1. A configuration apparatus comprising:
- a user interface allowing a user to initiate configuration of a target configurable device selected from a plurality of configurable devices of a media system;
a command module for dynamically generating a sequence of commands to enter a hidden service-configuration menu of the target configurable device and to change settings within the hidden service-configuration menu in order to configure the target configurable device to operate in a manner compatible with the media system; and
a communication module for transmitting the sequence of commands to the target configurable device;
wherein a user interface of the target configurable device does not indicate a way to enter the hidden service-configuration menu.

Abstract
A configuration apparatus includes a user interface allowing a user to initiate configuration of at least a target configurable device selected from a plurality of configurable devices. A command module is coupled to the user interface for dynamically generating a sequence of commands required to configure the target configurable device. The sequence of commands includes commands for entering a hidden service-configuration menu of the target configurable device. A communication module is coupled to the command module for transmitting the sequence of commands to the target configurable device.

20. A method comprising:
-
allowing a user to initiate configuration of a target configurable device selected from a plurality of configurable devices of a media system; automatically determining another device of the media system that is coupled to the target configurable device; dynamically generating a sequence of commands for entering a hidden service-configuration menu of the target configurable device and changing settings within the hidden service-configuration menu in order to configure the target configurable device to operate in a manner that is compatible with the other device; and transmitting the sequence of commands to the target configurable device; wherein a user interface of the target configurable device does not indicate a way to enter the hidden service-configuration menu; and the media system is installed at a hospitality establishment and the target configurable device is a guest-facing audio/visual (AV) entertainment device.
