Perhaps arrow right should also lead to the submenu? The ">" is a sign of a submenu. It appears in the first line because that is the header, and the entire menu is a "submenu" of that. > And finally: I did not find a way from the sub menu back to the > main menu besides hitting arrow right (which goes to the next > main menu) and then arrow left.
