Grid Guide Action Buttons
Action buttons will change according to where you are in the GUIDE
Plus+ Gold System. Be sure to look at the action bar before pressing the
command numbers.
When highlighting the Channel listings, the following Action buttons
are available on the bar:
•
Watch
Press 1 on the remote to place a timer in the Schedule for
the TV to turn on and tune to the program highlighted in the
Channel listing. When the TV turns on, the GUIDE Plus+ Gold System
will automatically appear with the scheduled program highlighted
and tuned in the View window.
•
Go To
Press 2 on the remote to bring up the direct dial box and
enter the number of the channel you want. This will highlight the
channel and current program in the channel listing of the Grid
Guide. Press OK to tune to the highlighted channel. If the view
window is unlocked, you can press GUIDE to tune to the channel.
•
Record
Press 3 on the remote to place a timer in the Schedule for
the VCR to record the program highlighted in the Channel listing. If
you have a cable box, changing channels on the TV will not cause
the cable box channel to change while recording.
The Program information window will display a confirmation when you
have successfully created a timer to watch or record. If you have selected
two programs to watch or record which begin at the same time or
overlap, you will receive a timer conflict message. The GUIDE Plus+ Gold
System will not schedule a conflicting timer, therefore you must choose
between the two programs.
When highlighting the Channel names (the left column on the Channel
listing), the following Action buttons are available on the bar:
GUIDE Plus+ Gold screens illustrated in
this book are representations of what
you are likely to see. Not all channels,
programs, and GUIDE Plus+ Gold
information depicted will be available in
your area.
New features and options can be
downloaded to the GUIDE Plus+ Gold
System, so these too are subject to
change.
