Chapter 4: Using On-Screen Menus

Tip: No Menus?

If the Quick Menu doesn’t appear when you press MENU, the remote control might not be in DIRECTV mode. Move the mode switch on the remote control to the DIRECTV logo (all the way to the left), and then press MENU.

Using the Menu System

To display the Quick Menu, press MENU on the remote control.

To use the menu system, you need to use the remote control’s arrow buttons to highlight your on-screen choice, then use the SELECT button to select it.

Exiting Quick Menus and Menu Screens

There are several ways to exit Quick Menus and Menu Screens:

•In full-screen menus, select the on-screen Done button and press the SELECT button on the remote control.

•In either full-screen menus or Quick Menus, press the EXIT button on the remote control. The EXIT button returns you to TV viewing.

•In either full-screen menus or Quick Menus, press the BACK button on the remote control. This returns the TV to its preceding display.

Retracing Your Steps

You can use the remote's BACK button to retrace your steps and go back through all of the menu and guide screens you accessed since the last time you entered the menu system or guides. This trail is erased when you turn the receiver off.

Tip: Don’t Be Afraid to Explore

Once you’ve learned the basics, feel free to poke around the menu system– exploring this system is a great way to learn!

Remember to use you remote control’s arrow and SELECT buttons to maneuver through menus.

Don’t worry about getting lost in the menus— you can press EXIT at any time to leave the menu system and return to regular system viewing. You can also use the BACK button to re-visit the menu and guide screens you accessed since the last time you entered the menu system or guides. Each press of the BACK button takes you backward one screen.
