Menu Navigation
Pressing the

button takes you to the top item of the menu system and displays the screen:
1-Select Show A: (empty)
To step through the menu options, press the
SCROLL
button repeatedly until the required item appears.
Some menu options are only available at specific times. E.g., the
Stop
option is only available if a Show is
currently running.
If you go past the required option, as the menu system is wrap-around, keep pressing the
SCROLL
button
until the option appears again.
To select a menu option or enter a sub-menu, press the
ENTER
button.
To step through sub-menu options, press the
SCROLL

Pressing the

Scrolling is wrap-around. When the last value is reached, the next key-press returns to the first value and
