display unit (and the remote controller). Ten keys are labeled and they provide the function

shown on their labels. The five soft keys provide various functions according to current

operating mode. The

ENTER knob mainly functions to register selections on the menu and

adjust the EBL, VRM and gain. The

the screen. When you correctly execute an operation, the unit generates a beep. Invalid

operation causes the unit to emit three beeps.
