AUTO COLOR

Auto Color displays a choice list that lets you turn on the feature that automatically corrects the color of the picture when you are viewing analog channels. This is especially useful for tracking realistic flesh tone colors as you switch from channel to channel. Choose On or Off, depending on your preference.

COLOR WARMTH

Color Warmth displays a choice list that lets you set one of two automatic color adjustments: Cool for a more blue palette of picture colors, and Warm for a more red palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to the NTSC standard of 7500ºK and the cool setting corresponds to 9300ºK.

NOISE FILTER

You can turn Noise Filter on or off. When turned on, the television produces a cleaner, smoother picture by reducing picture “static” or any type of interference. This is especially useful for providing a cleaner picture in weak signal conditions. When Noise Filter is on, picture detail is somewhat decreased.

AUTO CONVERGE

Selecting Auto Converge begins a process which aligns the blue, green, and red picture tubes to produce the best picture quality. These tubes may have shifted since it was manufactured. If your picture seems fuzzy or has a yellow tint, running Auto Converge could fix this problem.

THEATRE

Theatre allows you to set picture quality controls to a predetermined setting suitable for a theatre-type environment, such as a dark room. You may want to turn the Theatre option on when viewing movies because the color temperature of movie film has a red tint, lower contrast, and reduced sharpness that live video does not. Selecting the Theatre option causes the picture to approach the “look” of an actual film.

RESET CONTROLS

Allows you to reset all picture quality controls to their original defaults.

While running Auto Converge, you may notice that flashing letters change to dashes to indicate progress. The Auto Converge process takes several minutes.

When Theatre is selected:

•picture controls are dimmed for a low light setting

•auto color is turned on

•color warmth is set to warm

•noise filter is turned on
