ON SCREEN MENU

To access the main menu, press the MENU or ENTER Button. Use the arrow buttons to maneuver around within the menu display. Press ENTER to select and save a command, or press MENU to exit (out of the menu). All audio, video, input and output settings for each input and each output mode are stored internally (in memory) so the adjustments will not have to be repeated after they are optimized.

The MAIN MENU commands and their functions are:

Save It or Lose It!

After you have optimized a setting, save it by pressing the ENTER BUTTON. It is critical another menu function, otherwise your new adjustment will be lost.

VIDEO MENU

The IN1408 allows users to manually adjust the brightness, contrast, RGB gain, color, hue, sharpness, gamma, noise filter, and comb / trap filter settings.

To access the video adjustment menu via the front panel control buttons, press the desired INPUT SELECT Button, press MENU, press the ¿ or ¾ button (if necessary) to reach the video menu, then press ENTER. Use the ¾ and ¿ buttons and the ENTER key to select the setting you wish to adjust. After selecting a setting, use the ½ and ¼ buttons to make the adjustments. Press and release a button to move by one step in either direction. Press and hold a button to move continuously through the adjustment range. Once you’ve optimized the setting for the current input, press ENTER to save.

It’s a good idea to get comfortable using these buttons to navigate through the on-screen menu system before moving on to other sections of this manual. If you get lost, enter unfamiliar territory or are afraid of making an improper selection, pressing the MENU button allows you to leave the menu system safely without making any changes. We also recommend that, unless you’re a qualified audiovisual technician, you should avoid entering the Advanced Menu

that you save the setting before proceeding to another input or
