Using On-Screen Menus

Using the Menu System

To display the Main menu, press MENU on the remote control.

To use the menu system, you need to use the remote control’s arrow buttons to highlight your on-screen choice, then use the OK button to select it. In menus that use numbered choices, you can use the remote control’s number buttons to select an item quickly.

Tip: No Menus?

If the Main menu doesn’t appear when you press MENU, the remote control might not be in SAT mode. Try pressing the SAT button on the remote, and then MENU.

On-screen Buttons and Context Help

The on-screen menu system offers you more than one way to get more information or to navigate within the system using the on-screen Go Back and Help buttons at the top of most menus.

Exiting a Screen

There are three ways to exit a menu:

•Select the on-screen Go Back button and press the OK button on the remote control.

•Press the CLEAR button on the remote control. The on-screen display clears from the screen and you return to TV viewing.

•Press the GO BACK button on the remote control. This returns the TV to its preceding display.

Tip: Using On-screen Help

Press the remote control’s INFO button at any time for more information.

Getting Help

For an overview of a displayed menu, use the remote control’s arrow and OK buttons to select the on-screen Help button (?).

For details about a highlighted menu item (in what context an on-screen button is used, for example), press the remote control’s INFO button and a popup window will tell you more.
