Touch Pad

The diamond shaped area of the navigation keys on
the remote control - the keys for up, down, left and
right - is also a small touch pad. You can use this
touch pad to swipe through long lists or to go through
a list step by step.
How to use the touch pad...
1 - Open any kind of TV menu with a list, e.g. the
Home menu or Channel list.
2 - Use your thumb to swipe across the touch pad
and towards the direction the list must scroll. Up or
down, or left to right. If you swipe the touch pad, the
highlight will move 1 step. If you swipe and then hold
your thumb on the touch pad (no need to press), the
highlight will scroll through the list until you lift your
thumb from the touch pad.
Take some time to learn this swipe or swipe and hold
gesture. It's really helpful to go through long lists.
You cannot switch off the touch pad.
