PROGRAM GUIDES

USING THE GUIDE BUTTON

Each press of the GUIDE button takes you to an alternate type of program guide.

The Detail Guide

The Detail Guide shows five channels in a time-and-channel format, with program information for the highlighted program.

The Grid Guide

The Grid Guide shows seven channels in a time-and-channel format.

The SurfGuide

The SurfGuide displays a half-hour format. Press the right arrow button to extend the SurfGuide to a two-hour format.

GETTING AROUND IN THE GUIDES

This section describes how to change channels and move around the program guide.

Point to Channels with the number keys (0-9)

You can point quickly to any channel in the program guide by entering the channel number with the number keys (0-9). For example, to point to channel 228, press the numbers 2-2-8 on the remote. To point to channel 530, press 5-3-0.

Scrolling Channel By Channel

The programs that you see on the TV screen make up one section—or page—of the total program guide. You can scroll to other sections using the arrows: point to other times with the left and right arrows; point to other channels with the up and down arrows.

Scrolling Page By Page

If you want to scroll up or down through the program guide faster, press the Channel Up/Down buttons on the remote control. The highlight scrolls a page at a time.

By default, the Detail Guide appears when you press GUIDE on the remote. You can change the default guide from the Detail Guide to the Grid Guide or SurfGuide.

Select Options from the Main menu. Select Look and Feel, then set the Default Guide.
