EasyLink features are based on the “one touch operation” approach. This means that
a sequence of actions are executed at the same time in both the television and the
video cassette recorder, provided both are fitted with the EasyLink function and
connected with the eurocable supplied with your video recorder.

Today, most broadcasters in Europe, are offering teletext pages containing
their programme schedule of today. These pages can be requested by switching
the TV to Teletext Programme Guide.
An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme
guide service called NEXTVIEW. NEXTVIEW is a new way of presenting
programme schedules and offers more features than common teletext.
With NEXTVIEW it is possible to show for instance all the movies coming
tonight.
Both facilities are integrated in this TV: NEXTVIEW and Teletext Programme
Guide. If a TV channel supports NEXTVIEW then the TV will automatically
present the NEXTVIEW programme schedule. If the TV channel supports just
teletext, then the TV will switch automatically to Teletext Programme Guide.
Both facilities are offering the same functions: record, remind and info.
However in case of Teletext Programme Guide the broadcaster is responsible
if these functions are possible.
You can search for the programmes you want to watch 24 hours per day. It is
also possible to search for a programme by theme, e.g. sport, movie, etc.
Once a programme has been selected it can be tagged, to remind you, or to
record on the video recorder automatically (provided the video recorder is
equipped with NEXTVIEWLink), once, daily, weekly or series.
Teletext Programme Guide / NEXTVIEW also allows direct access to detailed
information about programmes if provided by the broadcaster.
The broadcaster is responsible for the contents of the information.
The TV is responsible for the capture of that information and for the presentation to
the user.
NEXTVIEW / Teletext Programme Guide
Teletext channel guide
TV channels which broadcast teletext also transmit a page with the
programme guide of the day. For each selected TV channel the programme
guide page can be selected with the ækey:
- automatically if the selected TV channel supports services like PDC
(Programme Delivery Control) or MIP (Magazine Inventory Page).
- if automatic pre-selection is not possible then the index page is displayed
and the proper programme guide page number of the selected TV channel
has to be entered with the digit keys.
The programme guide page will be stored automatically.
Every time you press the ækey, the programme guide page of the
selected TV channel will be available if the TV channel does not support
NEXTVIEW.
Press the cursor down to select the displayed main index programme guide
page number.
Press the cursor left/right to run through the subpages.
The function items record, remind or info, corresponding with the coloured
keys, become highlighted if the displayed programme page satisfies the Video
Programming via Teletext (VPT) requirements. Select a programme item and
press one of the function keys, e.g. Record or Remind. See Basic functions
further on.
The Info item is enabled if the selected programme contains a page number
with an optional subcode referring to a page with more info about the
programme.
