Remote: Use this option to setup your remote to control your TV and other equipment.

Audio: The Audio option in Setup lets you make lasting adjustments to settings such as language and Dolby Digital. To make temporary adjustments, use the Audio Options item in the Quick Menu.

Display: This option lets you change display settings such as native mode, screen format, bar color, the Channel Banner display time, the language in onscreen menus, time zone (for the clock) and screen cen- tering.

TV Type: The TV Type option is where you can set your TV’s aspect ratio and resolution.

Access Card: Follow the onscreen directions to replace your access card. You will need your old and new
