ABSTRACT:
In a modern television apparatus, the settings are generally realized by menu-calling sequences in which different menus successively appear on the display screen. Finally, a variable is retained and it is possible to increase or decrease its value by way of a pair of "+" and "-" keys (13), respectively. The last variable which has been set by the sequence of menus can now be set again after such a sequence and without having to run through this sequence again if the "normal" keys (13) are subsequently used. Moreover, additional "+" and "-" keys (15) having about the same function may be provided: the variable to be set by means of the keys 13 and 15, respectively, will be the one which has been set by way of the same keys during a previous sequence of menus.
