8 Adjusting TV settings

You can adjust most picture and sound settings while you are
watching a program by pressing A to open the Options menu. There
are some additional picture and sound settings in the Settings menu.
In most cases, the changes you make apply only to the input you are
using. Antenna TV, the separate HDMI
have their own settings that the TV remembers when you return to
that input. The TV also separately remembers the settings you specify
while viewing streaming content.
