ONE

RULE

REMEMBER

You control and customize theTY by making changes to
various control panels in the menu system.The great
thing is, you only need to know one rule: point and select.

USING
MENU

THE
SYSTEM

THE

RULE:

POINT

AND

SELECT

You only need to know one rule to use the on-screen menus and
control panels: point and select.

WHAT

POINT

AND

SELECT?

The point and select method has two steps.
1.

Point to a menu item using the MOVE arrows on the remote.
To point up or down, pressthe up or down arrows. To point left or
right, pressthe left or right arrows.

Select a menu item by pressingMENU.SELECT.
Selecting an item tells the TV's menu systemto go ahead and
make the change or go to a place you have indicated.

For example, to select the Channel menu from the Main menu:
1.

PressMENU to bring up the Main menu.

Pojqt to Channel by pressing the down arrow until the word
Channel is highlighted.

Tip: You can also select a menu item by
entering the item number with the
number buttons on the remote. "
Press CLEAR at any time to remove all
displays from the screen and return to TV
viewing.
Many VCR user manuals refer to a
PROGRAM button. The MENUeSELECT
button on this remote works as a
PROGRAM button in VCR mode. The rest
of this manual refers to this button only as
MENU.

Press MENU to select Channel. The Channel menu comes up.

Point to Exit and press MENU to return to the Main menu.

Point to Exitand press MENU to leave the menu system and return
to TV viewing.
If you ever want to leave the menu system, press CLEAR.

Once you know how to point and select your way through the menus,
you can apply this rule in the control panels, which do the real work
in the menu system.

€l

MENUS

AND

CONTROL

PANELS

There are three parts to the menu system: menus, control panels, and
TV GUIDE Plus+ menus. But before you can use control panels or the
TV GUIDE Plus+ system, you first have to move through at least one
menu--the Main menu.

MENUS
The first menu is called the Main menu. To bring up the Main menu:
1.

Press MENU on the remote or front panel:

Menus take you to another menu or a control panel. There are two
ways to make a choice in a menu:
•

Point and select with the MOVE arrows and MENU.

•

Press a number button on the remote. For example, in the Main
menu press 3 to go straight to the Screen menu.

Exiting a menu
There are three ways to exit a menu:
•

Point to Exitand press MENU.

•

Press 0 on the remote.

•

Press CLEAR. The on-screen displays are cleared from the screen
and you are returned to TV viewing.

Feel free to explore the menu system. If
you're ever unsure where you are in the
menu system, or you're just plain tired of
exploring, press CLEAR to remove the
menus from the screen and start over
again.

CONTROL

PANELS

Control Panels do the work in the menu system: it's where you choose
a setting, enter a number, or adjust a level such as tint or brightness.
There are three kinds of control panels: sliders, choice lists, and
numeric entry.

Sliders
Sliders are used to make adjustmentsto a particular control.
For example, to adjust the TV's contrast:
1.
2.

PressMENU to bring up the Main menu.
Point to Picture Quality and press MENU. The Picture Quality
menu comes up.

Press MENU to select Basic Picture Controls.

Press the right or left arrow to adjust the indicator line. Notice that
the pictur_l, changes as you adjust the contrast.

Now that you know how the Contrast slider works, you know how all
sliders work.
You don't need to remember the names
of the control panel types. Once you've
learned how each type works, you'll be
able to use any part of the menu system.

CHOICE

LISTS

Choice lists are used to choose a particular setting from a list of
settings. The current setting in a choice list is always the highlighted
item.
For example, to indicate whether you're currently using a home
antenna or a cable TV signals:
1.

PressMENU to bring up the Main menu.

Point to Channeland press MENU. The Channel menu comes up.

Point to Signal Type and press MENU. The Signal Type choice list
comes up with the current setting highlighted. For example:

Point to the correct setting for your connection and press MENU.
As soon as you select a choice, the TV saves your change, and
you are returned to the previous menu.

Point to Exitand press MENU to return to the Main menu.

Point to Exitand press MENU to return to TV viewing.

NUMERIC

ENTRY

A numeric entry control panel is used to enter numbers or letters.
For example, to set the current time:
1.

Press MENU to bring up the Main menu.

Point to Time and press MENU.

Point to Set Time and press MENU. The Set "rime numeric entry
control panel comes up. Notice the pointer underneath the first
column.

Pre_sthe up arrow to enter a number in that column.

Press the right arrow to move to the next column, then press the
up or down arrow to enter a number.

Repeat Step 5 until you have entered the hour and minute for the
current time. Notice that when you reach the last column,
pressing the up or down arrow changes whether the time reads
AM or PM.

When you have entered the correct time, press MENU. You are
returned to the _me menu.

Point to Exit and press MENU to return to the Main menu.

Point to Exit and press MENU to return to TV viewing.

If the control panel is not set at the
current time, use the left arrow to go back
over the columns and the up arrow to
make changes.
You can also enter numbers directly by
using the number buttons.

PLUS+

MENUS

that listsTV schedules for your area, and allows your "IV direct control
of a cable box and VCR. Use of the system'smenus differs slightly from

There are three sections to a TV GUIDE Plus+ menu:
•

Unlike your TV's other menus, TV GUIDE Plus+ menus use two
methods of pointing and selecting on the same screen---one for
menus or options, and one for program information.

Press GUIDE to exit the TV GUIDE Plus+ system. The TV will
change to the channel you selected.

See Interactive Setup and Advanced Features for more information on
using the TV GUIDE Plus+ system.

TV GUIDE Plus+ screens illustrated in
this book are representationsof what
you are likely to see. Not all channels,
programs, and TV GUIDE Plus+ information depicted will be available in
your area.
Currently, program information can
include title, brief description, time
program starts, length, and the
availability of closed captioning, stereo
and additional program information.
New features and options can be
downloaded to the TV GUIDE Plus+
system, so these too are subject to
change.

General Cable Information
Antenna (or cable-TV) connections are made with either
coaxial antenna cable or twin-lead cable. Coaxial
cables are shielded so they are less susceptible to hum
or interference from adjacent cables.

The following accessories are available from most dealers
and electronics supply stores in case you want to position
your components farther apart or need additional cables.
