A few weeks ago I picked this same processor. I also have experienced similar problems as you. Initially I was only able to see the menu using the s-video output which was not what I wanted. Reading your topic inspired me to figure out how to use the composite output for my on screen menu.
Resetting the unit to its factory settings was the first thing I did (press power button and recall button at the same time). Then as the manual describes on page 4, I selected the initial video signal and video format. It worked! I now have a on screen display using my composite output. That was until I selected a source that I did not set up initially like tuner. I went through and set up all my unused sources video inputs as composite 1 so the OSD does not disappear if I accidentally select the wrong source. Not sure if that was the thing to do but it is working so far. I hope this helps.
I have had no remote control problems until the other night while watching a DTS encoded movie for the first time. The remote started working intermittently. It has not happened since and is now working fine. Wierd.
