6. IP Setting

 

 

To determine how the player obtains its IP address. The available options

are:

 

 

Auto (DHCP) - The player automatically obtains its IP address information

using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). This is the default

setting. In most cases, automatic IP configuration is best and requires no

user intervention.

 

 

Manual – Manually enter the numeric IP address information. For more

information on how to manually configure the Internet connection and

what values to use, please consult your broadband router/modem

 

instruction manuals or call your Internet service provider.

"IP

IP Address – The Internet Protocol address of the player. When

Configuration " is set to

"Auto (DHCP) ", the value displayed here is

obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

 

Subnet Mask – Each IP address has an associated subnet mask. It is

used by the player to decide whether to route network traffic through the

router or directly to another device on the same network. When

"IP

Setting" is set to "Auto (DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

Gateway – The IP address of the router. It is also called "default gateway" or "default router". When "IP Setting" is set to "Auto (DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

DNS 1 – The IP address of the first (primary) DNS (Domain Name System) server. DNS is the mechanism to translate human-readable addresses to numeric IP addresses. When "IP Setting" is set to "Auto (DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

DNS 2 – The IP address of the second (secondary) DNS server. When "IP Setting" is set to "Auto (DHCP)", the value displayed here is obtained using DHCP and cannot be changed.

7. Proxy Setting

To configure the proxy server settings. A proxy server works as an intermediary for network communication between clients and other servers, which can provide benefits like security, anonymity, speedup or circumventing regional restrictions.

On – To access the Internet via a proxy server.

Proxy Host: To enter the proxy host name using the remote control.

Proxy Port: To enter the proxy host port number using the remote control.

Off (default) – Do not use a proxy server.

8. Connection Test

To test the Internet connection. It is recommended that you test the connection when you initially connect the player to the Internet, or whenever changes to "IP Setting" and other network parameters are made.

Picture Adjustment

Picture Adjustment is a special section of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to fine tune many picture control parameters in order to achieve the optimal picture quality and visual result. To use Picture Adjustment, press the Setup button on the remote control to enter the player’s Setup Menu, and then choose "Video Setup" – "Picture Adjustment", then select the primary video output terminal. The Setup Menu will be replaced by the Picture Adjustment menu:

For information on how to choose your primary video output, please refer to Primary Output section of this manual.

Depending on your primary video output, the detailed Picture Adjustment menu will be slightly different as HDMI1 uses the Marvell QDEO scaler which has more sophisticated features and algorithms for adjustment as below.

To change a picture adjustment parameter, use the ￿/￿ buttons to

highlight the parameter, and use the ￿/￿ buttons to change its value.

To aid in the adjustment of picture control parameters, the picture

adjustment menu will be reduced to only show the parameter being

adjusted once you press the ￿/￿ buttons. The reduced menu will be

positioned near the bottom of the screen.

You can continue adjusting the current parameter by pressing the￿/￿

buttons. To select another parameter, press the￿/￿ buttons. Press the

Enter button to return to the large Picture Adjustment menu.

To exit the Picture Adjustment menu and return to the Setup Menu, either

select "Exit" or press the Return button.

The following picture adjustment controls are available, for HDMI1,

HDMI2 and Component video:

Picture Mode – The 651/751BD allows you to save up to three (3)

customized video modes.

Press the ￿/￿ buttons to switch the mode and all parameters will be

automatically adjusted to their stored values. Changes to the current

parameter values will be stored automatically when you exit the Picture

Adjustment screen or, switch to another Picture Mode.

Brightness – To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.

Contrast – To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.

Note: Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality

video output. If you do not have the correct black and white levels, your

images can appear washed out or can lose detail in shadows when

watching darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black level) and

contrast (white level) controls; however it may require a combination of

tweaking both the player and your television to get the optimal result.

First adjust the television’s picture controls for the best possible picture.

Once that is done, try changing the player’s settings to further refine the

picture to the optimal result.

Hue – To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.

Saturation

–To adjust the saturation (colour intensity level) of the video

output.

– To set the sharpness of the video output (Detail/Edge

Sharpness

Enhancement), this a video processing function that can control the image sharpness but if overdone may cause unwanted artifacts.

For HDMI 1, the sophisticated QDEO video scaler is used sharpness level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0, which turns off sharpness enhancement. The negative levels may be used to reduce or eliminate overly sharpened video, the picture being progressively softened.

The positive levels increase the sharpness. At level 1, the player applies low level Detail Enhancement, during which the video processor isolates the detailed parts from the original image, processes them separately and integrates back before the final output. At level 2, the player increases Detail Enhancement to a higher level. Generally, to make an image “sharper”, we recommend using level 1 and 2. At level 3 and above, the player adds Luminance Transition Improvement (LTI) and Chroma Transition Improvement (CTI), which further sharpen the luminance transition and chroma transition. However, we do not recommend using level 3 and above unless the source content is from a poor source.
