Adjust Your HDTV Picture

After using the Setup Wizard, if you feel that your HDTV picture quality needs improvement, you can adjust the HDTV picture display using options within the Quick Settings and General Settings menus.

If you do not need to make an adjustment to your picture quality, skip this section and go to “Making the Most of Your Entertainment Options” on page 12.

Adjust Your Picture Format Using Quick Settings

Because the picture quality of a program is affected by many factors, such as how the program was originally recorded and the method used to broadcast the program, you may find that displaying certain programs in a specific picture format provides the picture quality you prefer.

Note: If your HDTV uses a composite, DVI, or HDMI port, it automatically selects the best picture format for the program you are watching. DVI ports, however, can choose only from the picture formats that your HDTV supports.

Follow these steps to change the picture format.

1.Press Settings. The Quick Settings menu appears.

2.Press Move Upor Move Downto select Picture Format.

3.Press Move Right to select the picture format setting.

4.Press Move Right again to display another picture format setting. Each time you press Move Right, another setting displays.

Note: If you used the Setup Wizard to select picture format settings, those that you selected are available here.

5.Press Select to view the picture with this setting.

6.If necessary, repeat these steps to find a setting that you prefer.
