Source Video Output: This button selects the S-video, component video or HDMI output to be used when the internal disc player or a device connected to one of the USB ports is the source. Since the HS 500 cannot output S-video and component video simultaneously, the S-video or YUV (for component video) indicator will light in the front-panel display when that video output has been selected.
Source Video Format: This button selects the upscaled video output resolution (480i, 720p, 1080i) when the internal disc player or a device connected to one of the USB ports is the source. The 720p or 1080i indicator will light in the front-panel display to indicate the upscaled resolution.

See the Installation section for instructions for learning remote codes. There is also a quick reference for learning remote codes on the back of the remote.
Transport Controls: These buttons are used to operate the HS 500’s internal disc player. Use the controls to skip forward or reverse by track or chapter; to fast-search forward or reverse; and to play, pause or stop the disc. After pressing the Pause button, the skip buttons may be used to step frame-by-frame through a video presentation, and the fast-search buttons may be used for slow-play.
Title/Record: When used with the internal disc player, this button allows you to select from the titles stored on the disc, which may include “making of” or other featurettes. If you have connected a recorder to the HS 500, this button may be used to make recordings when it is pressed simultaneously with the Subtitle button.
Backlight: Press this button to turn on the backlight to make it easier to see the buttons in a darkened room. The backlight will remain on for a few seconds after your last button press before going out, or you may turn off the backlight by pressing this button again.
