SYSTEM FIRMWARE SETUP
Now that all the sources and cables are connected,
the processor’s firmware needs to be setup for the
installation. Be sure to go through the Setup menu
before doing the final setup of the display.
When the unit is first plugged in it will go through an
initializing procedure and display the output
resolution. Do not send any commands to the unit
during this initialization period. Once this initialization
is completed the unit is instant-on.
Note: All display devices have specific setup
steps that must be completed to insure
proper operation with the DVP1500 and
other sources. Be sure to carefully
follow those instructions as well as
the instructions for this processor.
To enter the Setup menu, press the setup key on the
front panel. Setup Functions can only be viewed on
the front panel LCD, not from the OSD.
Press the Function Up or Down to select the available
Functions. Press the Value Up or Down keys to
change values or to select options.
