Menus, On-screen Help, and Control Panels

This section highlights your TV’s on-screen menu system. The menu system has several types of screens. An overview follows.

Note: The GUIDE Plus+ Menu, Parental Controls, Web Browser, and 1394 Recording menu items are discussed in the Features chapter while Assisted Setup is discussed in the Connections and Setup Chapter.

Tips

A shortcut method to access a menu item is to press the number button on the remote that matches the number next to the on-screen menu. For example, in the Main Menu, press 3 to go straight to the Audio menu.

Feel free to explore the menu system. If you’re ever unsure where you are in the menu system, look at the menu path at the top (for example, Main Menu, Picture Quality) or if you’re just plain tired of exploring, press CLEAR to remove the menus from the screen and start over again.Menu Path
