower PR button. This television has a page memory which stores a few pages above the one
you are reading. When you press the PR button the next page will appear almost instantly, as long as the tele-
vision has had time to store it since you last changed page.
News flash and sub-title pages
These special pages are displayed as a small box of text on the television picture. The page numbers are given
by the service provider (for example, page 150 on BBC1 Ceefax).
Fast text pages (the red, green, yellow and blue buttons)
The four coloured page headings at the bottom of the screen are associated with the displayed page. To see
the page corresponding to one of these headings, press the matching coloured button. These buttons are
coloured red, green yellow and blue in a group of four on the remote control. Each time you change the page,
while you are reading the page you just selected your television is loading a new set of associated pages. Once
this has been done any of these pages can be displayed almost instantly by pressing one of the coloured but-
tons.
Sub-Pages
Some teletext pages contain too much information to fit on the screen at once, so they are split up into sub-
pages and shown in order. The service provider usually displays a label in the top right-hand corner of the
screen to show which sub-page is being shown. For example '3/6' shows that you are looking at the third of six
pages.
