Each color temperature setting has six (6) “white balance” parameters associated with it
(two each for red, green and blue). These are described later in this section; refer to
White
Balance on page 43.
G amma: The Gamma control determines how gray shades are displayed between
minimum input (black) and maximum input (white) for all signals. A good gamma setting
helps to optimize blacks and whites while ensuring smooth transitions for the
“in-between” values utilized in other grays.
Unlike brightness and contrast controls, Gamma allows you to lighten or darken the
overall tone of your images without changing the extremes. All images will be more vibrant
while still showing good detail in dark areas.
The default Gamma setting of 2.20 is appropriate for most typical home theater
environments.
S ave S etting s : The Crystal Series LCD lets you save image quality settings for each input
and supported resolution to a preset. You can recall this preset at a later time by simply
pressing a button on the remote control or using the Restore Settings menu command
(see below).
You should save changes to any of the following settings to a preset; otherwise they will
be lost when a new input source or resolution is selected:
• Brightness
• Contrast

• Tint
• Sharpness
• Gamma
• Color temperature selection (5400, 6500, 8500 or Custom)

ENTER . Select one of four equalizer presets – Standard (flat), Music, Film or
