I can't find any detail in the manual about what these options mean and how to set up playoffs.
That's going to depend if you have the teams separated into two divisions or two conferences. With two conferences, just use either "8 Teams, 4 per Conf" or the Custom type, starting in the Quarterfinals and with the Conferences Separate box checked (the latter will let you edit the rest days, those are fixed in the pre-set option and can't be changed.) With divisions, it won't work as well - the closest you could come is using the Custom type and specifying that the divisional leader gets seeded, but that will still take the top 8 teams in the league, not the top 4 per division.
