The Program Guide is designed to help you select regular programs and pay-
per-view events by listing all the programs and program times that are
available to you.  (The content of the Program Guide is dependent on your
program providers, and may not be exactly like the Program Guide menu,
below.)

Using the Program Guide is easy as long as you remember the simple point-
and-select method.  Point to items on the screen by pressing the arrow keys
on the remote or front panel.  Then, press SELECT to tune to that program.

BRINGING UP THE PROGRAM GUIDE

There are two ways to bring up the Program Guide

1.  Press the GUIDE button on the remote.

2.  Press MENU to bring up the Main menu.  Then, select Program Guide
    from the Main menu.

If you select a future program, you are given program details.  If you
choose a pay-per-view event, a second screen allows you to buy the program,
find out more information, or return to the Guide.

EXITING FROM THE PROGRAM GUIDE

There are three ways to exit from the Program Guide:

    Point to the Exit button on the bottom of the Program Guide and press

viewing.  If you have selected a pay-per-view program, a display screen
allows you to purchase the selected program.

GETTING AROUND IN THE PROGRAM GUIDE

This section describes how to change channels and move around the Program
Guide.

Changing Channels with the number keys (0-9)

You can point quickly to any channel in the Program Guide by entering the
channel number with the number keys (0-9).  For example, to point to the
first listing for Channel 128, press the numbers 1-2-8 on the remote.  To
point to Channel 2, press 0-0-2.

Scrolling

The programs that you see on the TV screen make up one section - or page -
of the total Program Guide.  You can scroll to other sections using the 
arrows: point to other times with the left and right arrows; point to other
channels with the up and down arrows.

CHAN /\ \/

If you want to scroll up or down through the Program Guide faster, press 
the Channel Up/Down buttons.  The highlight block scrolls five lines - or
channels - at a time.  This is called "paging."

Selecting Special Guides

Your programming providers may make available special types of guides that
can be accessed from the main Program Guide.  To select a special guide, go
into the Program Guide and press MENU.

SORTING THE PROGRAM GUIDE

There are six on-screen choices - called "buttons" - at the bottom of the
Program Guide:  \/ (down arrow), Movies, Sports, Other, All, and Exit.  The
down arrow and the Exit button allow you to see other parts of the guide or
remove the guide from the screen.

\/ Button

The \/ button allows you to scroll down through other channels in the 
Program Guide.  Once you point to the \/ button, the Program Guide scrolls
down one channel at a time each time you press SELECT.

NOTE:  You can also scroll down the Program Guide by continuing to press
       the down arrow on the remote control or front panel.

Exit Button

The Exit button allows you to leave the Program Guide and return to regular
TV viewing.

Using the Sorting Buttons

The remaining buttons at the bottom of the Program Guide are called
"sorting buttons."  These buttons allow you to simplify the Program Guide
to show specific types of information only, such as movies, or sports.

NOTE:  Your program providers may periodically change the names and
       functions of the sorting to reflect different ways of simplifying
       the Program Guide.

Movies Button

Simplifies your Program Guide to list movies only.

After selecting Movies, point to the Theme button that appears and press
SELECT to sort the Program Guide to list specific types of movies, such
as comedies or thrillers.

Sports Button

Simplifies your Program guide to list sporting events only.

After selecting Sports, point to the Theme button that appears and press
SELECT to sort the Program Guide to highlight specific types of sports,
such as basketball or soccer.

Other Button

Allows you to choose from a list of sorting topics.  Once you have selected
a sorting topic from the list, your Program Guide will be simplified to
show only that type of program.

After selecting a topic, a Theme button may appear in the place of the
Other button.  Press SELECT to sort the Program Guide to highlight specific
types of that topic.

All Button

Resets the Program Guide to show all available channels and listings.

Themes Button

Once you have simplified your Program Guide using one of the sorting
buttons, you may be able to further sort the Program Guide to show sub-
topics ("themes").  For example, you could simplify your Program Guide to
show "baseball" under the Sports sorting button, or "comedies" under
Movies.
