The Program Guide

Press the GUIDE button to display the Program Guide on your screen. Here you can get detailed program information, and programs on other channels.

Moving Around the Screen

Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the various choices in the on-screen menus and displays.

For example: Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to scroll through channels in the Program Guide and use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow buttons to scroll through the times of day in a channel.

SELECT:

The SELECT button allows you to select whatever choice you've highlighted on screen.
For example: When you find a show you want to see in the Program Guide, press the SELECT button to go to that show.

INFO:
Getting Information

Use the INFO button to get more information about whatever you're watching
For Example: When you are watching a show, you can press the INFO button to get more information about the show. This gives you information such as the channel number, the name of the show, start and end times and the time of the day.

PAGE +/-:
Scrolling Faster

If you want to scroll up and down faster, you can press the PAGE +/- button.

At any time, when you are in an on-screen menu, you can press the EXIT button to clear the screen and return to your show.

A, B & C Buttons:
Special Functions

The A, B and C buttons allow you to do different functions at different times.

You will be told when to press these buttons in your on-screen menu and what they will do.

For example: When you are checking the Program Guide, you can use these buttons as follows:

• Press A to browse by Title.
• Press B to browse by Theme.
• Press C to browse by Time.

FAV:
Finding Favorite Channels

Press the FAV button to jump through your favorite channels. You have to program your Favorite Channels in advance for this to work. (View the Custom Settings: Favorite Channels tutorial to learn how.)

The VCR Buttons:
PAUSE, REWIND, FAST-FORWARD, STOP & RECORD

Your digital cable remote is a Universal remote that can control equipment like your VCR without the hassle of separate remotes.

1. Your Time Warner Cable installer may have already programmed your remote for your VCR. If this is not set up, view the Programming Your Remote tutorial for more information.
   
   
2. Once this is set up, you can use your remote to pause, rewind, fast-forward, stop or record programs just like you're used to.

VCR/VOD Switch:

The PAUSE, REWIND, FAST-FORWARD and STOP buttons may also be used with iControl On Demand programs.

You must set your remote properly to either VCR or VOD (Video On Demand) depending on which one you want to use.

• For VCR functionality, set the VCR/VOD switch to VCR.
• For VOD Functionality, set the VCR/VOD switch to VOD.

Note: Some remotes have a switch, others a button. If your remote has neither, don't worry, you don't have to do anything. It will work automatically.
