- A new page request is made (e.g. CYAN, INDEX or PAGE UP/DOWN).
- CANCEL mode (A8) function is used.
- VOLUME menu is activated with the MENU button (A19).
Note: The menu at the base of the screen is always visible.

Volume and brightness control in teletext mode
VOLUME (and sound MUTE), BRIGHTNESS controls are all possible in

Watching TV while page searching
The CANCEL function can be used to make the teletext page transparent, thus
revealing the TV picture:
- To enter cancel mode, press the CANCEL ( ) button (A8) while in teletext mode. The TV
program will reappear on the screen, while only the teletext page number or the cancel icon
remains at the top and left corner of the screen.
- You can enter a new page number in this mode only by using the remote control NUMBER 0...9 buttons (A3), or with
the INDEX ( ) button (A18).
- If a page has been requested, but has not yet arrived, cancel icon will be displayed until the page arrives. Once
arrived the page number will be displayed.
- The teletext page can be made visible again by pressing the CANCEL ( ) button (A8).
- It should be noted that the TV program cannot be changed while in cancel mode.
- The CANCEL function is not available in PAT and TAT mode.
Watching TV with teletext subtitles
If the actual teletext page is a news flash or subtitle page, then most of the TV picture becomes visible. In this situation the
ZOOM format chosen in TV mode is reactivated, where possible.
This is particularly useful while watching a program with the teletext subtitles. Only formats which do not allow the full
height of the TV picture to be seen are not possible in teletext.
