PIP Settings menu

PIP Display—Toggles the display of the PIP window.

 

Source—Sets the source of the video used in the PIP window.

 

Position—Sets the position of the PIP window on the main screen.

 

Size—Sets the size of the PIP window.

 

Transparency—Sets the transparency of the PIP window. The PIP window can be from almost transparent

 

to completely opaque. When the PIP window is transparent, you are able to see through the PIP video

 

display to your Windows desktop, which makes it easier to access your computer programs while watching

 

video.

 

Swap—Switches the PIP image to the main image, and the main image to the PIP image.

 

PIP Picture—Opens a menu where you can set the PIP brightness, contrast, saturation, and tint/hue.

Video Adjust menu

Unless otherwise indicated, these settings apply only to SD (standard definition) video at 480i and below.

 

Where “PC input” is indicated, the resolutions that apply are from 800 × 600 to 1680 × 1050.

 

Sharpness—Adjusts sharpness for video images.

 

Video Scaling—Sets video aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, 1:1, and Panoramic modes.

 

PC input: sets resolution aspect ratios and scaling between Wide, Zoom, and 1:1.

 

Wide mode stretches a standard broadcast or full-frame image to fill the entire

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

screen. Widescreen (1.76:1) images fill the entire screen without distortion, while

 

 

 

 

 

widescreen (1.85:1 and 2.35:1) images appear without distortion but with black

 

 

 

 

 

bars at the top and bottom. PC input: Stretches the image to fit the entire screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zoom mode crops off a portion of a widescreen image in order to fill the entire

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

screen with a distortion-free and black bar-free image. PC input: Zooms the

 

 

 

 

image to fill the screen from top to bottom with black bars on the left and right

 

 

 

 

sides of the image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1:1 mode preserves a movie’s original aspect ratio, so a standard broadcast or

 

 

 

 

 

 

full-frame movie appears with black bars on the left and right of the image. PC input:

 

 

 

Preserves the original aspect ratio of the resolution by using black bars on the left

 

 

 

and right sides and variable sizes of black bars on the top and bottom of the image

 

 

 

(depends on resolution).

 

 

 

Panoramic mode uses selective distortion to stretch a standard broadcast or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

full-frame image to fill the entire screen. Unlike Wide mode, Panoramic mode

 

 

 

 

stretches only the left and right sides of the image, and leaves the center of the

 

 

 

 

image distortion free.

 

 

 

 

Overscan—A video signal is often displayed slightly cut off at all edges. If

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

overscan is turned off, you may notice video anomalies on the edges of the video being displayed. This is

 

normal and is part of the data embedded in any broadcast video signal. To avoid seeing these anomalies,

 

turn Overscan on. (Component and HDMI video only)

 

Noise Reduction—Uses noise reduction filters that adapt to the amount of noise and motion from the

 

video source.

 

Film Mode Detection—Film Mode Detection detects frame rates of the source image and adapts the frame

 

rate of the display for ultimate image quality.

 

Bad Edit Detection and Correction—corrects incorrectly synchronized video.

 

Auto Video Enhance—Enables DCDi, Cross Color Reduction, and MADI for optimized video performance.

 

DCDi by Faroudja—Directional Correlation De-interlacing reduces jagged edge artifacts on diagonal lines.

 

Cross Color Reduction—Reduces cross-color artifacts, such as unintentional flashing colors or rainbow

 

patterns, that result from some types of video signals.

 

MADI—Motion-Adaptive De-Interlacing ensures a more static (flicker-free) display image for image sections

 

not containing moving elements, and ensures smoother edges for moving elements.
