indicate which directions to choose. In this way
users can navigate through the menu hierarchy to
the control they wish to adjust.
When menu items are more numerous than can
fit comfortably on the TV display, only a portion
are shown.
Those omitted are indicated by a cluster of balls
which indicates that there are ‘more’below.
