IR REMOTE AND OSD OPERATION
There are four ways to control the unit: from the
front panel, with the remote control buttons, using
the On-Screen-Display with the remote and via
RS232. Controlling from the front panel or the
remote requires cycling through the available func-
tions. If direct access IR control is needed, the unit
can teach learning remotes via the IR flasher. See
the IR Setup section.
When the unit first powers up it will go through an
initializing procedure and then display the output
resolution.
The remote control allows for easy operation by
simple navigation through the On Screen Display
(OSD)menus. Repeated Pressing of a button tog-
gles through the available choices.
