This section describes the user interface that is directly controlled by remote or front panel. The following operational modes are supported by this interface:
•Normal Viewing Mode (includes closed captioning)
•Tuning Mode
•Recall Display Mode
•Aspect Ratio Change Mode
•Exiting Tuning Mode
Normal Viewing Mode
Normal Viewing Mode is defined as only the video being displayed and possibly closed captioning data. When HDTV Digital Receiver is first powered on, it will be in the Normal Viewing mode.
Note: The first time the HDTV Digital Receiver is powered On, all channels except those exceeding the MPAA or TV rating limits and channels not authorized by the DIRECTV are shown.
Once the user has created a favorite channel list, the HDTV Digital Receiver will channel surf only to channels that are part of the favorite channel list. The user may tune to a channel that is not a member of the favorite channel list by entering in a channel number, explained in the Direct Tuning Method section. The user must add this channel using the menu system.
