Figure 4-8, Setup Menu Mode - Left and Right-hand LCD Displays
In the setup menu mode, the left-hand SELECT keys adjacent to the left-hand
display cycle through a series of twelve setup menus. In general each menu allows
three controls to be adjusted, one via the right-hand side of the left-hand display and
the other two via the right-hand display. The setup menu description is shown on the
