Operating the AVT-3400

Operating the AVT-3400 is intuitive and easily learned. The operation at the unit 
itself is accomplished via the buttons mounted within the case. Although easily 
learned due the clear labeling of the functions, operating the unit via these 
buttons is also a rather limited way to operate the unit because all functions are 
not available from these buttons.

Since virtually all users will operate the unit via the remote control to gain 
complete control over its functions, it is recommended that you take the time to 
discover where the various buttons are located on the remote by looking at the 
actual remote and comparing it to the diagram above.

Like the manual controls on the unit, the labeling is clear for the majority of the 
functions. Pressing the c/- buttons is rather intuitive since an up arrow 
will surely result in increasing the channel number and pressing the down arrow 
will likewise select a lower channel. The use of the volume control buttons and 
the input selection button is also clear.

The main area of confusion with the remote control revolves around Menu Item 
selection and a few special function buttons. We’ll spend a few moments 
explaining how to navigate the menu and also reveal what the special purpose 
buttons are attempting to do.

5.1    “Top’ Menu

When you first press the Menu button on your remote, you will see a list of seven 
items appear on the monitor.  This is the initial or 

‘Top’

menu and the function to 

be changed will need to be highlighted. The procedure for moving up and down 
the list is explained below.

1 Input

2 Picture
3 TV Function
4 Resolution
5 OSD Function
6 Language
7 Reset

The ‘Top’ or First Menu 
Display is encountered 
when you press the 
Menu button on your 
remote.
