in Mini TV. If the program is recorded,
an icon will display the current status
- i.e., play or pause.

gram while you browse.
4. FOCUS

area of the menu. When cards are in
focus, they appear raised and high-
lighted.
5. VERTICAL LIST

rent horizontal category.
6. INFO PANEL
Depending on the item in focus, this
area either provides more informa-
tion about that item or a selection of
choices for that item.
7. CARD
Items in vertical lists are called cards.
8. CATEGORY
Items in the horizontal band are
called categories. When a category
is in focus, the name of the category
appears in the top of the focus area.
Horizontal Categories
Once you’ve pressed the MENU button to bring up the main menu, the top level
of choices will appear in a horizontal band; use the left and right arrow buttons to
browse through your choices. There are a couple of features to be aware of with the
horizontal categories:

open up in a vertical list.

deeper level of the menu.

will help you quickly recognize media as it scrolls by.

Use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll through your action menu options. Ac-
tion menus have a focus, just like the main menu. To select an option, bring it into
focus and press OK.
To close the action menu, either select close or press the left arrow button.
