Black Enhancement

2.It may be necessary to adjust TINT to obtain optimum picture quality when using the COMPONENT VIDEO Y-PBPRinput jacks.

Contrast Mode

Use this function to choose between 3 Contrast Mode settings. Set to Dynamic for darker images more in the level of Black, set to Normal for a balanced White to Black level, and set to Auto for automatic Contrast selection.

Noise Reduction

The NOISE REDUCTION function automatically reduces conspicuous noise in the picture without degrading picture quality. Set NOISE REDUCTION to OFF if the TV experiences picture blocking.

Auto Movie Mode

The AUTO MOVIE MODE function turn ON or OFF the 3:2 PULLDOWN DETECTION SPECIAL FEATURE. Theatrical movies are shot on film at 24 frames or still pictures per second, instead of 30 frames or 60 fields like video. When film is transferred to video for television viewing, the disparity between the two frame rates must be reconciled. This involves a process known as 3:2 pulldown.

When AUTO MOVIE MODE is turned ON from the VIDEO menu, your Hitachi Plasma Television will activate the circuitry for this special feature to improve video performance when watching film based sources.

NOTE: 1. When using Digital, HDMI or DVI input (Ex. 480p, 720p, 1080i), Auto Movie Mode will not be available.

2.All Video settings are independent of each other based on it’s input (Cable/Air, Input 1~5).

Color Management

Use this function to adjust and balance the listed individual colors to make them either deeper or more pure depending on the user’s preference. Adjust the GAIN settings to make the color brighter (+) or darker (-). Adjust the PHASE settings to make the colors deeper (+) or normal (-) to match real life colors.
