Changing Channels

There are three basic ways to change channels while watching a program:

Press the remote control UP or DOWN ARROW buttons to get to the desired channel.

Use the remote control NUMBER PAD buttons to enter the desired channel number.

Press the GUIDE button and select a program from the Program Guide. See page 38 for more information.

Using the Menus

Menus displayed on the TV screen make using the receiver and selecting programs quick and easy. Use the menus to control the receiver and to use its features, such as setting locks, choosing a program, or creating a Favorites List.

Opening the Menus

You can open the menus in either of two ways:

Press MENU to open the Main Menu, then select any of the other menus from the Main Menu.

Use the matching button on the remote control. For example, to open the Program Guide, press GUIDE.

Closing the Menus

To close a menu and return to watching a program, press the remote control VIEW TV button, or the remote control CANCEL button.

Note The menu closes if you do not do anything for several minutes. Any unsaved changes you made will be lost.

Menu Options

A menu option looks like this.

Highlighting a Menu Option

To highlight a menu option, use the remote control ARROW buttons to move the on-screen highlight to the menu option. When you do this, the option appears lighter than the other options.

Compare the highlighted menu option with the non-highlighted menu option in the previous example.

Changing Channels

Tip: The channel you select may display one of several program information symbols. If the program is on a channel that is not part of your subscription, the channel will be in red in the Program Guide.
