What is Point and Select?
Point and Select is the two-step method you use to control the
DSS
®
system.
1. Point
You point by pressing the arrow keys on the remote or front
panel. Pressing the arrow keys moves the on-screen
highlight to different items in the Program Guide and the
menu screens. Pressing an arrow once moves the highlight
one space in the direction of the arrow.
For example, to point down (that is, to move the highlight
toward the bottom of the screen), press the down arrow. To
point right, press the right arrow.
2. Select
Once you have pointed to an item on the screen, select it by
pressing the MENU•SELECT button on the remote or front
panel. Selecting an item tells the menu system to make the
change you have indicated.
For example, the instructions in the User’s Manual might tell
you to “Point to the
Help
button and press MENU•SELECT.”
Once you’ve understand the Point and Select rule, you can
use any part of the DSS
®
system, beginning with the
Program Guides.
