Using Text Fields

USING TEXT FIELDS

When you use features on the receiver, you might be required to enter information, such as the name of a movie when using Search, into areas known as text fields. Your receiver has two basic ways to enter the information:

Virtual Keyboard

Remote Control NUMBER PAD

Using the Virtual Keyboard

Use the virtual keyboard letters to type the information. Use the LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN ARROWS to navigate around the keyboard. Select the characters you want.

Using the Number Pad

Use the letters above the NUMBER PAD on the remote control— just like on a telephone—while the highlight is in the field. For example, when looking for the channel and times to watch Rudy Friml Presents, you press 7 three times for an R, 8 two times for a U, 3 one time for a D, and 9 three times for a Y to spell the word “Rudy.”

While in the Text Field

When the cursor is in the text field:

Press the LEFT ARROW to delete characters.

Press FORMAT/* to backspace without deleting characters.

Press 0 to enter a blank space, such as between words.

Use the RIGHT ARROW to forward space without deleting characters.
