   Thanks for your reply Jeff, you always have the best replies; glad ur   
   still here for us.   
      
   I am not at home so I will have to send the model number later. Only know   
   that the pix in the url/manual I gave looks identical to the unit.   
      
   I have the screenshots about 10 pages of them, much of which I don't   
   understand but I can see what the settings were before and with your   
   additional help, go from there, I hope. Will post later what the results   
   are as I have never done this before.
