Using the Initial Settings menu
The Initial Settings menu provides audio and
video output settings, parental lock settings,
and display settings, among others.
If an option is grayed out it means that it
cannot be changed at the current time. This is
usually because a disc is playing. Stop the
disc, then change the setting.
