COLOUR
This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases the
picture colour intensity. When set to zero, colour images will
be shown in black and white. Increasing the value, try to find
the point at which the colours look natural: suitable references
include skin tones and grass in landscape shots.
TINT
Controls the purity of the colours. Basically determines the red-
green ratio of the picture.
Reducing the value will boost the red contents of the picture,
increasing the value will boost the green tones. For this adju-
stment use skin tones or a test card image with colour bars as
a reference.
SHARPNESS
Use this adjustment to increase and decrease the level of
picture detail.
When the sharpness value is reduced the image details ap-
pear less pronounced, while increasing the value raises image
definition, making the outline of objects sharper.
Note that an excessively high value may result in a “noisy” pic-
ture and the edges of objects may be unnaturally defined.
SHARPNESS MODE
This allows you to select the type of processing associated with
sharpness adjustment. In the case of a progressive or interlaced
video signal VIDEO mode is advisable; with PC graphic signals
use GRAPHIC mode.
FILTER
This allows you to select the mode in which the input signal is
processed. Selecting the most appropriate value for a given
input signal ensures the best horizontal and vertical definition
and makes the picture sharper.
CINEMA MODE
In AUTO the deinterlacer recognises if the video signal source
is a movie film (obtained from a Telecine device with : or
: pull-down) and applies a deinterlace algorithm optimised
for this type of signal.
If the video signal source is not identified as a film, or if you
select NO the deinterlacer applies
a
motion compensated
algorithm optimised for video camera
signals.
VIDEO TYPE
Inserts a filter that improves stability of images from videore-
corders or DVD players. To toggle between NORMAL and VCR
mode, press the
key on the remote control or select the
value on the
On Screen Display
.
NOISE REDUCTION
This adjustment serves to select the noise reduction filter va-
lue.
When the option is selected in the menu the picture is divided
into two. On the left hand side the picture is not affected by the
filter while the filter is active on the right hand side; this makes it
possible to compare the changes resulting from noise filtration
with a clean unfiltered image. IT is possible to deactivate the
filter (NOT ACTIVE) using the automatic (AUTO) setting or manually
(MANUAL) selecting the most suitable value for the picture with
the VALUE adjustment.
In this latter case it is sufficient to position the cursor under the
values and make the required setting with the
◀

keys on the
remote control. A specific function (SKIN TONES ADJUSTMENT)
can be used in conjunction with NOISE REDUCTION in order to
make skin tones appear more natural. In fact, it is frequently
the case that the reduction of noise is accompanied by a
slight degradation of the picture in skin tone areas, while using
this function makes it possible to obtain optimum quality of
the entire picture.
