Adjusting Levels for Video Sources
Video sources are best adjusted if a color bar test pattern is
available from the video source: the DVD or VCR player. If not,
you will have to adjust by eye and the “feel” of the picture.
Note:
When a video source is selected, Auto Setup Options are not
available. Adjustments must be made manually.
Adjusting the Picture
1 Select a video source in the PICTURE menu.
2 Press
LEVEL on the remote to open INPUT LEVELS.
3 Do one of the following:
Adjust using any picture from the video source.
Adjust using a standard color bar pattern from the source.
Adjusting With Color Bars
1 If possible, use a color bar pattern from the video source
you will use for the program material.
2In the
INPUT LEVELS menu, check BLUE ONLY. You should
see only the alternate color bars, all of them blue.
3Adjust
SATURATION to make the outer two color bars
match. Match them in brightness; they will already match
in color.
4Adjust
HUE to make the inner two color bars match.
5 Uncheck
BLUE ONLY.
6 If the color bar pattern has a
pluge, you can use it to adjust
brightness. Pluge stands for
Picture Line-Up Generation
Equipment. A pluge is used to
calibrate the black level on a
video monitor.
7 Although it’s not required, it is
recommended that you save
the configuration to a mem-
ory slot. See the Installation &
Configuration Guide for more
information about saving memory slots.
Adjusting Position
Position moves the picture on the screen but does not move the
menus. Press
SIZE/POS on the remote once to open the PICTURE
POSITION menu. The four arrow keys move the picture on the
screen.
The numbers for Horizontal and Vertical Position refer to the
number of pixels from sync to the first displayed pixel. These
numbers get smaller as the picture moves up and to the left.
The Horizontal Position number shows the number of pixels
from the beginning of H sync to the first active pixel. Because
there are many black pixels after H sync, this number will not be
zero when the picture is at the left border of the screen.
The Vertical Position number is the number of lines from V sync
to the first active line, so it will not be zero when the picture is at
the top of the screen.
