Teletext
Most TV channels broadcast information via teletext.
Each channel which broadcasts teletext transmits a page with information on how to use its teletext system. Look for the teletext page with the main index (usually p. 100).
Depending on the TV channel, teletext is transmitted in different systems: WST, FLOF or TOP.
The colours used in the options lines at the bottom right of the screen correspond with the colour keys of your remote control.
About Easy Text
Easy Text considerably reduces the waiting time (on condition that the teletext broadcast of the particular TV channel is received for at least half a minute) by :
• a direct selection of previous and following pages which are in transmission and of the pages referred to in the options lines
• a habit watcher list: frequently used pages are put automatically in a list of preferred pages, so that they are immediately available
• the precapturing of the page numbers referred to in the displayed page
• the precapturing of all the subpages.
Switch Teletext on and off
Press b to switch the teletext on or off.
The main index page appears on the screen.
Note: Dual Screen is disabled in Teletext mode.
Select a Teletext page
With the digit keys
Enter the desired page number with the digit keys.
The page counter seeks the page or the page appears immediately when the page number has been stored in the memory.
A message appears when you have entered a non existent or incorrect page number. Page numbers beginning with 0 or 9 do not exist. Choose another number.
With the option lines
Select with the colour keys, corresponding to the coloured options at the bottom right of the screen, the desired subject.
Quickly run through the teletext pages
Press the cursor left/right or the channel +/key to run through the previous or the following pages.

Tips
Poor Picture
• Have you selected the correct TV system?
• Is your monitor or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc. ?
• Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images.
Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the outside aerial.
• Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation, p. 6.
• Are brightness and contrast out of adjustment ? Adjust the picture settings, see p. 13.
• Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated a S-VHS camera or camcorder connected to the front side of your receiver and another peripheral is connected to EXT1 or
EXT2 at the same time. In this case switch off one of the other peripherals.
No picture
• Are the supplied cables connected properly? (The aerial cable to the monitor, the other aerial to your VCR, the VGA cables to the display, the power cables.)
• Has the child lock (p. 15) been switched off ?
• Is your PC switched on?
• Do you see a black screen and the indicator in front of the monitor lights up green, this means that the display mode is not supported. Switch your
VGA-source to a correct mode.
• In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer.
Control of peripheral equipment
The infrared signals of the screen may influence the reception sensibility of other peripherals. Solution: replace the batteries of the remote control or change position of other equipment. E.g. keep away a wireless headphone from within a radius of 1.5 m.
Remote control
• If your monitor no longer responds to the remote control, the batteries may be exhausted.
• You can still use the keys at the front of your receiver.
Menu
Have you selected the wrong menu ?
Press the same key again to exit from the menu.
No stable or not synchronised VGA picture
Check if you have selected the correct
VGA mode in your PC (640x480, 640x400,
640x350, 856x480, 800x450, MAC II,
SVGA, XGA).
If your problem is not solved:
Switch both your monitor and your receiver off and then on again.
Never attempt to repair a defective monitor or receiver yourself.
Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.

Glossary
100 Hz
100 Hertz provides a superior solution to the problem of picture flicker which is particularly noticeable with larger screen sizes.
In a conventional TV, the picture area is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz)
– a frequency which is still detectable by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100 times per second (100 Hertz). At this frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer picture which is more relaxing to the eye.
Automatic Channel Installation (ACI)
Automatically installs all TV channels in the same order as offered by your cable company, provided of course that the data is transmitted. It also automatically includes programme number and programme name.
With ACI, channel installation is fully automatic, simple and fast.
Digital Video
Description applied to any equipment that uses digital techniques to reproduce pictures.
DNR
Dynamic Noise Reduction.
By encoding signals digitally in 100 Hz sets with Digital Scan it is possible to clean up picture noise. This is especially beneficial in poor signal areas and when viewing poor quality video tapes.
