ADJUSTING AN INPUT

6.1.Introduction

When an input channel has been selected, an input type dependent Picture Controls menu can be accessed. Note that for this menu to be fully accessible, a valid video input signal MUST be connected to the chosen video input channel. All settings on the Picture Controls menu are stored separately for each input channel and so do not affect the other inputs. Note: Default settings for many items are dependent on the type of input channel and the type of display device chosen.

To adjust the picture settings, scroll to the Picture Controls menu then press the right navi. key to enter that menu.

MANY SETTINGS ARE SIGNAL-TYPE DEPENDENT. NOT ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE PRESENT FOR EVERY INPUT SIGNAL TYPE, THE LIST BELOW SHOWS ALL POSSIBLE OPTIONS BUT THESE ARE NEVER ALL AVAILABLE SIMULTANEOUSLY SINCE SOME ARE EXCLUSIVE TO ONE INPUT TYPE, SOME ARE EXCLUSIVE TO ANOTHER INPUT TYPE. BE SURE TO HAVE THE CORRECT INPUT SOURCE CONNECTED AND RUNNING, OTHERWISE THE CONTROLS MAY NOT HAVE THE DESIRED EFFECT WHEN THE ACTUAL SIGNAL IS CONNECTED.
