Using the Surf Guide

The Surf Guide is made up of a Channel Banner and a channel list. This Guide only covers part of the screen, so you can continue to watch a TV program while you are browsing the Guide.

1.To display the Surf Guide, press SURF on your remote. The Surf Guide appears, displaying a small Channel Banner and a channel list showing the current half-hour time block.

2.Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to move up or down in the channel list, or forward (and backward) in time. You can move up and down through the channel list a full page at a time by pressing the CH+ and CH- buttons on your remote.

You can also use the number buttons on your remote control to move the Surf Guide directly to a specific channel. As you highlight each program listing, its information appears in the Channel Banner.

3.To see more information on a highlighted program, press INFO on your remote (the Full Channel Banner appears).

4.To get information on a channel (rather than a program), use the arrow keys on the remote to highlight the channel number.

5.To show more time in the program listings, press the right-arrow button on your remote. Each time you press the right arrow, the Surf Guide expands by 30 minutes (up to a maximum 2-hour display). To reduce the Surf Guide in 30-minute blocks, press the left-arrow button.

6.To watch a program you see listed in the Surf Guide, highlight that program, then press SELECT.
