Use the controls in the Picture Menu to calibrate your SC-1 for optimum picture quality.

The SC-1 has been designed to incorporate setup and calibration standards established by the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF). The ISF has developed carefully crafted, industry-recognized standards for optimal video performance and has implemented a training program for technicians and installers to use these standards to obtain optimal picture quality from Runco video display devices. Accordingly, Runco recommends that setup and calibration be performed by an ISF certified installation technician.

All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate each DHD Controller input separately. Runco recommends calibrating the inputs in this order:

1.Component SD

2.S-Video 1 / S-Video 2

3.Composite

4.HD/RGB 1 / HD/RGB 2

5.DVI 1 / DVI 2

When you change a picture quality setting, save the change to a

Note preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will be lost when a different input is selected. (Picture quality settings are saved for

each input separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to ISF Presets on page 76.
