The On Screen Menus
Your TV has two kinds of menus, the Main menu and the various
Tools menus. The Main menu gives you access to most or all of
the menu options available on your TV. The Tools menus display
a selected number of frequently used menu options that change
depending on the screen you are viewing. A Tools menu symbol
(
T
) in the lower right side of the screen indicates that a Tools menu
is available.
The Main menu has seven primary categories:
y
Picture
y
Input
y
Sound
y
Application

Setup
To view the Main menu, press the
MENU
button on your remote. To
view a Tools menu, press the
TOOLS
button on your remote.
✎
The menu options that appear in the Main menu depend
on the Source you have selected. For example, if you have
selected the HDMI source, the Channel category will not
appear. To see the Channel category, you must first select TV
in the Source List.
The Menu options are presented below, arranged by Main menu
categories. A Tools button symbol
(
t
)
next to an option
name indicates the option is also available in one of the Tools
menus.
