Type
After choosing a category (other than A//) the Type filter button appears. The Types drop-down
menu enables you to further refine your desired programs by different types of the previously
chosen category. For example, if you chose Movies for the category, you can now choose a type of
movie such as Comedy, Drama, Sd-Fi, etc. After selecdr N one of these, the guide will be further
filtered to feature only those channels that _ be offering programs of the selected category and
type.
List
The Lists drop-down menu er_bles you to filter the guide to display only channds from the
selected list. In =addition to All Channels, you can choose one of your own defined fists. See the
"Fay. Lists" section of Chapter 6, 'Tne Hitachi Main Menu" to learn how to set your favorite
fists.
You can use the _ key located on the DSS page of the remote control to cycle through the
fists at any time on the PROGRAM GUIDE without using the drop-down menu.
Guide
For the most part, the Guides drop-down menu provides easy access m future time periods in the
guide. Simply select one of the hour offsets from the current time. After a few seconds, the
selected guide will appear.
Another type of guide that could be offered is a fist-type guide. These list-D'pe guides do not
represent channels and time, but rather a list of possible options. These guide types are very rare.
Class
One more way that you can filter your guide is through the Classesdrop-down menu. From this
menu you can select classifications such as PPV,, Subscriptn,Schedukd, etc.
By combining each of these filter options, you can quickly narrow down 200+ channels to those
that meet your current viewing interests. Once you exit to watching your program, all filters,
except for the favorite fist, wq21 reset to an unfiltered condition.
Getting Program Information
Sometimes just knowing the program title is not elaough. You want more information about a
program. With your Hitachi-brand DSS receiver that problem is
solved in more ways than one. First, you may notice that as you
highlight different programs, various icons (little pictures or labels)
appear at the top of the screen under the date and time.
just as you can see any available program description in the
Information Banner, you can also see it on the guide. Highlight the
program of interest; then press the _ key. The description
appears at the top of the screen. Press _ if you' want to
watch the program, or use the A, V, _, or _ keys to continue m
browse the guide.
Once you have found a program for which you would like more
information and options, highlight the program and press the
key. This action will display the INFORMATION screen.
