Using Your ATI Multimedia Center 23
Channel Surfing
You can browse through several
TV channels simultaneously,
and select channels by clicking
on “thumbnail” images
(miniature representations) of
the channels. Each thumbnail
displays the channel number,
and is regularly updated to
display the current program.
• If any channel in the selection list is a locked-out channel
(see Program Lockout on page 32), a password is required to
access it. If a password is not entered, only unlocked
channels are displayed.
• After an autoscan (see Autoscan on page 18), all detected
channels are included in the selection list. A magnifying
glass appears to the left of the lock-out icon. Click the
magnifying glass button to add or remove the channel from
the selection list.
• Most controls are disabled during Channel Surfing.
To use Channel Surfing
1 Click the Channel Surf button in the TV control
panel.
A grid of thumbnails appears over your TV display.
2 Click the thumbnail for the channel you want to preview.
The channel you clicked becomes “live”, and plays video
and audio for a few seconds.
3 To select a channel for viewing, double-click a thumbnail.
The grid of thumbnails disappears, and the selected
channel appears on your screen.
