Teletext is an information service, organized like a magazine, which is

provided by some television stations in addition to regular television

broadcasting. Your television receives special Teletext signals broadcast

by a TV station, processes the information and displays it graphically on

the screen. News, weather and sports information, stock exchange

prices, program previews and closed captioning for  the deaf are among

the many services available through Teletext.

Teletext information is organized much like a magazine: according to

pages and sub-pages. The basic unit of displayed information is the page.

A sub-page is one of a series of pages.

Teletext reception is controlled by using the remote control. Refer to the

appropriate button descriptions for operation of the Teletext functions.

 

Depending on the TV programme, the Teletext pages are transmitted

using different systems. Your SHARP TV is adjusted to receive 2 Teletext

systems, namely FLOF and LIST, which are automatically identified by

the receiver.

The user can easily identify them by the manner in which they appear on

the screen. .
