Properties that you can adjust
Adjustments to system properties are typically  those you make only once. If your system 
already operates just as you want, ther e is no need to make such adjustments. 
However, for some installa tion options, changes to the System menu may be required. This is 
simply to make the system fully compatible and convenient for your setup. 
One example is the adjustments made so the re mote control works with any components 
that are externally conn ected to the system.
How to enter the System menu
By pressing the System button on the LIFESTYLE® remote control, you call up the System 
menu. This menu appears on your TV screen  only, not on the media center display. 
However, if you do NOT see this menu:
• Make sure your TV is turned on.
• Make sure to select the TV  Video Input used to connect to the media center.
Note:
If you recorded the TV Video Input  information on the form in your Installation Guide, refer 
to that form as needed. 
• Press 
System on the LIFESTYLE® remote control, as needed. 
What it shows you
When the System menu appe ars, the first property on the left (Audio)  is prominent, and the 
preview screen displays those  property features. However, as  you move across to the right, 
different properties become prominent. 
At the far right, you reach the DVD Lock property  and its preview list of features (Figure 14).
Note:
Entering the System menu causes any DVD  or VCD that is playing to pause.
