THE MENU SYSTEM
SETTING THE GRAY LEVEL FOR THE SIDES OF THE SCREEN
The GRAY LEVEL function allows you to set the gray level for the sides of the screen where nothing is displayed (on the left and right sides of the screen when it is set to 4:3 size). The level can be adjusted from 0 to 15. The factory setting is 3 (dark gray).
NOTE: Repeated watching with the gray level set to black may effect the quality of your picture. To reduce the effects of uneven phosphor aging, set the gray level to 3 or 4.
To adjust the gray level for the sides of the screen:
1.From the main menu, highlight and select FUNCTION. The FUNCTION menu is displayed.
2.Highlight the GRAY LEVEL option.
3.Use the 
button to scroll through the levels.
4.When the desired gray level is highlighted, press the 
button to return to the FUNCTION menu options. You can continue making adjustments within the FUNCTION menu, press GO BACK to return to the previous menu or press CLEAR to exit the menu system.
SETTING THE BRIGHTNESS LEVEL WITH THE
PLE+INVERSE
The PLE+INVERSE option contains two features in one. These features are used principally for PC operation.
The PLE (Peak Luminance Enhancement) function sets the luminance level to a fixed mode to reduce the effects of phosphor aging.
The INVERSE function works in RGB mode only. INVERSE inverts the video signal, playing the image in a negative format.
PLE+INVERSE has four options:
AUTO – luminance level (contrast) is normal.
AUTO+ON – normal contrast with inverse activated.
LOCK – dims picture to reduce phosphor aging.
LOCK+ON – dims picture to reduce phosphor aging with inverse activated.
The factory setting is AUTO. Setting the PLE+INVERSE option to LOCK dims the picture – the contrast will be lower than normal.
To set the PLE level to LOCK:
1.From the main menu, highlight and select FUNCTION. The FUNCTION menu is displayed.
2.Highlight the PLE+INVERSE option.
3.Use the 
button to select LOCK.
4.Press the 
button to return to the FUNCTION menu options. You can continue making adjustments within the FUNCTION menu, return to the previous menu or press MENU or CLEAR to exit the menu system.
