Ꭽ What is Teletext?
Teletext is an information service, organized like a magazine, which is provided
by some television stations in addition to regular television broadcasting. Your
television receives special Teletext signals broadcast by a TV station, processes
the information and displays it graphically on the screen. News, weather and
sports information, stock exchange prices, program previews and closed captio-
ning for the deaf are among the many services available through Teletext.
Teletext information is organized much like a magazine: according to pages and
sub-pages. The basic unit of displayed information is the page. A sub-page is
one of a series of pages.
Teletext reception is controlled by using the remote control. Refer to the appro-
priate button descriptions for operation of the Teletext functions.

rent system. Your SHARP TV is adjusted to receive two Teletext systems, name-

easily identify them by the manner in which they appear on the screen.
