The on-screen display will automatically disappear in 5 seconds.
For examples, there are 2 status displays as follows.

When selecting the desired input source.                                 When selecting the TEST TONE mode.

This unit incorporates an OSD(On-screen display) function to provide information about basic operation of this unit and to
simplify the setup procedures.
The OSD function uses a monitor TV connected to this unit as a display and has two kinds of display modes such as current
status display and menu screen.

available.

If it is different from your video components, video softwares, etc., in the standby mode, press the STANDBY
button while keeping the AUTO/MANUAL button pressed on the front panel, then the video format is changed
to the NTSC or the PAL color system.
