Setting the Position of the On-screen Display Expert

When watching conventional software on a wide screen TV, the operation display is at the very top of the screen, and may be difficult to see. Changing the position of the display lets you see operation indicators clearly even on a wide screen TV.

Alternatively, you can choose to turn them off completely with the [Off] setting.
