THE ONLY RULE:

POINT AND SELECT

WHAT IS POINT AND SELECT?

Point and Select is the two-step method you use to control the DSS® system.

1. POINT

You point by pressing the arrow keys on the remote or front panel. Pressing the arrow keys moves the on-screen highlight to different items in the Program Guide and the menu screens. Pressing an arrow once moves the highlight one space in the direction of the arrow.

For example, to point down (that is, to move the highlight toward the bottom of the screen), press the down arrow. To point right, press the right arrow.

MENU•SELECT

CLEAR

ARROW KEYS

2. SELECT

Once you have pointed to an item on the screen, select it by pressing the MENU•SELECT button on the remote or front panel. Selecting an item tells the menu system to go ahead and make the change you have indicated.

For example, the instructions in the User’s Manual might tell you to Point to the Help button and press MENU•SELECT.

Once you’ve got the hang of the Point and Select rule, you can use any part of the DSS® system, beginning with the Program Guide.

Don’t worry about getting stuck inside a menu. Pressing the CLEAR button on the remote takes you out of the menu system and back to the program you were watching.
