. To access the channel of your choice, simply key in its numbers on your
remote control (the channel will appear in a few seconds, or press ENTER after
the numbers and it will appear right away). You can also navigate to different
channels through the Guide. Keep in mind, either way, you’ll only be able to
access those channels in your chosen DIRECTV

Use the black keys on the left side of your remote control to adjust volume up
or down (VOL) or mute the sound (MUTE). The black keys on the right side can
take you to the next channel numerically up or down (CHAN), or jump to the
previous channel you watched (PREV).
