While watching a video or listening to music on your system, you can make quick adjust- ments that will increase your enjoyment of the program. For example, you may want to hear more or fewer of the system speakers playing, or boost the center channel volume slightly. For this purpose, each source you use with this system has its own Settings menu, with features appropriate to that source.

With a little experience, moving about and selecting options in the Settings menu for each source becomes second nature. Just try it and see.

How to see your options

To see the settings, you must first select the source. Then, on the LIFESTYLE® remote control, press the Settings button to enter the menu.

You can view the Settings menu for each source on your TV screen or, for audio sources only, on the display panel of your media center.

If your source is the FM radio tuner, the setting options appear on the media center display (Figure 8). The choices scroll into view as you press the down button on the remote.

To see the Settings menu on the TV screen as well, turn on the TV and select the TV input for the media center. If the list of elements in a menu is longer than can be seen, a small down or up arrow indicates where to move to see the others.
