The screen below right is an example of how you could label the inputs if you connected a DVD player to VIDEO 1, Cable TV to VIDEO 2, a video recorder to ColorStream HD1, a DTV set-top box to HDMI 1, and a satellite/DSS set-top box to HDMI 2. Also note that the ColorStream HD2 input is labeled "Hidden," which means that input will be skipped over when + is pressed.
