The virtual front panel (VFP)
The DV-RA1000HD allows access to many functions
through the virtual front panel, providing a graphical

might be hardware switches on other units.
Note that many of these functions are hardware keys on
the remote control unit.
To launch the virtual front panel

The virtual front panel appears.
There are four types of the virtual front panel:

Press CANCEL to exit the virtual front panel
and return to the home screen.

panel.

selected switch.
If a switch just toggles between on and off, a
mark appears above the switch when the switch
is turned on, and a mark appears above the
switch when the switch is turned off.
NOTE
In this manual, the procedure of selecting a
switch in the virtual front panel and pressing the
F5 key is referred to as “pressing a switch.”
Some switches, when pressed for at least one
second, present a menu of choices, but others
just toggle between on and off.
