Adjusting Levels for Video Sources

Video sources are adjusted best if a color bar test pattern is
available from the video source: the DVD or VCR player. If not,
you will have to adjust by eye and the “feel” of the picture.
Note: When a video source is selected, Auto Setup Options are not
available. Adjustments must be made manually.

Adjusting the Picture

1 Select a video source in the PICTURE menu.
2 Press LEVEL on the remote to open INPUT LEVELS.
3 Adjust one of the following:
• Any picture from the video source.
• Using a standard SMPTE col or bar pattern from the source.

Adjusting With Color Bars

1 If possible, use a SMPTE color bar pattern from the video
source you will use for the program material.
2In the INPUT LEVELS menu, check BLUE ONLY. You should
see the alternate color bars, all of them blue.
3Adjust
SATURATION to make the outer two color bars
match. Match them in brightness; they will already match
in color.
4Adjust
HUE to make the inner two color bars match.
5 Uncheck BLUE ONLY.
6 If the color bar pat-
tern has a pluge
(Picture Line-Up
Generation Equip-
ment), you can use
it to adjust bright-
ness. Pluge is used
to calibrate the
black level on a
video monitor.
7 Although it’s not
required, it is recommended that you save the configura-
tion to a memory slot. See the Installation Guide for more
information about saving memory slots.

Adjusting Position

Position moves the picture on the screen but does not move the
menus. Press SIZE/POS on the remote once to open the PICTURE
POSITION menu. The four arrow keys move the picture on the
screen.
The numbers for Horizontal and Vertical Position refer to the
number of pixels from sync to the first displayed pixel. These
numbers get smaller as the picture moves up and to the left.
The Horizontal Position number shows the number of pixels
from the beginning of H sync to the first active pixel. Because
there are many black pixels after H sync, this number will not be
zero when the picture is at the left border of the screen.
The Vertical Position number is the number of lines from V sync
to the first active line, so it will not be zero when the picture is at
the top of the screen.
