Digital Teletext
Many digital terrestrial television channels not only broadcast pictures and sound for 
programme but also pages of information on the programmes, the weather, news and 
many other topics.Some channels are entirely given over to digital teletext and carry no 
normal TV programme at all. These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give a 
quarter-screen image in the Channel List screen. When such a channel is selected, after 
a brief pause, they will usually display the opening page of information automatically.
Other channels have digital teletext pages broadcast alongside the television 
programme and often include a reduced-size broadcast picture within digital teletext 
pages. These usually require the TEXT button to be pressed to activate the digital 
teletext pages.
In both cases, moving through the different pages of information is accomplished in a 
variety of ways, dependent on the individual broadcasters, but including use of the 
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT and OK keys to select items from on-screen menus, and the 
coloured keys to jump directly to particular pages.
You can exit any digital teletext channel by changing channels in any of the normal ways. 
You can leave the digital teletext function of a combined digital teletext /programme 
channel, to return to normal television viewing of that channel, by pressing the TEXT 
key.
Calling for the information banner or any menu on-screen stops the racier from 
displaying the digital teletext pages and they are temporarily replaced by a blank picture 
while the banner or menu is displayed. 
Digital teletext cannot be accessed when the Subtitles are enabled.

TV Format
You can change the TV picture aspect ratio by pressing "WIDE" button repeatedly on the

done),"Pan&Scan"(stretch by 4/3 in the horizontal axis, typically when coming picture is 
16:9 widescreen format) or "LetterBox"(picture stretch by 3/4 in the vertical axis, 
typically when coming picture is 16:9 widescreen format). But when you set it to "16:9", 
you can switch to "Auto"(detect the aspect from TS automatically), "FullFrame", 
"VerticalCut"(stretch by 4/3 in the vertical axis, typically when coming picture is 4:3 
standard format) or "PillarBox"(stretch by 3/4 in the horizontal axis, typically when 
coming picture is 4:3 standard format). The target is to get a non-distortion picture on 
the users

You can freeze the current picture by pressing the "PAUSE" button on the remote 
control. Press the button again to switch the current broadcast programme back on to
