THE MENU SYSTEM

USING THE MENU SYSTEM

To bring up the Main menu, press MENU•SELECT on the remote.

Use point and select to choose an item from the

Main menu.

To use the menu system, you need to know the Point and Select rule. Use the arrows on the remote to point to an item on the screen, and then press MENU•SELECT to select it.

EXIT AND HELP

There are Exit and Help buttons at the top of most screens. Point to Exit and press MENU•SELECT to leave that screen. Point to Help to see more information about that screen.

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 DSS® mode. Try pressing the DSS1 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.
