ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD) AND FRONT-PANEL READOUT
The S170 preamplifier employs a simple, self-explanatory system of on-screen display "menus" that will
appear on the connected video monitor/TV, useful both during setup and in day-to-day operation. While
the OSDs are always helpful, it is also perfectly possible to operate (or even set up) the S170 without them,
because the same basic data is always shown, though sometimes in shortened form, on the preamp's own
front-panel readout.
DISPLAYING THE MENUS
Select the S70 remote's PREAMP screen (from the S70 main menu, press the remote key opposite the
PREAMP LCD screen): Press the [OSD] key, then [Cursor >]. The OSD will appear on your video monitor/TV.
• If the OSD does not appear, check your Monitor Out connections, and/or the settings of the <Video
format> and <OSD display> items of the <Display setup> menu (see below), using the S170's front-
panel readout.
NOTE
The OSD does not appear on the S170's component-video outputs
NAVIGATING THE OSD AND MAKING CHANGES
Use the remote's [Cursor up/down] keys to move up or down among any OSD menu's list of items; use
the [Cursor <>] keys to change the parameter-value (setting) of any item; use the remote's [Enter] key to
select an OSD menu item.
NOTE THAT:
• Selecting the on-screen <Exit> item from any on-screen menu (press the remote’s [enter] key to select)
returns "up" one level to the next-"higher" menu, or from the Main menu exits the OSD altogether.
• Keying the S70 remote's LCD-labeled [Exit] key from any OSD menu performs two functions
simultaneously: It exits the OSD altogether, turning off any and all current on-screen displays, while
simultaneously recording your changes (if any) to the S170's memory; selecting <Exit> from the Main
menu also saves changes.
• By contrast, keying the S70 remote's LCD-labeled [Cancel] key "quits" the OSD menu system
altogether, from any menu, while abandoning any changes you have made since the last [Exit]/save
operation.
This is worth repeating: the S70 remote's [Exit] key saves changes; its [Cancel] key abandons changes; the
on-screen <Exit> command moves up one level.
