• To open the table of contents, press the MENU key, select “Go to. . .” and then “table of contents.” While there, select the text you want to read with the cursor (use the 5-way controller to move the cursor) and press ENTER.
A hint: an underlined superscript number, word, phrase, is, in most cases, a hyperlink that you can click to move to the linked text. To return to the initial position after following a hyperlink, press the BACK key.
• With the Bible open and no cursor appearing on the screen, press the 5-way controller (see the illustration below) right or left to move to the next (right) or previous (left) chapter. If you see the title of a Bible book at the top of the page, this navigation method will move to the next (right) or previous (left) book.
P.S. A handy cheat sheet of DVJ abbreviations was made by Rakel and can be found on her blog.
I copied this article so that I can have a printout of the abbreviations. When I started reading it I noticed that Deuteronomy (de) is missing from the list. These are great instructions and they are helping me learn to navagate my OSNOVA Net Bible. Thank you so much.
Thanks, Jad. Corrected.
