[. . . ] When this feature is enabled(1), on-screen information from the AV32R is overlaid onto the video signal in the DVD32FLR. The AV32R transmits status messages (press ok with the AV remote control), volume and surround information. It does not send the setup screens of the AV32R. TAGtronic Communications Bus relay standby commands | 29 TAGtronic Communications Bus The DVD32FLR features the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This allows TAG McLaren Audio products to exchange information and work seamlessly together to form an effective, fully integrated system. The DVD32FLR(1) offers at present four configurable features: · · · · relay remote commands synchronise display brightness show AV32R status send standby commands to products connected to the Bus The DVD32FLR can be configured to relay standby commands onto the TAGtronic Bus. This provides a means of putting all products into standby using a single press of standby. Similarly, all products can be brought out of standby using the same key. If the DVD32FLR is configured for autostandby(2), then this too will cause a standby command to be relayed on to the bus. relay remote commands Your DVD32FLR has the capability to relay remote control commands received by its IR receiver onto the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This is ideal when some of your equipment is in a location that does not permit direct line of sight from the Remote and also opens up the possibility of multi-room control. synchronised display brightness Rather than having to individually control the display brightness of each piece of your TAG McLaren Audio system, it is possible to synchronise their brightness to match the display on your DVD32FLR. This not only gives single point control of display brightness, but also allows display appearance to be consistent across all products. 1. This requires DVD32FLR software v3. 6 or higher, AV32R software v3. 6 or higher and 100x5R/250x3R v3. 5 or higher This requires AV32R software version 3. 6 or higher Auto-standby puts the DVD32FLR into standby if it `idles' for a user selectable time. See `first time setup' in the DVD32FLR setup menu for details (on-screen) 30 | test patterns brightness (black level) test patterns | 31 test patterns The DVD32FLR has a in-built test pattern generator to assist you in adjusting your picture, PAL or NTSC, for best performance. Many display devices are wrongly adjusted when leaving the factory because they need to overcome the bright lighting in the show rooms from which they are usually selected. However, once installed at home, the viewing conditions vary considerably from those in the show rooms, hence display devices need re-calibrating. Most important for a perfect picture is the absence of surrounding light in the room, particularly light which can hit the screen. An often suggested low brightness light, placed behind the screen (hence preventing it from reflecting in the screen) should only be used if you want to watch tv leisurely for a long period of time. For best movie presentation, keep the surrounding light intensity as low as possible. It is not just the absence of surrounding light which can improve the performance of your display device, it is also the colour of the walls, as these will also reflect light, emitted (or reflected, when using a front projector) from your screen, `bouncing' it back on to the screen to `wash-out' the picture. The perfect home cinema would be pitch black with no added light in the room!Not the most pleasant of rooms, but highly effective. The result would be great picture quality, assuming the display device is up to the task and adjusted properly. A more practical solution is walls painted in darker colours without a reflective surface. Black is the absence of light, and this is the first parameter you should adjust.
