MAIN MENU

To access the main menu of the On Screen Display press the MENU key on the keypad or the MENU+ or MENU- key on the re- mote control.

The main menu is divided into four windows, PICTURE, IMAGE, SETUP and MENU, in which the various adjustments are grouped according to the frequency of use. Use ￿ and ￿ to select the line corresponding to the adjustment you wish to make (Fig. 19).

The various menus only offer the relevant adjustments in accordance with the type of input signal displayed (e.g. certain typical adjustments for video signals, not necessary for graphic signals, do not appear on the menus, and vice versa).

Some adjustments (e.g. BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST) are associated with a numerical value that can be varied within the set limits using the keys ￿ / ￿. For others (e.g. VIDEO TYPE) you can choose among three options presented on the same

￿/ ￿).

Other adjustments (marked by the < symbol) provide submenus, which appear as a superimposed window in which the selection is made with the ￿ / ￿keys (Fig. 20). .

These submenus are accessed by pressing the ￿ key, while exit and return to the upper level occurs by pressing MENU+/-. Press ESC on the remote control or keypad to interrupt the menu display or wait for it to disappear automatically after the number of seconds set on the SETUP page.

PICTURE

This menu features the adjustments related to picture quality. Adjustments that are not available for a given input do not appear on the menu. Table 4 summarises the adjustments available for each input. For a complete overview of the on- screen menus, consult the ‘On screen menu layout’ in the “Additional Information” section.

BRIGHTNESS

Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without affecting white areas. Increasing the value will give more detail in darker parts of the picture. For correct adjustment it may prove useful to display the signal relative to the grey scale within which the black level and the level immediately above it must be separately identifiable. Alternatively use a scene composed of black objects alongside other dark coloured objects.

CONTRAST

Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without affecting white areas.

To ensure correct adjustment, it may prove useful to display the signal relative to the grey scale, within which the white level and the level immediately below it must be separately identifiable. Alternatively use a scene composed of well-lit white objects surrounded by light coloured objects with lower level lighting.

COLOR

This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases
