The Point and Select Method
Point and Select is the two-step method you use to navigate
through the menu system and program guides. Once you know
how to point and select, you can explore the menus to learn
more about how your DSS
®
system works.
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 go ahead
and make the change you have indicated.
For example, the instructions in the User’s Manual might tell
you to Point to the Exit button and press MENU•SELECT.
Once you’ve got the hang of the Point and Select rule, you
can use any part of the DSS
®
system.

Don’t worry about getting stuck
inside a menu. Pressing the CLEAR
button on the remote takes you
out of the menu system and back
to the program you were
watching.
