The channel banner appears at the top of the screen when you change channels or press 
INFO, THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN, or the RIGHT arrow during a program. It 
disappears after a few seconds. You can set a preference (see page 96), to decide how long 
the banner stays on the screen when you change channels. Press EXIT (or INFO) to hide 
the channel banner.

Use the RIGHT arrow to cycle through three versions of the channel banner: small (with 
only the current time and channel), medium (adds the title, running time, and ratings), and 
large (with a program description and icons for useful shortcuts). The size of the banner 
you last viewed becomes the default size when you change channels.

. The large channel banner has a number of selectable icons. 

To select an icon, use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight it, then press SELECT.

Select to start a recording. This icon is bright when the DVR is recording a 
program, dim when it is not recording.

Select to display what’s on the other tuner (for Dual Tuner). This icon is bright if 
the program on the other tuner is being recorded. It is dim if the program on the 
other tuner is not being recorded.

Alternate audio usually changes the language of the program. Sometimes there are 
other types of alternate audio. If an alternate audio track is available, this icon will 
be bright, otherwise it will be dim. Highlight this icon and press SELECT to choose 
an alternate audio track. 

Select to display Parental Controls (see page 90). If Parental Controls are off, the 
padlock appears unlocked and dim. If they are on, it appears locked and bright. If 
they are temporarily turned off, it appears unlocked and bright.

If this icon is bright, you have new messages. Select to display Messages & Setup.
