Remote Key Command Functions
Note: The table below illustrates the menu structure for the
Destination II PC/TV while in REAR COMPUTER SVGA mode.
As with the Remote Key Command Functions, menus are
operated through the NUMBER keypad. Generally speaking,
keys 4 and 6 adjust menu options, key 8 cycles through
menus and key 5 cancels all operations no matter what
menu you are adjusting. Although menus are available in
the Advanced mode, adjustments in this mode should only
be made by a qualified electronics/service technician.
