Changing between panels
After a menu item is selected, e.g., "Radio", a new panel is displayed. Panels can overlap.
▷ Move the controller to the left.
The current panel is closed and the previous panel is displayed.
The previous panel is opened again by pressing the BACK button. In this case, the current panel is not closed.
▷ Move the controller to the right.
A new panel is opened on top of the previous display.

White arrows pointing to the left or right indicate that additional panels can be opened.
