Selecting a highlighted screen menu item.

Moving the screen highlight (or cursor) up, down, left and right.

Jumping directly to the OneLineGuide.

Changing channels using the OneLine Guide.

Use the joystick to move up, down, left, or right through the on-screen displays. This S icon appears throughout this manual to instruct you to use the joystick to navigate through on-screen menus and guides. SELECT means press the joystick in the center to activate or choose a highlighted menu option.

Press the joystick up or down to display the OneLine guide while you are watching a program. When the OneLine guide appears, press the joystick up or down to step to the next higher- or lower-numbered channel.

Press the INFO button to display a brief description about the program you are viewing. For more details, press it again to display the Information Banner. The INFO button provides scheduling information (and pay per view purchase information) about the program highlighted in the program guide. See Chapter 4

Using program guides, on page 27 for more information.
