The DP571 and DP572 employ the same user interface to access menus and display status information. This section introduces the interface, controls, and display features (see Figure 1-3).

Conventions

The + symbol will be used to notate key sequences not simultaneous key combinations. For example, “press Shift + Setup to enter Status mode” means “press the Shift key then press the Setup key” not “press the Shift and Setup keys at the same time.”

The Shift key provides access to the functions labeled above and below the Arrow, Setup, and Enter (DP572) keys. This manual will refer to the marking on the actual key pressed when giving instructions not the text above the key. For example, access the Contrast menu by pressing Shift + ↓. Access the headphone level menu on the DP572 by pressing Shift + Enter.
