OK. Press 1 to go back and select another picture setting

(BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, or SATURATION) as

 

necessary. Repeat steps 7-8 until the picture appears as you

 

want it.

 

• For BRIGHTNESS, choosing a more positive value (+1 to +4)

 

brightens the color on the screen and seems to add white to the

 

picture. Choosing a more negative value (-1 to -4) darkens the

 

colors in the picture. Choose zero (0) for the average setting.

 

• For CONTRAST, choosing a more positive value (+1 to +4) adds

 

more contrast or noticeable difference between the black and white

 

in your picture. Increasing the CONTRAST sharpens the picture.

 

Choose a more negative CONTRAST value (-1 to -4) to blur the

 

distinction between black and white in the picture.The picture will

 

not seem as sharp.

 

• For SATURATION, choose a more positive value (+1 to +4) to

 

increase the color in your picture.You will notice in the menu that

 

as you increase the SATURATION, the blue of the menu is a deeper,

 

brighter blue. However, to decrease the color in the picture, choose

 

a more negative value (-1 to -4). As you adjust this in the menu, you

 

will notice that the menu has the least color at -4, and the picture

 

seems almost black and white. Choose zero (0) to balance the color.
