Optimizing video images

After the video device is connected properly and the image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general informa- tion regarding menu usage, see page 27.

•Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture menu. See page 28.

•Change the Aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your input source. See page 28.

•Select a Sharpness setting in the Advanced menu. See page 30.

•Select a different Color Temperature, or use the Color Control to indi- vidually adjust the intensity of the red, green, and blue color. See page 30.

•Select a different Video Standard. Auto tries to determine the standard of the incoming video. Select a different standard if necessary. See page 30.

•Turn overscan on to remove noise around the video image. See page 30.

•Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these settings later. See page 29.
