Bringing up the on-screen menu is done easily by pressing in the joystick on the rear of the monitor. All of the settings are very easy to find and change.

You can also bring up quick menus by pressing left, right, up or down on the joystick (without the on-screen menu up). Using these controls you can cycle through presets, turn game assist features on/off, switch the input, and adjust the volume.
