First, certain features and terminologies used in the on-screen menus require your basic understanding to fully utilize their capabilities. The DIRECTV® HD Receiver provides a power- ful feature called “Help” that describes highlighted menu item to help you understand the fea- tures. Press and hold the “HELP (?)” button to display the “Help”. Once you release the but- ton, the Help menu disappears from the screen.

Second, if you press the “HELP (?)” button while you are viewing a program with no menus on -screen, the DIRECTV HD Receiver provides a comprehensive on-screen user’s guide. It describes how to use your receiver.

This is, in fact, an on-line version of this Operating Guide.
