Opening the Menus

You can open the menus in either of two ways:

Press MENU to open the Main Menu, then select any of the other menus from the Main Menu.

Use the matching button on the remote control. For example, to open the

Program Guide, press GUIDE.

Closing the Menus

To close a menu and return to watching a program, press the VIEW TV button, or the CANCEL button.

Note: The menu closes if you do not do anything in a menu for several minutes. Any unsaved changes you made will be lost.

Menu Options

A menu option looks like this.

Highlighting a Menu Option

Use the ARROW buttons to move the on-screen highlight to the menu option. The selected option then appears lighter than the other options.

The highlight is like the one you may have seen on a computer screen.

Compare the highlighted menu option with the non- highlighted menu option in the previous example.

Selecting a Menu Option

When you select a menu option, that option takes effect right away. You can

select a menu option in either of two ways:

If the option has a number next to it, press the same number on the remote’s NUMBER PAD. If you do this, you do not need to highlight the option first.

Move the highlight to the menu option using the ARROW buttons. Then press the SELECT button.

Lists of Choices in the Menus

When you make a choice in a list, the receiver does not apply the change until

you select the Save or OK option. If you do not want to save any changes, select the Cancel option to discard all the changes made in the menu.

There are two types of lists:

A single choice list allows you to select only one choice at a time. If you select another choice, your previous choice is deselected.

A multiple choice list allows you to select more than one choice at one time. If you select another choice, your previous choice(s) stays selected.

Using the Menus

Tip: To quickly go to any menu option with a number next to it, just press the number on the remote that matches that option number.
