SHARPNESS adjusts the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. This can be adjusted to the preference of the user. Keep in mind that when SHARPNESS is decreased, fine details in the image will become 'soft'; when it is increased, fine details will become sharper but will also make the picture appear 'noisy' if adjusted too high.

LUMA ENHANCE* acts as an edge enhancement, especially around black to white transi- tions in the image. Essentially, this has the same characteristics as sharpness but affects the edges of objects far more that the rest of the image.

FREQUENCIES HIGH/LOW affect the overall range of the LUMA ENHANCE feature. For example, if using a lower-quality video source such as a VCR, the FREQUENCIES should be set to LOW. For a good quality source such as a DVD player, set FREQUENCIES to HIGH. To set FREQUENCIES, press ENTER while LUMA ENHANCE is on-screen.

CHROMA ENHANCE* acts as an edge enhancement, especially around color transitions in the image. Essentially, this has the same characteristics as sharpness but affects the edges of objects far more that the rest of the image.

FREQUENCIES HIGH/LOW affect the overall range of the CHROMA ENHANCE feature. For example, if using a lower-quality video source such as a VCR, the FREQUENCIES should be set to LOW. For a good quality source such as a DVD player, set FREQUENCIES to HIGH.

To set FREQUENCIES, press ENTER while CHROMA ENHANCE is on-screen.

COLOR TEMPERATURE* sets the overall color balance of the image. When you select color temperature, you’ll have three choices - Temperature1, Temperature2, and Temperature3. Temperature 1 raises the black level and changes the flesh tones slightly towards the green; better for use in a semi-lighted room. Temperature 2 is the default setting; it produces proper flesh tones and black levels for use in a light-controlled environment. Temperature 3 is the same as Temperature 1, but with higher black levels for areas of excess ambient light.

COLOR BALANCE* adjusts the actual grey scale of the image. The ‘Offset’ adjustments affect the darker areas of the image, and the ‘Gain’ adjustments affect the brighter areas of the image. For example, if there is too much red in the dark areas of the image, decrease ‘Red Offset’. If there is too little blue in the brightest areas of the image, increase ‘Blue Gain’.
