Chapter 4 Overview
Power
Now that your Model 976 is properly
connected and con gured, you’re ready
to enjoy it! We designed the Model 976
to be simple and intuitive, so for most of
its operations you probably don’t need
to read the manual. However, it’s worth
browsing through the operation instruc-
tions so that you don’t miss out on any
of the Model 976’s useful features.
Although you’ve already used the
menus and on-screen display to set up
the Model 976, many of its settings can
be changed “on the y,” directly from
the remote, without going through the
menus.
