Using the Menu System
The PIP’s LCD menu system diplays status

allow the adjustment of the image and its
parameters. The LCD normally cycles
continuously through default screens that
identify the detected format of the inputs and the
assigned standard of the output.

advances from one menu to the next.
The Next button steps through the adjustment/
selection submenus within a menu.
