This  menu  is  called  up  via  the 

  menu,  or  the 

  button  on  the 

FM100. 

A brief press on the button calls up the Video Settings menu. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All settings entered in this menu - apart from screen-saver - are stored for the 
currently  active  video  source,  and  managed  separately  for  each  source.  The 
picture  settings  which you select  for the  active  video  source  are  automatically 
restored every time you switch back to this source. 

 

 

 

Processing 

 

This menu point is used to by-pass the video processor. In the by-pass setting 
the  picture  signals  are  passed  directly  to  the  TV  connected  to  the  system, 
without any processing. 

 

 

3-D Pass-Through 

3-D picture signals cannot be processed by the 

K8

, but can be passed through 

to  the  TV  set  (3-D  Pass-Through  function).  Select  the  “Bypass”  setting  if  you 
are using a source device which delivers 3-D pictures. 

 

 

 

 



Select the Bypass setting if you wish the picture signals to be unprocessed. In 
this case the output signal corresponds pixel-perfect to the input signal. This is 
the best setting for HDMI source devices whose resolution is an exact match to 
the resolution of your video monitor. 

 

 

 

 



Achieving best possible picture quality from Blu-ray and DVD discs 

To achieve absolutely exact, pixel-perfect picture quality from Blu-ray and DVD 
content  generated  by  the  internal  disc  player,  the  K8’s  internal  HDMI  video 
processor is automatically by-passed when a disc is played. The video settings 
menu is therefore not available when the disc player is selected as source. The 
video  settings  for  the  disc  to  be  played  should  be  entered  using  the  disc 
player’s  setup  menu  (see  Chapter 

'

Setup  menu  (Settings) /  Display 

category

'

). 

 

 

 

Brightness 

 

 

Please  adjust  the  brightness  until  black  portions  of  the  picture  are  displayed 
solid black. This adjustment is best carried out using a suitable test card (e.g. 
universal test image). 

 

 

 

Contrast 

 

 

Please adjust the contrast until white portions of the picture are displayed pure 
white. This adjustment is best carried out using a suitable test card (e.g. univer-
sal test image). 

 

 

 

Saturation 

 

 

This  setting  is  used  to  adjust  the  strength  of  colour  in  the  picture.  Select  a 
setting at which the colour reproduction looks natural. Realistic static pictures or 
film sequences are best for this. 

 

 

 

Hue 

 

 

This setting is used to alter the colour balance. This adjustment is also best car-
ried out using realistic pictures, e.g. skin tones.
