Thats a difficult question because I would think it would be an individuals choice but I would start with the pre-sets, which there are several, and yes even after that I did tweek a couple of things. Once you get it the way you like it take some notes or pictures so they will be handy if the kids come over and change stuff. I would think "user preference buttons" where you could save your own settings would be cool and very easily done with software technology today would be cool.
