■Picture Mode*1*3

`Custom:

All settings can be performed manually.

`ISF Day:

Select when the room is bright.

`ISF Night:

Select when the room is dark.

`Cinema:

Select when the picture source is a movie or alike.

`Game:

Select when the video source is a game console.

`Streaming:

Attempts to reduce the mosquito noise and block artifact effects.

`Through:

Does not adjust picture quality (changes resolution).

`Direct:

Does not adjust picture quality (does not change resolution). The video coming from an analog input and output by the HDMI output is processed in the same way as “Through”.

With “Picture Mode”, you can change the following settings to be suitable for the movie or game screen by one operation; “Game Mode”, “Film Mode”, “Edge Enhancement”, “Noise Reduction”, “Mosquito NR”,

“Random NR”, “Block NR”, “Resolution”,

“Brightness”, “Contrast”, “Hue”, “Saturation”, “Color Temperature”, “Gamma”, “Red Brightness”, “Red Contrast”, “Green Brightness”, “Green Contrast”, “Blue Brightness” or “Blue Contrast”.

The receiver has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal picture quality from the receiver. Accordingly, Onkyo recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF Certified installation technician.

■Game Mode*4*5*6

`Off

`On

If video signal delay occurs during playback on a video component (i.e., game console), select the corresponding input source and set the “Game Mode” setting to “On”. The delay will decrease but in return the picture quality will become poor.

■Film Mode*4*6

`Video:

“Film Mode” detection is not applied and the input signal is handled as a video source.

`Auto:

Detects whether the input signal is a video or a movie. If it is a movie, the appropriate conversion is applied.

The AV receiver will adjust to the picture source, automatically converting it to the appropriate progressive signal and reproducing the natural quality of the original picture.
