Channel Surfing

You can browse through several TV channels simultaneously, and select channels by clicking on “thumbnail” images (miniature representations) of the channels. Each thumbnail displays the channel number, and is regularly updated to display the current program.

•If any channel in the selection list is a locked-out channel (see Program Lockout on page 32), a password is required to access it. If a password is not entered, only unlocked channels are displayed.

•After an autoscan (see Autoscan on page 18), all detected channels are included in the selection list. A magnifying glass appears to the left of the lock-out icon. Click the magnifying glass button to add or remove the channel from the selection list.

•Most controls are disabled during Channel Surfing.
