Program guide and
menu features
The on-screen guides and menus provide a logical and convenient way to access
system features and settings. Every guide and menu contain these elements:
• The guide or menu title
• The day of the week, date, and time appear in the upper right corner
• Menu pane selection tabs
Use the paddle or directional arrow buttons to move the highlight from tabs
into menu panes.
• Below the date and time, small icons indicating the status of the system or
details about the currently highlighted program title may appear. These
icons also appear in the Channel Banner as shown below.
The Channel Banner appears at the top of the screen when you tune to a channel
or press the
INFO button on the remote control while viewing video. You can
select a Short or Full banner using the
PREFERENCES menu from the System

tab. The short/full banner feature only affects banners displayed when
changing channels.

Banners disappear from the screen after a few seconds, but you can remove
