The On-Screen Display (OSD) Functions

Video Connections

The On Screen Display (OSD) function is present at the MAIN Composite Video, S-Video, or Component Video outputs. It is also present at the output labeled VID2/MON2, but only if it is set to MON2 in the programming steps using the OSD. Make sure that your TV monitor’s video input is connected correctly to one of these outputs.

OSD Activation

The OSD is activated using the remote’s MENU button (with the remote set to operate the EMO function). The joystick pad and surrounding buttons allow you to navigate through the OSD menus to control and customize many features of the DMC-1.

Press EXIT to quit the OSD at any time. Any changes you make will be saved.

Note that the DMC-1 front panel display shows abbreviated text when the OSD is activated.

Quick Access to Information

Pressing INFO at any time will bring up a short description of the source you are listening to. For example if you are listening to a DVD, the TV display might show:

DVD DIGITAL 48K

DTS 5.1 / 5.1

What this means is that DVD is the selected input and the signal type is DIGITAL. The sample rate of the signal is 48kHz and the decoding mode is registered as DTS is the mode, 5.1 is the input format, 5.1 is the output (i.e. five speakers and a subwoofer).
