Usage & GUI: all menu sections

Menu → Setup → Usage & GUI groups everyday controls, on-screen information and input devices. These are the 13 fixed entries in the reviewed OpenATV menu. Plugins can add further entries. Hardware-specific entries appear only when the receiver exposes that capability.

The existing detailed guides are linked below. The settings reference already contains the labels, original help, configuration keys and visibility conditions extracted from each setup. It complements the practical guides.

Menu entry	Purpose	Guide / existing reference
OSD Settings	Menus, help, Infobar, messages, screen saver and PiP	Menus and OSD, Infobar, PiP; 60 options

Channel Selection Settings	Bouquets, numbering, zapping, picons and list styles	Channel list gallery; 50 options
Customize System Settings	Setup level, teletext, streams, startup/wakeup and media marks	System customisation; 31 options

A menu entry or option is missing

Select Customize System Settings → Settings mode → Expert when needed. Expert reveals additional settings; it does not add missing hardware. It cannot provide an absent display, PiP decoder or configurable remote code. Sub-options may also depend on another switch, list style or skin. Check for hidden menu entries too.

Reference counts describe the source catalogue, not the number of rows visible simultaneously on every receiver. The GUI skin field, present with two different restart conditions, is counted once.

Find the right topic

• Cannot find a setting: search its visible label, English label or short key, such as screenSaverMode, Picon search mode or key repeat.
• MENU inside an open menu: opens OSD settings. MENU has separate actions in a channel list, plugin or setup dialog.
• Audio/subtitle language: use automatic language selection rather than menu language.
• Clipped picture or incorrect HDMI resolution: see OSD calibration or video output.
• Style your skin: see MetrixHD or Umbra.

Sources and verification explain the basis and the limits of the test receiver.
