The Web Browser
13
If a page does not fit into a single screen, you can scroll it up and down, one page or one line at a
time, using the Fast Scroll and the Slow Scroll keys respectively, as mentioned before. You can
also scroll the page left and right, using 4 and 6 keys on the numeric keypad, respectively.
History
While visiting several Web pages, the Browser keeps track of the sequence of pages you’ve been
through, creating the “history” of your browsing session. You can move back and forward along
this history, using the Previous and Next keys on the remote. The history is erased when you
press the Power key on the remote control.
The Recent key will display the titles of the last nine Web pages you visited: move the pointer
on
the one you want to go back to and press Enter, or just press its number on the remote control
numeric keypad.
Fast Go To
This is a shortcut to access the Web pages stored in the Favorite

The Options Menu

operations on the page:
- Prints the current Web page, given a printer is connected
and the Internet TV Set-Top Box properly configured to use it
(see “Reference: Set-Up”.)

you can specify the word or words you are looking for, whether or
not the search should be case-sensitive and finally if you want to
search forward or backward within the page.
Reload
- Reloads the page if you interrupted the downloading, or to correct a corrupted screen
image.

Go To
Every page on the World Wide Web has an unique address, technically referred to as its URL
(Uniform Resource Locator). It usually looks something like “www.something.com/page.html”, and
may or may not be preceded by “http://”. Newspapers, magazines, books and even
advertisements nowadays, often contain the addresses of Web pages. If you know the URL of a
page you want to see, you can directly access it using the
Go To
button (same as the
Go To
key
on the remote).
