Chapter 3: Watching TV

Using the Quick Guide

The Quick Guide is made up of a Channel Banner and a channel list. This Guide is

small and transparent so that you can continue to watch a TV program while you

are browsing the Guide. Follow these steps to use the Quick Guide.

1To display the Quick Guide, press the

QUICK button on your remote control.

The Quick Guide appears, displaying

a small Channel Banner and a

channel list showing the current

half-hour time block.

2Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to move up or down in the

channel list, or forward (and then 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 control. You can also use the number buttons on

your remote control to move the Quick Guide directly to a specific channel.

As you highlight each program listing, its information appears in the Channel

Banner.

3To see more information on a highlighted

program, press the INFO button on your

remote control.

The Full Channel Banner appears. As you

browse the Quick Guide, the Full Channel

Banner will continue to be displayed. To

return to the smaller Channel Banner,

press the INFO button again.

4To get information on a channel (rather than a program), use the arrow keys

on the remote control to highlight the channel number.

The Channel Banner displays information about the highlighted channel.

5To expand the program listings to show more time, press the right-arrow

button on your remote control.

Each time you press the right arrow, the Quick Guide expands by 30 minutes

(up to a maximum 2-hour display). To reduce the Quick Guide in 30-minute

blocks, press the left-arrow button on your remote control.

6To watch a program you see listed in the Quick Guide, use the arrow buttons

on your remote control to highlight that program, then press the button.

The Quick Guide disappears, and the program you selected fills the screen.
