Input text by using the remote control If you have ever used the address book in a cellular phone, then you are familiar with how to use the numeric keypad on the keypad to enter text. Each time you press a button on the numeric keypad on the remote, you scroll through the characters that are available for that button. When you enter text for a search, results returned for the first character entered in the search field are those that contain that character. For example, if you enter the letter E, then the results are all items starting with the letter E and those that contain the letter E. If you enter the letter N next, then the results are all items containing the letter E and the letter N in sequence. The search narrows the results as you enter more characters. 1. Press a number to scroll through the choices that are available for that number. With each repeated press of a number, a different character appears. To backspace, press the C LEAR button on the remote. To enter a space between words, press the (0) button on the remote. 2. When you find the character you want, press the ENTER button on the remote. C ontinue until the search term is entered or until the search has narrowed the results enough so that you can select the item that you are looking for. Tip You can make your search faster by entering less information. Try entering only the last name of the artist you are looking for or only a keyword from a TV show. For example, if you are looking for "The Late Show" and enter The, the search might give you "The 5th Wheel" and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" in addition to "The Late Show." But if you enter only Late , then the search gives you fewer results, making the show easier to find. Related topics Remote commands in Media C enter © 2000-2003 Microsoft C orporation.
