settings menu

Navigating the menus
The Solo menus can be navigated by using
the cursor (arrow) keys on the remote
control.
The Settings menus allow you to configure
all aspects of your Solo. The next few
pages will go through the menu items and
explain their function. The Settings menus
may look daunting if you are new to
setting up home cinema, but the majority
of them need only be configured once
when you first install the system.
The best way to view the Settings
menus is on your display device (TV or
projector), using the on-screen display
(OSD) capability of the Solo. This is highly
recommended when setting up the Solo
movie. To view the OSD for the system
setup, connect the video output to your
display device. However, setting up the
Solo music may be performed using the
Solo front panel display only, should an
external display device is not available. The
diagrams in this section will aid you with
navigating through the settings menu and Press the
screen at any time.
