[Electronics-talk] on screen menues

[Evelyn Weckerly]

Hi, again,

I thought I'd bring you up to date on the on screeen menu situation. 
I went over all of it with a technician just a few minutes ago. I am 
glad to report that nearly all of this menu is irrelevant to blind 
people or for a technician's use. The menu has a beginning and end. 
If you just press the button, it toggles between mono and stereo. If 
you hold the button in for five seconds, you are taken to the the 
list of settings. Then each press takes you through the list. There 
is a knob the clicks in for the various setting levels and choices. 
If I should get in there and mess something up, pushing the on/off 
button and holding it in for five seconds resets the processors but 
does not disturb any station presets. Although I now know what each 
item is, I basically can just forget the onscreen menu. Otherwise, I 
thought I'd see if the KNFB Reader Mobile would read that screen.

I wish to thank all who took the time to reply to this initial 
inquiry. It's very much appreciated.

Cordially,

Evelyn



Hi, all,

I am trying to evaluate a new tuner as part of a high-quality audio 
system. It appears that some of its important functions are accessed 
and set through an on screen menu. I'm wondering how people deal with 
this kind of stuff. The tuner has AM, FM/FMstereo, HD (three bands, 
and is XM ready, needing only the home kit and antenna from XM 
itself. It is a McIntosh Labs MR8088. I know this is an expensive 
piece of equipment, but if perchance anyone on this list has looked 
at this, I'd like to hear from you. I'd also like to know if anyone 
has dealt successfully with onscreen menues and how you do it. At 
this point, I don't know if the choice wrap around or not. If they 
don't, things will be somewhat easier.

Thanks in advance.

Evelyn
