System Setup
The final step in the installation of the HS 100 is to
establish the system’s configuration. Before proceeding,
make certain that the HS 100 is properly connected to
a video display and an AC power source. Turn on the
video display, and switch its input, if necessary, to the
input connected to the HS 100’s video output.
Turn on the HS 100 by pressing the Power On/Off
Switch on the front panel or the Power On
Button

on the remote. Note that the lighting
surrounding the Power On/Off Switch will turn
blue, a blue light will surround the front-panel Volume
Control

, the Information Display

will light
and the HS 100 screen will appear on your video
display.
In many cases you will not need to change the default
settings. This is normal, as we have anticipated the typi-
cal system setup. Of course, you may return to the
setup menus and change them at any time to reflect a
change in your personal preferences or equipment
selection.
System Defaults
General Functionality of the OSD Menu
The setup and control of the HS 100 takes place in an
advanced user-guided On Screen Display (OSD) menu
system. The OSD can be activated by pressing the
OSD
Button
O
on the remote control. Pressing this button
again de-activates the OSD.
The main menu consists of a
PLAYER
menu,
RADIO menu, TV menu, AUX menu,
DIGITAL IN
menu and a
SET-UP
menu.
The PLAYER menu will show all information and
options available for the disc currently playing. The
RADIO menu will show radio and RDS options. The
TV
,
AUX
and
DIGITAL IN
menus show the
surround options for these specific audio inputs. The
SET-UP
menu will help you configure all audio and
video settings which are normally made only once.
Each main menu contains submenus. These submenus
are shown as icons on the left side of the menu. They
may be selected by moving the white highlighted square
around the icon by pressing the
Navigation Buttons
A
. Menus may be activated by pressing the Enter
Button
P
when an icon is highlighted. When the
Enter Button
P
has been pressed, the color of the
icon will change to dark blue and the current settings of
this submenu will appear on the right side of the menu.
Although each menu has various submenus and
settings, they are all navigated in the same way. All sub-
menus, settings and options can be accessed with the
help of the
Navigation Button
A
and the Enter
Button
P
on the remote control.

Setup Menu
The first step in checking or changing the system
defaults is to access the
SET-UP
Menu. First,

the screen.
In the SET-UP menu you will find submenus for

both the Audio and Video aspects of your HS 100.

Buttons
