THE MENU SYSTEM

WHAT’S A MENU?

The DSS® system menu is a list of choices, just like a menu in a restaurant. And, just as a restaurant menu is divided into sections such as appetizers, entrees, and desserts, the on-screen menus are also separated into sections to help you find the information you need.

DON’T FORGET POINT AND SELECT

As with all of the on-screen displays, you use Point and Select to navigate.
