Navigating the Setup Menu with the Remote Handset

You’ll need to make some selections so that the D 200 performs correctly in your home theater system. These Menu settings are selected by using the D 200’s remote control handset. If you have not already done so, open the battery compartment cover and install the batteries, making sure their directions match the markings on the remote.

Notes:

-You don’t need to make all of these selections right away.

-Your D 200 must be connected to a TV to use the setup menu because its front panel does not display the setup menu. Don’t forget to select the proper input on your TV.

-If you think your D 200 is set up for the wrong video type (NTSC or PAL) or if there is no output from the HDMI jack please see the FAQ section of this manual.

-If your D 200 is connected to your TV only by an HDMI cable and you cannot see the setup menu, you may need to temporarily connect a composite video cable in order to view the setup menu. Then you can turn on your D 200’s HDMI output.

Start with your D 200 power turned on and at full stop (press the STOP button twice). Press the SETUP button on your remote handset.

The main menu will appear.

This is the onscreen display (OSD)
