If you hadn't already mentioned using the front panel MENU button, I'd suggest making sure that you press "TNR" on the remote first and that you use the button beneath the "9" on the remote (there's also a button near the navigation pad with a "menu" label, but it's a secondary label and that button accesses tone controls on the 990).
