You must enter a passcode to access the ISF Calibration menu.

Note

Picture Adjust: The controls in this menu are identical to those in the main Picture Adjust menu, but are accessible only by entering the ISF Calibration menu passcode.

•Sharpness: Refer to Sharpness on page 34.

•ADC Phase Adj.: This control works similarly to the Phase adjustment for RGB signals (refer to Phase on page 38). Use it to improve the apparent sharpness of 720p and lower-resolution Component, S-Video or Composite sources. For best results, adjust ADC Phase while displaying a “Sharpness” pattern (Figure 4-5).

the ISF Calibration menu.)

•Gamma: Refer to Gamma on page 35.

•Black Level: This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels present in certain video signals. The default setting (32) results in a minimum black level of approximately 0 IRE. Adjust as needed to match the dynamic range of the source; increase the value if blacks appear elevated (dark gray). If blacks appear “crushed” (too dark), use a lower settting.
