Loewe Concept 1700 - Current Programme Display; Picture Format Selection

Displaying the current programme.
If the station you are currently watching
also transmits teletext signals, you can
display the title of the programme and
the start-ing time of the programme on
the screen. Press button ® on the
remote control unit once. The display
remains on the screen for approx. 5
seconds.
Pressing the @ button twice in quick
succession calls up the corresponding
teletext preview page.
Note:
The time and title of a “current
programme" is taken from preview
pages 301 ff. If a station, e.g. SATI,
transmits these preview pages as “sub-
pages‘ incorrect displays may occur.
if the ® button is pressed whilst
viewing a station which does not
transmit teletext signals, a message “No
text“ or “Searching“ will be displayed.
The message can be cleared from the .
screen by pressing the © button. The
&) button has no function with stations
using the FLOF teletext system.
Picture format: 4:3 or 16:9.
Television stations with the PAL, SECAM,
and NTSC standards transmit images
with the 4:3 format. Wide-screen or
Cinemascope motion pictures are
viewed in the 16:9 picture format.
Transmission of the 16:9 picture format
is feasible with the D2-MAC television
standard, which is broadcast by satellite
or on the 12 MHz hyperband of some
cable systems. Your television set is
equipped with a new picture tube of
16:9 format. Hence, wide screen motion
pictures can be viewed without the
annoying black strips known from
picture tubes of 4:3 format. The set can
display both picture formats.
Selection of picture format.
The “picture functions“ key, ©, is
pressed five times. The format already
set, for instance, 4:3/16:9, 16:9!, 4:3),
cinema, or zoom, is indicated on the
viewing screen. As long as the fade-in
remains visible, the picture format can
be changed by pressing the
keys.
If, for instance, “4:3/16:9" has
been selected, the set automatically
switches to the correct picture format,
for example, 16:9 or 4:3, when a
television programme is being received
in D2-MAC standard.
If stations with the PAL, SECAM,
or NTSC standard broadcast motion
pictures with wide screen format, the
best choice is “zoom while “cinema‘ is
best for Cinemascope movies. In this
manner, movies can be viewed with a
nearly full screen.
