Lock / Unlock video window
When you enter the GUIDE Plus+ system, the channel
you were watching remains visible in the video window.
The date stamp above the window lets you know the
channel, date and time.
The default setting for this window is 'locked', as
indicated by a closed padlock icon above the video
window. When locked, the video window always shows
the channel you were previously watching as you move
up and down through the listings grid.
If you prefer, you can unlock the video window so that as
you highlight different channels in the listings grid, the
current program showing on that channel is shown in
the video window.
1 Use the
channel logo.
Channel logos are displayed to the left of program titles.
2 Press the RED Action button (Unlock).
The padlock icon above the video window becomes
unlocked. It remains unlocked for the remainder of your
current TV viewing session.
If you want to lock the video window again, follow the
same procedure. The RED Action button will now act as
Lock.

The Grid Area
The Grid screen is the main TV listings screen of GUIDE
Plus+ and is the first screen that you see when you press
GUIDE. You can see TV listings for the next seven days,
starting with the current day.
When you highlight a program in the Grid, you can see
information about it in the Information Box, including
title, synopsis, channel, source, time and length. If there
is an i symbol in the Information Box, it means that there
is an extended synopsis available. Press the SHIFT and
INFO buttons to see it.
In some countries, you can also see a rating for a
particular program (mostly movies). These ratings are
provided by local partners, such as TV magazines.
From the Grid Area you can:
• View and scroll through program listings
• Read program synopsis
• Tune to a program that's currently showing
• Set a program to record
• Lock or unlock the video window.
• Access Information panels.
