ABSTRACT:
A method for selecting menus in a television receiver is provided. In the method, a controller determines if a menu selection command is input by a user to enter a menu selection mode. If the menu selection command is input, the menu selection mode is entered, and a main object is displayed on a screen of the television receiver. Then, the controller determines if a cursor is positioned within a main object region of the main object when the main object is displayed on the screen and determines if a sub-object is associated with the selected main object when the cursor is within the main object region. If the selected main object has a sub-object, the selected main object is erased from the screen, and the sub-object is displayed. Then, the controller determines if the cursor is positioned within a sub-object region of the sub-object when the sub-object is displayed on the screen. When the cursor is positioned within the sub-object region, a sub-object operation is executed. On the other hand, when no sub-object is associated with the selected main object, a main object operation corresponding to the selected main object is executed.
