Use the controls in the Image Adjust menu to calibrate your PD520 for optimum picture quality.
Planar recommends that setup and calibration be performed by a trained, certified installation technician.
All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each input separately.
Note | When you change a picture quality setting, save the | |
change to a preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will | ||
| ||
| be lost when a different input is selected. (Picture quality | |
| settings are saved for each input and resolution | |
| separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to | |
| Save Settings on page 33. |
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the naked eye and regular program material, Planar recommends using the following calibration tools for best results:
•External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or AVIA test DVD or equivalent.
•A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint adjustments.
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and proceed as follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.
Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture
