To select the display mode, click AUTO OSD ERASE (ON or OFF), POINTER ONLY (SET) or DEMO (START).

AUTO OSD ERASE: This display mode is useful during LD player operations since it allows you to see chapter numbers that otherwise might be hidden by the control panel. When this mode is on, control panels disappear whenever you click and hold down the direction control button on the remote. When you release the button, the control panel reappears.

POINTER ONLY: This display mode allows you to use the pointer to point to various on-screen items, such as during a presentation (etc.).

When you click POINTER ONLY SET, the on- screen display disappears except for the pointer and an EXIT button. To freeze the pointer, hold down the direction control button on the remote.

DEMO: This display mode activates a program that explains the various functions of the receiver. Note that when the program is running, it replaces previously stored data (such as surround sound parameters) with data from the program. Click START to activate the program. To stop the program, press any button on the remote or receiver.
