Initial Settings menu

Using the Initial Settings menu

The Initial Settings menu provides audio and video output settings, parental lock settings, and display settings, among others.

If an option is grayed out it means that it cannot be changed at the current time. This is usually because a disc is playing. Stop the disc, then change the setting.

1Press HOME MENU and select ‘Initial Settings’.
