Shortcut hints
Using Your Remote Control
You already know how to use the buttons on the bottom half of the remote. The digit keys, volume,
etc. work the same way they do on any other remote. These buttons in the middle of the remote are
navigation and destination keys.
Press the GUIDE button to go to the program guide screen. Press the ACTIVE button to go to the
DIRECTV Interactive services home page. Press the LIST button to go to your Playlist of shows
you have recorded. Press EXIT to get out of any menu screen and return to live TV. Use the ARROW
buttons and SELECT button to navigate though the guide or any menu screen. Press BACK to move
back to the previous screen. (You can also use the LEFT ARROW button to step backward one column
at a time.) The MENU key takes you to the main menu where you go to access all of the features
available in your system. Press INFO on any show to see information about that show.
You can move through all of the DIRECTV user screens using
only the direction ARROW buttons and the SELECT button as
appropriate. However, the RED, GREEN, YELLOW, and BLUE
buttons on the remote are special short cuts that change
function depending on which menu screen you are looking at.
As you use the system look in the bottom right of particular
screens for hints that tell you which color button to use for
a particular short cut. You’ll see several examples in this
chapter.
