3. Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.
NOTE: Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality video output. If you do not have the correct black and white
levels, your images can appear washed out or can lose detail in shadows when watching darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black
level) and contrast (white level) controls; however it may require a combination of tweaking both the player and your television to get
the optimal result. We recommend using a calibration disc such as the Spears & Munsil™ High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Edition or
Digital Video Essentials HD Basics as aids for adjusting. First adjust the television’s picture controls for the best possible picture. Once
that is done, try changing the player’s settings to further refine the picture to the optimal result.
4. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.
5. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.
6. Sharpness: To set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness is a video processing function that can control the image sharpness but at
the same time may cause unwanted artifacts. For HDMI 1, the sharpness level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level
0, which turns off sharpness enhancement. The negative levels may be used to reduce or eliminate overly sharpened video. However,
the picture may appear soft. The positive levels increase the sharpness.
• At level 1, the player applies low level Detail Enhancement, during which the video processor isolates the detailed parts from
the original image, processes them separately and integrates back before the final output.
• At level 2, the player increases Detail Enhancement to a higher level. Generally, to make an image “sharper”, we recommend
using level 1 and 2.
• At level 3 and above, the player adds Luminance Transition Improvement (LTI) and Chroma Transition Improvement (CTI),
which further sharpen the luminance transition and chroma transition. However, we do not recommend using level 3 and above
unless the source content is poorly produced and blurry.
For HDMI 2 & Analog, the sharpness level can be set between 0 and +2. The default is level 0. The higher the level, the sharper the
video details are. However, too high a sharpness level may cause while line etching around objects.
7. Noise Reduction: To select whether the player shall apply video noise reduction processing. For HDMI 1, the noise reduction level
can be set between 0 and 8. The default is level 0, which turns off noise reduction.
• When set to level 1, the player adjusts the picture quality by reducing the “mosquito noise” (artifacts around the outlines of
objects) and “block noise” (mosaic-like patterns caused by video compression). These two noise reduction are also called
Compression Artifacts Reduction (CAR) and have several levels of aggressiveness.
• When set to level 2, the player applies the Motion Adaptive Video Noise Reduction (VNR), which handles the random noise and
the film-grain noise (natural variation of picture intensity caused by film grain). Its level is automatic because there is a noise
estimator circuitry in the video processor that calculates how much noise presents and adjusts the level of VNR accordingly.
• When set to 3 or 4, the player applies both CAR and Motion Adaptive VNR, with more aggressive “block noise” reduction at
level 4.
• At level 5, the player applies aggressive CAR for low quality video content, and adds Motion Adaptive VNR at level 6.
• At level 7, the player applies the most aggressive CAR for very low quality video, and adds Motion Adaptive VNR at level 8.
Remember that excessive noise reduction may cause a loss of details. We recommend using the noise reduction function only when
you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that has apparent noise artifacts.
For HDMI 2 & Analog, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and +3. The default is level 0. When user increases the level,
the player adjusts the picture quality by applying mosquito noise reduction, random noise reduction and MPEG block noise reduction
at the same time. The higher level user sets, the more aggressive noise reduction functions apply.
The following picture adjustment controls are only available for HDMI 1 video output:
8. Color Enhancement: To select the color enhancement level on the video output. This enhances certain colors in the spectrum and
enables vivid colors in outdoor scenes without causing hue shifts, loss of detail or changes in skin tones.
9. Contrast Enhancement: To select the contrast enhancement level on the video output. This expands detail in shadows.
HDMI Options
HDMI Options are a sub-menu of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to configure some video settings that are unique to the HDMI
output. To enter this sub-menu, select “HDMI Options” from the Video Setup menu. To exit this sub-menu, press the RETURN button
or the LEFT arrow key. The following HDMI options are available:
1. Color Space (HDMI 1) – To select the color space for the HDMI 1 output. The available options are:
• Auto (Recommended) – The player checks with the display device to automatically determine what color space to use. If the
display device supports YCbCr 4:4:4, then it will be used to avoid extra color space conversion.
• RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and normal signal range suitable for video displays.
