Using the Web Browser

You can access the Internet using the Web Browser application.

Select WebBrowser on the Home screen, and then press the OK button.

NOTES

\\ If you attempt to download a file, and the file cannot be saved, an error message will appear.

Link Browsing and Pointer Browsing

The Web Browser provides two types of browsing, Pointer Browsing and Link Browsing. When you launch the browser for the first time, Pointer Browsing is active. If you are using a mouse to navigate in the Web Browser, we recommend leaving Pointer Browsing active. If you are using your remote to navigate in the Web Browser, we recommend that you replace Pointer Browsing with Link Browsing. Link Browsing moves a highlight from one link to the next in the Web Browser and is much faster than Pointer Browsing if you are using your remote.

To activate Link Browsing, follow these steps:

1. Use the buttons on your remote to

move the pointer to the Link Browser icon on the top right of the screen. The Link Browser icon is the third icon from the right.

The pointer will be in the correct position if the icon turns blue and the words “Link Browsing” appear on the screen.

2. Press the OK button. Link Browsing is activated and will remain active whenever you bring up the Web Browser.

The Control Panel at a Glance

The Control Panel, which runs across the top of the screen, has a series of icons which start a number of useful functions. The icons are described on the next page, starting with the icon on the far left of the screen.
