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.

A password is required to access locked-out channels (see Channel Lockout on page 32); otherwise, only unlocked channels will be displayed.

Most controls are disabled during Channel Surfing.
