the picture colour intensity. When set to zero, colour images will be shown in black and white. Increasing the value, try to find the point at which the colours look natural: suitable referen- ces include skin tones and grass in landscape shots.
TINT
Controls the purity of the colours. Basically determines the
Reducing the value will boost the red contents of the pictu- re, increasing the value will boost the green tones. For this adjustment use skin tones or a test pattern image with colour bars as a reference.
SHARPNESS
Use this adjustment to increase and decrease the level of picture detail.
When the sharpness value is reduced the image details appear less pronounced, while increasing the value raises image definition, making the outline of objects sharper.
Note that an excessively high value may result in a ‘noisy’ picture and the edges of objects may be unnaturally defined.
SHARPNESS MODE
This allows you to select the type of processing associated with sharpness adjustment. In the case of a progressive or in- terlaced video signal VIDEO mode is advisable; with PC graphic signals use GRAPHIC MODE.
FILTER
This allows you to select the mode in which the input signal is processed. Selecting the most appropriate value for a given input signal ensures the best horizontal and vertical definition and makes the picture sharper.
CINEMA MODE
In AUTO the deinterlacer recognises if the video signal source is a movie film (obtained from a Telecine device with 3:2 or 2:2
If the video signal source is not identified as a film, or if you select NO the deinterlacer applies a Motion compensated al- gorithm optimised for video camera signals.
VIDEO TYPE
Activates a filter to improve stability of pictures from video re- corders or DVD players. To toggle between NORMAL, VCR1 mode
and VCR2 mode press 
on the remote control.
NOISE REDUCTION
This adjustments allows to choose the filter value for noise reduction purposes.
As soon as this option is selected on the menu, the image is divided in two parts.
In the left side the image is not altered by the filter, in the right part the filter is activated.
This allows you to compare the effect of the filter.
It is possible to deactivated the filter (NOT ACTIVE), to use the automatic adjustments (AUTO) or to manually select (MANUAL) the value suitable for the image with the VALUE adjustment.
In case of using the VALUE adjustement, it is enoght to select to cursor below and set the value with the fl / ‡ keys of the remote control.
Associated to the NOISE REDUCTION there is the possibility to use the specific function (FLESH TONE CORRECTION) to make skin tone more natural. Often the use of noise reduction filter slightly degrades the image in those areas where skin tones are visible. With the use of this function it is possible to maintain an excellent image quality throughout the entire projected image.
