When you highlight a setting, the header text explains the effect of its current value. When
you begin to adjust a setting, the other options are hidden so you can see more of the screen.
Even though the other settings are hidden, you can move the highlight up or down to adjust the
other settings. As soon as you press

, the other settings become visible again.
Advanced picture settings menu options
•
Picture mode
– Provides picture presets for various viewing preferences. This setting duplicates
the one on the
Options
menu. When you change the
Picture mode
, other picture settings adjust
accordingly. For example, setting the
Picture mode
to
Vivid
sets
Brightness
,
Contrast
,
Sharpness
, and other values to produce a very vibrant picture. Setting
Picture mode
to
Movie
changes these same settings to produce a picture suitable for enjoying movies in a darkened
room. If you make changes to the individual picture settings—for example,
Contrast
, or
Sharpness
—these settings are saved for the current input
and
the current picture mode. In this
way, the HDMI 1 input’s
Movie
picture mode can be customized and different than the HDMI 2
input’s
Movie
picture mode and Antenna TV’s
Movie
picture mode. Use
Reset picture settings
,
described below, to return the input’s current picture mode to its original values.
