The On-Screen Keyboard
Use the on-screen keyboard to type information on your TV
screen. When you request an activity that requires typing, such
as sending an e-mail message, a text box appears on the screen.
A text box contains a vertical yellow line, which indicates
exactly where you can type in the text box. 

◆ 

You can choose whether your keyboard displays letter keys in alpha-

betical order or standard typewriter order (QWERTY). See Setup on
page 30.

◆ 

You can type on-screen only when a text box is displayed.
