The Only Rule: Point and Select
The Only Rule: Point and Select
You only need to know one rule to use the DSS system: Point and
Select. Once you master this rule, you can use any part of the Program
Guide or the menu system.
What is Point and Select?
The Point and Select method has two steps.
1.
Point
You point by pressing the arrow keys on the remote or front
panel. Pressing the arrows keys (referred to as the “arrows”)
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
towards 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 SELECT/DISPLAY button on the remote or front
panel (called SELECT in this manual). 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 Help button and press SELECT.
Now that you know how to use Point and Select, you can use any part
of the DSS system, beginning with the Program Guide.
