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.
