Teletext

Teletext, also known as Videotext, is an informa-
tion system broadcast by some TV-channels. It
can be consulted like an interactive newspaper
for the latest news, sports and entertainment.
Harman Kardon Digital Lounge teletext also
offers access to subtitles for hearing impaired
viewers. Colored buttons on the remote control
give direct access to various pages, depending
on the TV-channel.
To activate the teletext function, press the
Teletext Button on the remote control. A
first press will display the teletext instead of the
TV channel you were watching. A second press
will show both the TV channel you were watch-
ing to and the teletext next to each other.
Pressing the Teletext Button
de-activate the teletext function. It is also possi-
ble to have the teletext page shown with the TV
image in the background. In order to do so,
press the Mix Button when Teletext has
been activated.
The first page of the teletext that will be dis-
played is always page 100, an index page used
by all channels. Other pages can be searched for
by pressing the page number on the top of the
screen with the help of the Numeric Keys
of the remote control. At all times, the index
page can be re-called by pressing the PG 100
Button .
Once you have teletext on your screen, you will
see that there are 4 colored squares on the bot-
tom of the screen, each with a specific teletext
page number in it. These colored buttons corre-
spond to the colored buttons
on the remote control. Pressing the correspon-
ding colored button on the remote control will
select the page highlighted in the square. Note
that the shown pages are dynamic, and change
with each button press.
Some teletext pages contain additional sub
pages. These sub pages can be selected directly
by pressing the SUB PG Button
remote control. Each button press will increment
the sub page number to enable direct selection
of the sub pages.
Note that as long as Teletext is activated no
other source can be selected on the screen.
