[. . . ] The menu may also be accessed from the Info Settings menu. NOTE: The settings in the Video Modes menu affect each source independently. Figure 33 ­ Video Modes Menu Video Mode: The default setting of Off passes the video signal through to the display without any picture processing. Video scaling cannot be turned off, but selecting the HDMI Bypass mode in the Info Settings menu for a source connected to one of the HDMI Inputs passes the video signal directly from the HDMI Input to the HDMI Output, bypassing all video processing. Select one of these processing options to optimize the picture for the current program by applying adjustments to the brightness, contrast, color and sharpness: · Sports: For sporting events. · Nature: For programs shot outdoors, in a natural setting. · Movie: For movies and many television broadcasts. · Custom: Allows manual adjustment of the picture settings. The Brightness, Contrast, Color and Sharpness settings appear as sliders with values ranging from 0 to 100. The default setting for each adjustment is 50. Use the M N Buttons to change each setting's value. Figure 34 ­ Advanced Video Modes Menu 9 ADVANCED FuNCTIONS Noise Reduction: Adjust this setting to Low, Medium or High to filter out signal noise, or turn it off. MPEG Noise Reduction: This setting is designed to address two specific types of video distortion, mosquito noise and blocking artifacts. Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all gray scale bars separately and clearly. Adjust the brightness so that the bars in the gray scale are all visible. The bar farthest to the left has to be as black as possible rather than gray but the next gradation must clearly be distinct from it. The bars in the gray scale should gradually and evenly change from black to white. Contrast Adjustment 1. 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 to the left. If the brightness of the white bar no longer increases when the contrast is turned up or the borders of white letters bloom (overlight) into the black areas (drastically decreasing the sharpness of the type), 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 with ambient daylight, adjust the contrast so that a normal video picture looks the same as the surroundings in your room; that way the eye is relaxed when watching the TV picture. Reduce the setting when the surrounding light is dimmed to improve the sharpness of the picture. The gray scale in the middle line should retain the same distinction between each bar as before the contrast adjustment. If not, repeat both Step 3 of the Brightness Adjustment and the Contrast Adjustment. How to adjust the custom picture Settings Set the Video Mode to Custom to display the picture settings, as shown in Figure 35. Color Adjustment 1.
