Adjusting Input Levels

6If you have more than one source coming through the same connector, adjust Input Levels for each source.

Adjusting Levels for Video Sources

Video sources are best adjusted if a color bar test pattern is available from the video source: the DVD or VCR player. If you do not have access to a color bar test pattern, you will have to adjust the picture by eye from the video source using the INPUT

LEVELS menu.

Note: When a video source is selected, Auto Setup Options are not available. Adjustments must be made manually.
