JBL CVR700 Advanced Settings Menu, This menu enables you to precisely adjust the color display

adjust it so that a typical video picture has about the same appearance as the surroundings in the room. That way the eye is relaxed when watching the TV pic- ture. This setting may be reduced when the surrounding light is dimmed, thereby usually improving the sharpness signifi- cantly.

Sharpness: This temperature bar and numerical value (ranging from 0 to 4) reflect the sharpness of the picture. Due to the pixel structure of video images, lowering the sharpness setting will tend to improve the quality of the picture.

Color: This temperature bar and numerical value (ranging from 0 to 31) reflect the saturation of the color. Decreasing this setting to 0 will remove all color and make the picture appear monochrome (black and white). Increasing it will brighten the intensity of the colors. It may be adjusted using a blue filter and color bars. If you do not have access to a test pattern, you may adjust this setting so that red objects are not too bright and fuzzy around the edges.

DNC: This temperature bar and numeri- cal value (ranging from 0 to 15) is used to adjust dynamic noise control. Leave this setting at its factory default, unless you have a video image with interference that is causing video “noise”. This setting may be used to reduce the amount of noise displayed.

The reset line may be used to reset all of the settings in this menu for the current video input.

recommend for most installations. However, you may prefer the colors to appear more blue overall, or more red overall. Select the Cold setting for more blue content, or the Warm setting for more red content. Alternatively, if you prefer to adjust the degree of red, green and blue more precisely, select the USER setting, which will activate user color temperature settings for each color.

Picture Contrast: This set-

ting has three options: Ideal, Light and Dark. The factory default setting is named Ideal, and is what we recom- mend for most installations. However, you may prefer images to appear either lighter or darker.

User Color Temp. red: This setting is only active when the User settings has been selected at the Color Temperature line above. The temperature bar and numeri- cal value (ranging between 0 and 255) reflect the intensity of the red pixels.

User Color Temp. green: This setting is only active when the User settings has been selected at the Color Temperature line above. The temperature bar and numeri- cal value (ranging between 0 and 255) reflect the intensity of the green pixels.

User Color Temp. blue: This setting is only active when the User settings has been selected at the Color Temperature line above. The temperature bar and numeri- cal value (ranging between 0 and 255) reflect the intensity of the blue pixels.

screen, with options of 20, 40 or 60 sec- onds available. It is particularly important with plasma displays to avoid leaving a still image, such as a menu, on screen for an extended period of time, as the image may be “burned” into the screen perma- nently. Therefore, it is not possible to set the menus to remain on screen indefinitely.

On Screen Status time out: This setting allows you to adjust the amount of time the various system status banners remain on screen, or to disable them altogether. These banners appear when a source is selected and a new audio or video signal is detected. The aspect ratio banner will first display the aspect ratio of the source, and then the aspect ratio in which it will be dis- played, depending on how you have con- figured the system. The source banner will display the name of the source, the audio input, and the video input or other information as appropriate. This setting does not affect the status bar displayed by the CVR700’s internal DVD/CD changer when a disc is being played. You may choose to remove the status banners from view after 2, 3, 4, or 5 seconds, or you may choose the Off setting, in which they are not displayed at all.

Show Startup Screen: This setting may be set to On or Off, and it determines whether the JBL logo screen appears when the CVPD50 is powered up.

OSD Transparency: This tem- perature bar reflects whether the Screen menus appear transparent, so that the current video image may be seen behind them (dark square to the left), or opaque, so that they have a black background that blocks any view of the video image (dark square to the right). There is a reset line that may be used to reset the settings in this menu only.

DVD auto picture resize: JBL recommends that you leave this setting in the default “On” posi- tion so that images (video and still) on DVDs, VCDs and JPEG discs will be auto- matically resized by the CVR700 to fill the CVPD50 screen. This setting only applies to the CVR700’s internal disc changer; for
