DIGITAL TELETEXT
Many digital terrestrial television channels not only
broadcast pictures and sound for programmes but
also pages of information on the programmes, the
weather, news and many other topics. This digital
teletext can be displayed by the receiver.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 EPG or 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-
s i z e b r o a d c a s t p i c t u r e w i t h i n d i g i t a l t e l e t e x t
pages.These usually require the [TEXT] button to be
pressed to activate the digital teletext pages.

WIDESCREEN
TV sets are available with screens of the standard
(4:3) format and widescreen (16:9) format. When
you first installed your receiver you specified the
formatof the connected TV (this can now be altered
if necessary; see Configuration)Digital terrestrial
television broadcasts are also made in both standard
and widescreen formats. In particular, films and
dramas tend to be broadcast in widescreen format
to closer emulate the cinema experience, but even
some news bulletins are widescreen. To help get the
most from both TV set and programme when a
widescreen film is watched on a standard TV, or a
standard broadcast is viewed on a widescreen set,
the receiver includes the [WIDE] key.So long as the
receiver has been correctly set up for the TV set
connected, a widescreen programme will always be
displayed correctly on a widescreen set, and a
standard format programme will correctly fill the
screen of a standard format TV.With a widescreen
TV set displaying a standard format programme the
[WIDE] key switches between displaying the picture
with black bars down the sides, and enlarging the
picture so that it fills the whole width of the screen
but the top and bottom are cropped off.With a
s t a n d a r d f o r m a t T V d i s p l a y i n g a w i d e s c r e e n
programme, the [WIDE] key switches between
displaying the picture with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen, and filling the whole height of
the screen but cropping the sides off according to
instructions broadcast with the programme (called
‘pan and scan’).The effect of the [WIDE] key on the
picture display is cancelled by pressing [WIDE]
again, changing channel or turning the receiver to
standby.
