You've purchased a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, the Complete Control Genesis. The Genesis achieves a magnificent combination of power and flexibility, simplifying and automating operation of even the most complex system. One Touch Blue Backlighting Simply press the LIGHT button to backlight the screen. [. . . ] When you want to watch something else (a DVD movie, a videotape or an HDTV broadcast), simply press the WATCH button and select the new activity. When you want to listen to the radio or to a CD, touch the LISTEN button and select what you would like to listen to. Your installer will have programmed the button you pressed to totally configure your system to watch or listen to whatever you selected. Now, the screen will change, and all of the LCD buttons will be reconfigured to give you full control of your system while watching or listening to your selection! When you press the LISTEN button, you can see the most frequently used activities you have for listening in your system. When you press the WATCH button, you can see the most frequently used activities you have for watching the sources in your system. PAGE DISPLAY At the bottom of the LCD screen, the page display informs you if there are other pages of buttons available. Press either of the PAGE buttons to see any other available choices. Page 5 GENESIS OWNERS MANUAL Using the Genesis to Control an "Activity" Once you've selected a new activity, the Genesis displays the title of the activity at the top of the screen. Below the title, the LCD displays the customized names of any special features you need for the activity. All the hard buttons of the Genesis have now changed to functions optimized for this activity. The Title displays what activity you can control. The LCD button labels describe special features for this activity. Press either of the PAGE buttons to see any other available choices. The Volume and Mute buttons always control the sound regardless of what screen is displayed. The Channel and Previous Channel buttons will change channels when you have selected an activity like Watch CABLETV or Watch SAT TV . The 4 way cursor buttons enable you to navigate on screen guides and menus with ease. The Number keypad will enter numbers for the activity you've selected. Thus, for watching Cable TV, you use the number keypad to enter channel numbers, while when listening to CD, the number keypad enters track numbers. The transport buttons (Play, Stop, Skip-, Skip+, FF, REW and Pause) operate when the selected activity requires them (for example, if you watch CABLETV with a TiVo type of DVR, these buttons will control the built-in DVR, while if you are watching a DVD, these buttons will control the DVD player).
