How It Works: Highlighting and Selecting

The Arrow Keys and Select
Direct Entry Method
Optimus ® System 5100 Owner's Manual
You're probably thinking it's going to take a long time to learn this,
right? Well, if you'll remember one simple tip — Highlight and
Select — you'll be an expert as soon as you point your remote at
your DSS system! There are only a few buttons on your remote that
you'll need to learn, then you'll have mastered "Highlight and
Select."
On your remote there are five keys grouped together, :;< > and S ,
which allow you to quickly choose any on-screen item. You just
press the arrow keys to highlight an item you want on a screen. If
you want to move the highlight up, press the : key. To move the
highlight down, press the ; key. Each time you press a key, the
on-screen highlight moves in the direction of the arrow. Once
something is highlighted, press Sto choose it. Selecting an item tells
your receiver to go ahead and make the change you've indicated.
That's it! That's all there is to On-Screen Programming.
To make it even faster to highlight certain choices, some items on a
screen are numbered, such as Menu Items or Channels. To
highlight a numbered item, press that number on your remote's
keypad. When the number is entered, the highlight moves directly
to the entry and selects it. This is a big help if you're changing
channels, for example.
Let's say you pressed G and the on-screen Program Guide is
displayed. Now you have highlighted channel 202, but you want to
skip to Channel 740. You could press the down arrow ; and scroll
through many channels to get there, or just press 7, 4, 0 on the
keypad and the on-screen highlight would move directly to Channel
740, we refer to this helpful time-saver as "Direct Channel Entry."
