The joystick is the most versatile (and most used) remote control feature. Using
only the joystick, you can perform virtually all on-screen functions including:
• Selecting a highlighted screen menu item.
• Moving the screen highlight (or cursor) up, down, left and right.
• Jumping directly to the OneLine™ Guide.
• Changing channels using the OneLine Guide.
Use the joystick to move up, down, left, or right through the on-screen displays.
This icon appears throughout this manual to instruct you to use the joystick
to navigate through on-screen menus and guides.

joystick in the center to activate or choose a highlighted menu option.
