9. Connecting headphones Headphones can be connected to the TV by way of the connecting socket underneath the fascia cover at the front. The socket will only accept headphones with a 3.5 mm (Carat/Stratos 6.3 mm) jack plug. We recommend the use of headphones with an impedance of at least 32 Ohms. Headphones of a lower impedance (down to approx.8 Ohms) will impair the sound quality. -
Page 33: Hi Text
Hi Text permits broadcasting stations to improve the display of information and graphics. In the past, there were only eight colours available; with Hi Text, there are 4096 possibilities. Furthermore, the introduction of so-called pixel graphics makes it possible to present the information pictorially. The broadcasting stations are currently in the process of adopting these innovations. - Page 34 Press this key on the remote control... 5. Page-by-page paging white 6 9 6 + 1 0 E - D 6.
