Teletext
BASIC OPERATION (continued)
Teletext is sent page by page. This unit is able to automatically store up to 812 pages.
Storage lasts until all pages have been received. The pages can only be accessed when they have been
stored. This can take a moment.
Fastext/TOPtext
Fastext/TOPtext is teletext with a special directory.
On the lower part of the screen there are four different coloured fields (red, green, yellow and blue). These fields lead
directly to the pages shown within. The four coloured buttons on the remote control correspond to the coloured
fields. Press the appropriate coloured button in order to go to the page represented by that particular colour field.
