Lock / Unlock video window
When you enter the GUIDE Plus+ system, the channel
you were watching remains visible in the video window.
The date stamp above the window lets you know the
channel, date and time.
The default setting for this window is ‘locked’, as
indicated by a closed padlock icon above the video
window. When locked, the video window always shows
the channel you were previously watching as you move
up and down through the listings grid.
If you prefer, you can unlock the video window so that as
you highlight different channels in the listings grid, that
channel is shown in the video window.
1 Highlight a channel logo.
Channel logos are displayed to the left of program titles.
2 Press the RED Action button (Unlock).
The padlock icon above the video window becomes
unlocked. It remains unlocked for the remainder of your
current TV viewing session.
If you want to lock the video window again, follow the
same procedure. The
RED Action button will now act as
Lock.

you press

seven days, starting with the current day.
When you highlight a program in the Grid, you can see
information about it in the Information Box, including
title, synopsis, channel, source, time and length. If there
is an

is an extended synopsis available. Press the INFO button
to see it.
In some countries, you can also see a rating for a particular
program (mostly movies). These ratings are provided by
local partners, such as TV magazines.
