How to interpret the setting indicator colors in the Setup screen menus

When setting up the system, or when making adjustments, it is convenient to know what settings are applicable to the different disc formats. When the settings appear for each menu option, the currently selected setting appears with the setting indicator highlighted in one of three colors: blue, green or yellow. These colors correspond to what formats the menu option effects as shown in the table below.

Note

If a setting applicable only to DVDs is changed while a Video CD or CD is loaded, a blue DVD icon appears in the upper right hand corner of the screen to indicate that the setting is not applicable to the currently loaded disc. The setting will be effective the next time a DVD is loaded.
