Changing the Angles
You can adjust the playback image of a DVD to match the
light level of your room or the type of software that you
are watching.
By using the noise reduction function, you can lessen the
flickering that appears in the still areas of a playback
image. You also can adjust the gamma level to improve
the light areas of images that appear washed out or the
dark areas that lack definition.
By making settings for different DVD genres such as
movies or concerts and storing these settings in Memory 1
through 5, you can quickly adjust the player to the type of
DVD software that you are watching. You can also save
these settings for up to 300 individual discs using the
Playback Memory function. See page 56 for more
information about Playback Memory.

Adjusting the areas of an image that are
too light or dark (Gamma Correction)
Depending on your TV or viewing environment, images
on the screen may lose definition because certain areas of
the image are too light or too dark. When it is too light,
the image will appear to be washed out, and when it is
too dark, the image will blend into the surrounding dark
areas.
By correcting the Gamma value, you can alter the
brightness of selected areas so that the image can be seen
clearly. Since the BRIGHTNESS adjustment controls the
brightness of the entire image, the Gamma adjustment is
useful when you need to increase the brightness of just
the area that is too bright or too dark.
Example:
You are watching a movie that is rich in
shadows and you want to be able to see the details of the
scenery hidden in these shadows.
If you use the BRIGHTNESS function to increase the
brightness, the brightness of the entire image will
increase, thus causing the light areas of the image to
become washed out. By using the Gamma Correction
feature, you can gradually increase the brightness of just
the dark areas of an image without sacrificing the detail of
the entire image.
