Using the Menu System
Film mode (3:2 Pulldown) Automatically detects video sources that were
originally recorded on film (like most movies) and subsequently converted
to a different format (for TV broadcast, for example). Film mode processes
the converted signal so that it looks as close as possible to the original.
Another name for this process is reverse 3:2 pulldown.
Advanced (recommended) enables the feature only when the TV detects
that movie playback quality could be improved. Advanced is the default
setting.
The On setting should only be used in rare circumstances when the TV is
used solely with film-based sources (like DVDs on a non-progressive-scan
player).
The Off setting turns off film mode upconversion. Try using this setting if
you think the reverse 3:2 pulldown is causing distortions in your picture.
Note: Autoformat and Video noise reduction are available for the CMP1
input only if the signal is 480i.
Picture Presets
Displays a choice list that lets you select one of the preset
picture settings: Vibrant , Cinematic , Natural , Sports , Videogame , Video Camera
or Personal . Choose the setting that is best for your viewing environment. You
can set a different picture preset for each input (including one for your regular
TV channels).
Black Level

Color

Contrast
Adjusts the difference between the light and dark areas of the picture.
Sharpness
Adjusts the crispness of the edges in the picture.
Note: You can adjust sharpness for each channel and input. This is useful if
the signal appears fuzzy.
Color Warmth Displays a choice list that lets you set one of three automatic
color adjustments:
Cool
for a more blue palette of picture colors;
Normal
; or
Warm
for a more red palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to
the NTSC standard of 6500 K.
Tint Adjusts the balance between the red and green levels.
When you change any of these picture settings, the
Picture Preset
changes to
Personal
. Use the left or right arrow button to make adjustments. To return to
the Picture menu, press the up or down arrow button.
Channel Guide Menu
Allows you to view and select from the entire channel list and their labels. Press
the GUIDE button to bring up the Channel Guide menu. Use the up or down
arrow to scroll through the list. Press OK to select and tune to the highlighted
channel. Press the last digit of one of the channels in the guide to tune to that
channel and leave the Channel Guide on the screen.
Tip:
You can select a different picture preset (or
set up a different personal preset) for each
input. The ANTENNA/CABLE jack counts as a
single input.
