About the Teletext function
Some broadcasts systems ensure a Teletext service* in which the
complete programmes and their data (title, date, channel,
recording start time etc.) are stored day by day. When recording
a programme, the recorder automatically takes the programme
name from the Teletext pages and stores it as the title name. For
details, see “TV Guide Page” (page 79).
Note that the Teletext information will not appear on your TV
screen. To view the Teletext information on your TV screen,
press TV/DVD on the remote to switch the input source to your
TV.
