USING THE MENU SYSTEM

EXIT AND HELP

Exiting a Screen

There are three ways to exit a menu:

•Point to Exit and press MENU•SELECT.

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

•Press the GO BACK button on the remote. You return to the previous on-screen display or normal programming.

Using Help

All menus have a Help button. For example, selecting the Help button from the Main menu shows you information about using the Main menu screen.

The rest of the Help buttons in the menu system bring up helpful information explaining one aspect of that menu.

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

MENU•SELECT.

Context-Sensitive Help

Most of the screens contain information to help you decide what to do next. If you get stuck, look for the help text.
