Adjusting Input Levels and Position
Adjusting Levels for Video Sources
Video sources are adjusted best if a color bar test pattern is
available from the video source: the DVD or VCR player. If not,
you will have to adjust by eye and the “feel” of the picture.
Note:
When a video source is selected, Auto Setup Options are not
available. Adjustments must be made manually.
Adjusting the Picture
1 Select a video source in the
PICTURE
menu.
2 Press
LEVEL
on the remote to open
INPUT
LEVELS
.
3 Adjust one of the following:
•
Any picture from the video source.
•
Using a standard SMPTE color bar pattern from the source.
Adjusting With Color Bars
1 If possible, use a SMPTE color bar pattern from the video
source you will use for the program material.
2 In the
INPUT
LEVELS
menu, check
BLUE
ONLY
. You should
see the alternate color bars, all of them blue.
3 Adjust
SATURATION
to make the outer two color bars
match. Match them in brightness; they will already match
in color.
4 Adjust
HUE
to make the inner two color bars match.
5 Uncheck
BLUE
ONLY
.
6 If the color bar pat-
tern has a pluge
(Picture Line-Up
Generation Equip-
ment), you can use
it to adjust bright-
ness. Pluge is used
to calibrate the
black level on a
video monitor.
7 Although it’s not
required, it is recommended that you save the configura-
tion to a memory slot. See the Installation & Configuration
Guide for more information about saving memory slots.
Adjusting Position
Position moves the picture on the screen but does not move the
menus. Press
SIZE
/
POS
on the remote once to open the
PICTURE
POSITION
menu. The four arrow keys move the picture on the
screen.
The numbers for Horizontal and Vertical Position refer to the
number of pixels from sync to the first displayed pixel. These
numbers get smaller as the picture moves up and to the left.
The Horizontal Position number shows the number of pixels
from the beginning of H sync to the first active pixel. Because
there are many black pixels after H sync, this number will not be
zero when the picture is at the left border of the screen.
The Vertical Position number is the number of lines from V sync
to the first active line, so it will not be zero when the picture is at
the top of the screen.
