To use the menu system, you need to use the remote control’s arrow buttons to
highlight your on-screen choice, then use the SELECT button to select it.
Exiting Quick Menus and Menu Screens
There are several ways to exit Quick Menus and Menu Screens:
• In full-screen menus, select the on-screen Done button and press the SELECT
button on the remote control.
• In either full-screen menus or Quick Menus, press the EXIT button on the
remote control. The EXIT button returns you to TV viewing.
• In either full-screen menus or Quick Menus, press the BACK button on the
remote control. This returns the TV to its preceding display.
Retracing Your Steps
You can use the remote's BACK button to retrace your steps and go back through
all of the menu and guide screens you accessed since the last time you entered
the menu system or guides. This trail is erased when you turn the receiver off.

If the Quick Menu doesn’t appear when you
press MENU, the remote control might not be

the remote control to the DIRECTV logo (all
the way to the left), and then press MENU.
