Prog.Motion – Adjust according to the type of image (moving or still image). This is effective mainly when outputting video materials as progressive images.

Pure Cinema – This setting optimizes the operation of the progressive scanning circuit for playing film materials. Normally set it to Auto1. If the picture seems unnatural, switch this to Auto 2, On or Off (page 40).

YNR – Reduces noise in the luminance (Y) signal.

CNR – Reduces noise in the chroma (C) signal.

BNR – Reduces the block noise (block-shaped distortion generated upon MPEG compression).

MNR – Reduces the mosquito noise (distortion along the contours of the picture generated upon MPEG compression).

Detail – Adjusts the picture’s contours.

White Level – Adjusts the level of the white portions.

Black Level – Adjusts the level of the black portions.

Black Setup – Select the black level as the setup level. Normally select 7.5 IRE. If the black level is too bright due to the combination with the connected TV, select 0 IRE.

Gamma Correction – Adjusts how the dark portions of the picture look.

Hue – Adjusts the balance between green and red.

Chroma Level – Adjusts the density of the colors.

Note

Prog.Motion and Pure Cinema have the effect only for pictures recorded in the interlaced scan format (480i or 1080i signals).
