Using the on-screen displays

For ease of use, this player makes extensive use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs). You should get used to the way these work as you’ll need to use them when setting up the player, using some of the playback features, such as program play, and when making more advanced settings for audio and video.

All the screens are navigated in basically the same way, using the cursor buttons (

)to change the highlighted item and pressing ENTER to select it.

Throughout this manual, ‘Select’ means use the cursor buttons to highlight an item on-screen, then press ENTER.
