Operation

Input Image: The Input Image controls are functionally similar to those in the Picture menu (refer to page 58), but are accessible only by entering the Calibration menu passcode.

The Input Image settings establish the “zero point” for the Picture

Note menu settings, whose values represent offsets from the Input Image settings. For example, if you set Brightness to 10 in this menu, setting Brightness to 10 in the Picture menu results in an actual setting value of 20 (10+10).

Input Color: The Input Color controls are similar to those in the Display Color menu (see above), but adjust the color balance of the incoming signal. These settings are also saved independently for each input and display mode.

•Gain/Offset (HD1, HD2 and Component/SCART inputs only): These controls operate similarly to those in the Display Color menu (described on page 65), but affect the Y, Pb and Pr signal components rather than the red, green and blue channels.

•Chroma Delay: use the Chroma Delay control to correct a mis-aligned image from a Composite or S-Video source. Chroma delay in an image causes color shifts to occur to the left of the vertical edge transitions, producing artificial shadows or a “halo” effect. If necessary, adjust this setting to eliminate them.

•Noise Filter: To apply noise filtering to the input signal, select Noise Filter from the Input Color menu. The Noise Filter is useful for clearing up noisy images from 480i video sources.

Use the left- or right-arrow buttons to select the desired amount of noise reduction, keeping in mind that higher settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also “soften” the image.

Save ISF Night/Save ISF Day: Whenever you make a change to the ISF settings, you should always save it. Select Save ISF Night or Save ISF Day from the Calibration menu to do this.

Copy/Paste: You can copy and paste settings from one memory location to another. This gives you a convenient starting point for creating a new preset based on an existing one, to make the calibration process less time-consuming.

For example, you can use the Copy/Paste feature to:

•Apply settings from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2, or from HD1 to HD2.

•Calibrate an input for 720p source signals, then use those settings for 1080i sources.

•Duplicate ISF Night settings for a given source and signal format and save them in the “Custom” memory preset.

To use this feature, select Copy/Paste from the Calibration menu.

•Copy Settings: Select Copy Settings from the Copy/Paste menu to place the settings for the current input source, signal format (resolution and frame rate) and memory preset onto a “clipboard,” which is a temporary memory location. When you do, the message “Settings Copied” briefly appears on-screen. The Copy/Paste menu then re-appears, indicating the source of the copied settings.

Copied settings are not retained after a power cycle.
