Adjusting the backlight

To adjust the intensity of your TV’s backlight, press BACKLIGHT to select 'Dark' or 'Bright'.

When viewing the display in dimly lit rooms it is recommended to set the backlight to 'Dark' which will reduce the image brightness and make the dark areas of the image darker thus maintaining a high contrast image in a dark environment.

The backlight adjustment function is not available with the VA261 and VA321 models.
