This state of the art system includes everything you need to experience movie theater quality digital video and audio in the comfort of your own living room. The only thing you need to add is your own TV. We have designed this system to be easy to set up, and even easier to use. [. . . ] Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all bars within the grey scale in the test picture separately and clearly. Adjust the Brightness so that the bars in the gray scale are all visible. The bar furthest to the left has to be as black as possible rather than gray but the next must be clearly distinguishable. All the bars in the gray scale have to be gradually and evenly changing from black to whiter, from left to right. Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright white bar in the lower right corner of the screen and a deep dark black bar at the left. The optimal contrast setting will depend on your preference and the surrounding light in the TV room. If the brightness of the white bar does not increase while turning up the contrast or when the borders of the white letters on top bloom (overlight) into the black areas, drastically decreasing the sharpness of the script, then the Contrast has been turned up too much. Reduce the contrast until these effects disappear and the video still looks realistic. If you are watching TV in daylight, adjust the Contrast so that a normal video picture has about the same look as the surroundings in your room. This relaxes the eye when watching the TV picture. This contrast setting may be reduced when the surrounding light is dimmed, usually improving sharpness. The gray scale in the middle line needs to have the same clear difference between each bar as before the contrast adjustment. If not, go back to the brightness adjustment and repeat step 3 and then the contrast adjustments, making only minor adjustments each time for optimisation. Color adjustment. When Brightness and Contrast are set optimally, turn up the color control. Adjust to the level where the colors look strong but still natural, not overdone. If the color level is too high, depending on the TV used some of the bars will seem wider or the color intensity will not increase when the control is turned up. Then the color control must be reduced again. At the end you should test the color intensity also with a video, e. g. pictures of natural faces, flowers, fruit and vegetables and other well known natural articles for an optimal setting of the color intensity. If your TV has a Tint option (with most European TVs this is available or effective only with NTSC signals, not with PAL), use the large white bar below the Grayscale to tweak the warmth of the picture. Every viewer has a difference in preference. Some prefer a little colder picture, some a warmer glow. [. . . ] The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS and/or PCM, allowing you to enjoy more natural audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as multi-angle, multilingual, and subtitles may be provided with the DVD. [. . . ]
