Text Conventions: The following conventions are used in this manual, in order to clarify the

Textual and Graphic

information and instructions provided:

Conventions

Remote control button identifiers are set in upper-case bold type; for example, “Press EXIT to return to the previous menu.”

Computer input (commands you type) and output (responses that appear on-screen) is shown in monospace (fixed-width) type; for example: “To change the aspect ratio to Letterbox, type [S4E0002.”

All keys with functional names are initial-capped, set in bold type and enclosed in angle brackets. These keys are the following: <Enter>, <Spacebar>, <Control>, <Esc> and <Tab>.

<Enter> indicates that you may press either the RETURN or ENTER key on your computer keyboard if it has both keys.

In addition to these conventions, underlining, boldface and/or italics are occasionally used to highlight important information, as in this example:

A carriage return must be used after each command or string.
