Setup Menu Options Lexicon

You can continue adjusting the current parameter by pressing the LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons. To select another parameter, press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons. Press the ENTER button to return to the large Picture Adjustment menu.

To exit the Picture Adjustment menu and return to the Setup Menu, either select “Exit” or press the RETURN button.

The following picture adjustment controls are available:

1.Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.

2.Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.

Note

Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality video output. If you do not have the correct black and white levels, your images can appear washed out or can lose detail in shadows when watching darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black level) and contrast (white level) controls; however, it may require a combination of tweaking both the player and your television to get the optimal result. We recommend using a calibration disc such as Digital Video Essentials HD Basics as aids for adjusting. First adjust the television’s picture controls for the best possible picture. Once that is done, try changing the player’s settings to further refine the picture to the optimal result.

3.Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output. This control only applies to analog video output (component and composite).

4.Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.

5.Detail Enhancement (Sharpness): To set the sharpness of video output. Detail enhancement level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0. Level 0 turns off detail enhancement. The negative levels may be used to reduce or eliminate overly sharpened video; however, the picture may

appear soft. The positive levels increase the enhancement. The higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However, too high a sharpness level may cause white line etching around objects. Detail Enhancement can be used together with Edge Enhancement to achieve an optimal result.

6.Edge Enhancement (Edge-Qualified Sharpness): To set the sharpness of object edges in the video. Edge enhancement level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0. Level 0 turns off edge enhancement. The negative levels reduce the sharpness of object edges. The positive levels sharpen object edges. Edge Enhancement can be used together with Detail Enhancement to achieve an

optimal result.

Detail Enhancement and Edge Enhancement produce similar results, but there are subtle differences. Detail Enhancement works best when the source material is “clean” and free from noise. Edge Enhancement works well for less pristine sources. It produces a sharpening effect without making noise more visible.

It is also possible to adjust these two controls in different directions to achieve optimal results from certain “difficult” materials. You may use Detail Enhancement to bring up detail in the entire image but, if you find that object edges are over enhanced, you can apply negative Edge Enhancement to reduce the over-enhancement of the edges.

Sharpness (Detail/Edge Enhancement) is a video processing function that can produce a sharper-looking picture but at the same time may cause unwanted artifacts. The Lexicon BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player utilizes the fine detail and edge enhancement technology from VRS™ (Video Reference Series) by Anchor Bay for its HDMI output. This technology provides fine control to achieve an optimal balance between enhancing sharpness and minimizing unwanted artifacts. If the source content is properly produced, we generally recommend leaving these controls at level 0.
