•Sharpness – Adjusts the sharpness of the mid-frequency (less detailed) elements in the picture.

•Contrast – Adjusts the contrast between light and dark elements in the picture.

•Brightness – Adjusts the overall brightness of the picture.

•Chroma Level – Adjusts how saturated colours appear.

•Hue – Adjusts the overall colour balance between red and green.

•Video on a DVD discs may be either video material (originally shot on video) or film material (originally shot on film). Video material has a frame rate of 30 frames/sec.(NTSC), compared with 24 frames/sec. for film. This player converts film material to 60 frames/sec. (in progressive scan mode). PureCinema adjusts the picture so that it matches more closely the picture quality of a cinema screen.

You can see whether video on a DVD disc is film or video material by display- ing the video transmission rate (see page 45). If a hash mark (#) appears next to the transmission rate display, it is film material.
