Menu Overview
DST-3000 receiver menus have been designed to provide a logical and convenient way to access
system features and settings. The basic screen layout of each menu is divided into several distinct
areas. They are as follows:
●
Title, date, and time—Across the top of the screen you will see the title of the current
menu on the left-hand edge and the date and time on the right-hand edge.
●
Advisory messages—Along the bottom of the screen you will see an area that is dedi-
cated to providing a brief explanation of the currently highlighted on-screen button.
●
Places to go—Down the left-hand edge of the screen are a variety of buttons. These but-
tons usually navigate you to different screens. The top two buttons on the list are always
Done and Video . The Done button will take you back one level. The Video button will
return you to the most recently watched channel. This button is provided in case you are
using the DST-3000 receiver’s front panel and don’t have access to the remote control. If
the remote control is handy, pressing the
key is an easier way to return to your
program. The information banner will appear briefly or you can erase it quickly by press-
ing the
key again.
●
Things to do—This largest portion of the screen is dedicated to topics associated with the
current menu. Contents usually include buttons for changing settings or checking the sta-
tus of some feature. You will also see information regarding the current menu.
Some buttons contain small icons inside them, indicating their function:
The current setting will cycle through the possible settings with each press of the
key.
A list of options will be offered. This list appears in what is referred to as a “Pop-up Menu.”
A series of boxes will appear to specify numbers and/or letters for the particular feature.
