ADJUSTING TV CONTROLS

NOISE FILTER

Noise filter displays a list that lets you set one of three automatic settings that allows you to reduce picture “static” or any type of interference. You can set Noise Filter to Off, Low, or High.

Off When set to Off, no noise reduction occurs.

Low When set to Low, the television produces a softer, smoother picture and retains picture sharpness and detail. This is especially useful for providing a cleaner picture in weak analog signal conditions.

High When set to High, the television produces an even softer, smoother picture. This is especially useful for providing a cleaner picture in weak analog signal conditions. However, when Noise Filter is on High, picture detail is somewhat decreased.

CONVERGENCE

Convergence is available in model P61310 only. Selecting Convergence lets you adjust the TV’s tubes. When the TV tubes’ images are precisely aligned, they create the color images you see on the screen. Over time, the picture can drift out of alignment. If your picture seems fuzzy or has a yellow tint, using Convergence could correct this misalignment.

Once you are in the Convergence menu, selecting Auto Converge will cause the monitor to self-correct color images. For best results, leave the TV turned on for 30 minutes before running Auto Convergence. Selecting Blue Centering or Red Centering begins a process that lets you align the red and blue picture tubes to produce the best picture quality. Use the arrows on the remote control to adjust the red and blue projection tubes until the test patterns on the TV screen appear white.

PICTURE TILT

Picture Tilt is available in model F383190 only. Your TV has an extra-large picture tube, which makes it vulnerable to the effects of the Earth’s magnetic field. You may need to adjust picture tilt. Use the left and right arrows to adjust the picture tilt.

PICTURE PRESETS

Picture Presets displays a choice list that lets you select one of three preset picture settings: Bright Lighting, Normal Lighting, Soft Lighting, or Personal Picture Preset. Based on the degree of lighting in your room, you should choose Bright, Normal, or Soft Lighting. After you select one, the contrast, color tint, black level, and sharpness settings found under the Picture Settings menu are automatically adjusted according to your selection.

RESET CONTROLS

Allows you to reset all picture quality controls to their original defaults.

If you choose Personal Picture Preset, you can customize color, tint, black level, and sharpness to your desired level, and the television “saves” those settings. After you’ve done this, it allows you to go back into the menu and select Bright, Normal, or Soft Lighting when you need to without losing your customized settings. For example, if you normally use Personal Picture Preset but wanted to watch a show in Bright Lighting today, you can choose Bright Lighting now, watch the show, and then afterwards return to your customized settings by choosing Personal Picture Presets again.
