Favorite Channel” buttons…What are they?
As the name implies, you can set buttons to go directly to your favorite channels, rather than have to press the appropriate buttons on the number pad, and risk making an error. You access these FAV channel buttons by pushing the FAV button just under the LCD screen on your MX-500. You can have up to 50 FAV channel buttons that you can identify with up to 5 characters such as ABC, NBC, etc. You then just push the button for that channel and the remote sends out the channel numbers. You don’t have to remember what they are!
