Using the TV’s Menu System

Menus, On-screen Help and Control Panels

This section explores menus of your TV beginning with some information on using menus and control panels. Each menu is outlined and detailed to help you get the most from your TV. The Guide Plus+ Menu, Parental Controls, and Web Browser menu items are discussed in the Features chapter while Assisted Setup is discussed in the Connections and Setup chapter.

Tip

Feel free to explore the menu system. If you’re ever unsure where you are in the menu system, look at the menu path at the top (for example, Main Menu￿Picture Quality) or you’re just plain tired of exploring, press CLEAR to remove the menus from the screen and start over again.

The first menu you see when you press the MENU button on the remote is called the Main Menu. To access the Main Menu.

1.Press the MENU button (the Main Menu appears).

2.Use the arrow buttons (left,right,up,down) to move through the menu items.

3.Press the OK button or right arrow to select a highlighted item in the menu. Or, press the number beside of the menu item to go directly to the menu item. For example, in the Main menu press 3 to go straight to the Audio menu.

Exiting a menu

There are three ways to exit a menu:

Highlight 0 (Go Back) menu button and press OK, or press GO BACK on the remote.

Press 0 on the remote when you are highlighting the left side of the menu.

Press CLEAR. The on-screen displays are cleared from the screen and you return to TV viewing.

On-Screen Help

Information appears on the screen to assist you in understanding your menu selection. To the right of the highlighted menu item is a display area that might provide on-screen help text of the item selected along with any submenu items. In addition, a menu path appears at the top of the screen to let you know where you are in the menu system. And at the bottom of the screen are two lines of text that explain the currently highlighted item.

Controls

Controls let you adjust the default settings of your TV. You can choose a setting, enter a number, or adjust a level such as tint or brightness. There are four types of controls: sliders, choice lists (check boxes, radio buttons), alpha/numeric entries, and menu (action, choice fields) buttons.
