Using the TV’s Menu System

Tip:

If the picture is switching screen formats abruptly during normal TV viewing, switch the Autoformat feature off.

Picture Menu

The Picture menu contains menus and controls to configure the following video settings: Advanced picture settings, Picture presets, Black level, Color, Contrast, Sharpness, Color Warmth, Tint, and Display options. The Picture menu options apply to the video for the main TV and video input selections.

Advanced picture settings

Contrast expand You can adjust the contrast of the picture to suit the light of the room. Press the right arrow button to choose which of the following best describes the lighting in the room: Low, Medium or High.

Autoformat When enabled (box checked) the TV automatically detects the screen format the signal is sending for each channel, as well as input channels.

Video noise reduction Reduce picture “static” or any type of interference. This feature is especially useful for providing a clearer picture in weak analog signal conditions. Press the right arrow button to choose between: Off for no noise reduction; Minimum for a softer, smoother picture that retains picture sharpness and detail; Medium for a slightly softer picture than the Minimum setting; Maximum for an even softer, smoother picture than the other settings (the picture detail is somewhat decreased).

Optimized still picture When enabled (box checked), enhances the picture specifically for still frames (for example, if you're watching a slideshow on your HDTV monitor, or if you've paused a frame of a DVD).

Auto Skin Tone When enabled (box checked), minimizes the flesh tone variations of the TV picture.

Film mode (3:2 Pulldown) Automatically detects video sources that were originally recorded on film (like most movies) and subsequently converted to a different format (for TV broadcast, for example). Film mode processes the converted signal so that it looks as close as possible to the original.

Another name for this process is reverse 3:2 pulldown.

Advanced (recommended) enables the feature only when the TV detects that movie playback quality could be improved. Advanced is the default setting.

The On setting should only be used in rare circumstances when the TV is used solely with film-based sources (like DVDs on a non- progressive-scan player).

The Off setting turns off film mode upconversion. Try using this setting if you think the reverse 3:2 pulldown is causing distortions in your picture.

Note: Autoformat and Video noise reduction are available for CMP1 and CMP2 inputs only if the signal is 480i.
