All functions are displayed on the screen, and can be operated with a few keys. Related functions are combined in a "MENU". The function selected is highlighted in colour. The “function keys” red, yellow, green and blue are displayed along the bottom of the screen in the shape of coloured bars. These coloured bars represent different functions in the individual menues, which can be implemented by pressing the
appropriate coloured key (“multi-function key”) on the remote control. The “function keys” are only active when a brief des-
8
cription is displayed in the appropriate field.
Key descriptions and terms that appear on the OSD menu are printed bold in this operating manual.
Help:
Where available in the menues, pressing the blue function key will cause a help text to be displayed, pressing again will remove the text from the screen.
