6. Setup DirecTune*  
The device you use to change channels (typically your TV, cable box, or satellite  
box) is referred to as your DirecTune* device. DirecTune lets you jump directly to a  
TV channel from within the TV Listings. Your remote needs to know what device is  
responsible for changing channels, such as your TV, cable box, satellite box or  
VCR. It also needs to know the procedure for changing channels (for instance,  
whether or not you have to press an enter” button after selecting a channel).  
Please identify the DirecTune device in Setup DirecTune when the screen prompts  
you. Only one device can be set up as the DirecTune device. Therefore, you  
should set up all your devices prior to setting up a DirecTune device. You may  
change the DirecTune device settings at anytime.  
Determining DirecTune* Device  
Which device should you set up as your DirecTune device? To assist you in  
determining which device should be set up as your DirecTune device, see below.  
The TV is recommended as the DirecTune device in the following  
configurations:  
TV or TV + VCR or TV + Cable-without-a-box or  
TV + VCR + Cable-without-a-box  
Cable-without-a-box indicates that your cable line is connected to your TV or  
VCR and you use your TV to tune channels.  
The Cable box is recommended as the DirecTune device in the following  
configurations:  
Cable box + TV or Cable box + TV + VCR  
The Satellite receiver is recommended as the DirecTune device in the  
following configurations:  
Satellite receiver + TV or Satellite receiver + TV + VCR

5. Channel Key Settings  
Channel Key Settings allow you to operate the Channel keys in two different ways.  
(1) The default setting in your remote is for the CHAN + / CHAN - key to change  
channels independent of the Program Listings you selected at the website.  
Therefore, when you press Channel keys your TV will tune to all the channels you  
get from your Service Provider (i.e. antenna, cable or satellite)  
(2) You may choose to setup the CHAN + / CHAN - key to match your Program  
Listings lineup. In that case, when you press the Channel keys your TV will tune  
only to those channels in your Program Listings lineup. This gives you the  
flexibility to customize the channels however you like.  
To set CHAN + / CHAN -key to match Program Listings, perform the following  
steps:  
Press the MENU key and SELECT Main Menu > Remote Settings >  
Advanced Settings > Channel Key Settings

6. Add or Clear Channel Lock  
Add or Clear Channel Lock in your GUIDE Remote allows you to set the CHAN + /  
CHAN - and LAST keys to control the device of your choice. For example, while  
you are using the remote to control your TV, the CHAN + / CHAN - and LAST keys  
could operate your cable box instead. By default, when you first set up your  
devices, each is set to control its own channel functions.  
To Add or Clear Channel Lock for a device, perform the following steps:  
In the following example, we will be setting up Channel Lock so that CHAN + /  
CHAN - and LAST on a Toshiba TV will actually operate a Scientific Atlanta cable  
box instead. In other words, when you are controlling the Toshiba TV and you press  
the CHAN + / CHAN - and LAST keys, you will be changing the channels using the  
Scientific Atlanta cable box.

FAQ  
What is my DirecTune* device?

Why are there no program titles in the Program Listings?  
The GUIDE Remote* stores up to seven days of TV Listings. If you have not  
downloaded the listings from the Website in more than seven days, the program  
titles will be blank. The program titles will appear again in your remote after you  
log in at our Website and sync your remote.

settings, press the MENU key and SELECT Remote Settings >

FAQ 63

FAQ  
Why cant I get seven days of TV Listings in my remote?  
Some digital cable and satellite systems have hundreds of channels and unless  
you remove some from your listings at the Website, you might not be able to  
download a full seven days of listings into your remote. In the Settings section  
at the Website, reduce the number of channels in your listings to increase the  
number of days you can download into your remote.  
If you attempt to download Program Descriptions into your remote, and have a  
large channel lineup (generally greater than 65 channels), you may receive  
fewer than a full seven days of TV Listings. Try turning off the Program  
Descriptions option in the Settings section at the website and sync your  
remote again.  
Why are there no Program Descriptions for my Program Listings?  
If Program Descriptions do not appear in your remote, go to the Settings  
section at the Website, turn on the option and sync your remote. Program  
Descriptions will then appear in your remote.  
Where can I review my requested Interactivity Offers and promos?  
Log in to our Website and sync your remote. Then visit the Links in the  
Members section.  
How do I go back to the Channel Screen to see the Interactivity Opportunities?  
First, you must have DirecTune* setup in your remote. Then, click the EXIT  
key to access the Channel screen.  
How do I find out what my current DirecTune device is?  
Go to View DirecTune Device by pressing the MENU key and SELECT  
Remote Settings > Advanced Settings > View DirecTune Device.  
How do I turn off the screen?  
The screen on the remote is always on so that you have instant access to  
the TV Listings, Interactivity Offers, and special Promo Offers.  
Why is my TV tuning channels too slowly?  
You may be able to adjust the DirecTune speed to change channels faster with  
your remote. (see Adjust DirecTune Speed on page 53)  
Why are some of my original remote functions not listed in the Extended  
Function Screen?  
There is a possibility that more than one code will work when setting up your  
device. After you have completed setup, if you cannot find a function in the  
Extended Function Screens, remove the device and try setting up the device  
again using a different code.
