The Only Rule:Point and Select

MENU•SELECT

What is Point and Select?

Point and Select is the two-step method you use to control the
DSS® system.

1. Point

You point by pressing the arrow keys on the remote or front
panel. Pressing the arrow keys moves the on-screen highlight
to different items in the Program Guide and the menu
screens. Pressing an arrow once moves the highlight one
space in the direction of the arrow.
For example, to point down (that is, to move the highlight
toward the bottom of the screen), press the down arrow. To
point right, press the right arrow.

2. Select

Once you have pointed to an item on the screen, select it by
pressing the MENU•SELECT button on the remote or front
panel. Selecting an item tells the menu system to go ahead
and make the change you have indicated.
For example, the instructions in the User’s Manual might tell
you to Point to the Help button and press MENU•SELECT.
Once you’ve got the hang of the Point and Select rule, you
can use any part of the DSS® system, beginning with the
Program Guide.
Don’t worry about getting stuck inside
a menu. Pressing the CLEAR button
on the remote takes you out of the
menu system and back to the
program you were watching.
