Doubling character height
Repeatedly pressing the HEIGHT button
order:
Upper half of the page (UP) > Lower half of the page (DOWN) > Return to normal height.
If the page is in UP or DOWN mode, then normal size is automatically set if :

- CANCEL mode (A8) function is used.
- VOLUME menu is activated the with the MENU button (A19).
Note : The menu at the base of the screen is always visible
Volume and brightness control in teletext mode
VOLUME ( and sound MUTE), BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST controls are all possible in teletext. The BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST
controls are dedicated to the teletext display.
- Access the VOLUME control by pressing the MENU button (A19) in teletext mode. A barograph will appear in the lower part of the screen
(as in TV mode). If MUTE is active a mute icon is also shown.
- A second press on the MENU button (A19) will access the BRIGHTNESS control, and a third press the CONTRAST control.
- The active bargraph will timeout after 3-4 seconds (as in TV mode VOLUME control) or by pressing on the MENU button (A19) a fourth
time (after CONTRAST control)
- Each control can be adjusted by using the remote control CURSOR RIGHT (A20) / LEFT (A7) buttons.
- Mute can always be activated by pressing the SOUND MUTE button (A2).
- Any change to the VOLUME level will cancel the SOUND MUTE.
The CANCEL function can be used to make the teletext page transparent, thus revealing
the TV picture:
- To enter cancel mode, press the CANCEL
program will reappear on the screen, while only the teletext page number remains at the
top and left corner of the screen.
- You can enter a new page number in this mode only by using the remote control
NUMBER 0...9 buttons (A3), or with the INDEX
- If a page has been requested, but has not yet arrived, "???" flashing characters will be
displayed until the page arrives. Otherwise, the same characters will be displayed
without flashing until the next arrival of the page in the transmission cycle. Once arrived
the page number will be displayed.
- The teletext page can be made visible again by pressing the CANCEL
- It should be noted that the TV program cannot be changed while in cancel mode.
If the actual teletext page is a news flash or subtitle page, then most of the TV picture becomes visible. In this situation the ZOOM
format chosen in TV mode is reactivated, where possible.
This is particularly useful while watching a program with the teletext subtitles. Only formats which do not allow the full height of the
TV picture to be seen are not possible in teletext mode, as these would not allow all teletext lines to be displayed.
Therefore only the formats ZOOM 14:9 AND ZOOM 16:9 (available with wide screen TV models) cannot be preserved with teletext
subtitles. In this situation the default format FULL SCREEN (equal to 16:9) will be used.
For FAVOURITE format, FULL SCREEN will also be used only if the vertical size chosen is greater than 100%.
Note : A 16:9 or 14:9 format can be realised by keeping a 100% vertical size, but reducing the horizontal size, thus allowing teletext
subtitles to be used over a picture that has no distortion.
