Note

You can also press AV SELECTION on the remote control to change the viewing option.

If you have selected “DYNAMIC”, you cannot select “Contrast”, “Brightness”, “Colour”, “Tint”, “Sharpness”, “Pro Adjust”, and “Reset”; these menu items are dimmed.

If you have selected “OPTIMUM”, you cannot select “Pro Adjust”; menu items in “Pro Adjust” are dimmed.

As “OPTIMUM” automatically optimizes image quality, the process in which image settings such as brightness and tint gradually change may be seen on the screen. This is not a malfunction.

When “OPTIMUM” is selected, images are reproduced based on the information collected at the Room Light Sensor as well, regardless of its setting (“On” or “Off”) for the “Option” menu.
