BAdjusting the Color Temperature

— COLOR TEMP ADJ Menu

Menu 2 Chapter

Overview

The color temperature is adjusted with the COLOR TEMP ADJ menu. The color temperature can be set either commonly to all channels (STD, COL1 and COL2 menus) or individually for each channel (CH SET menu).

Use the factory setting value or the adjusted value as an original value to shorten the adjustment time.

Color temperature adjustment can be made in the following four ways:

• Knob adjustment (MANUAL menu)

You can adjust the color temperature with the bias and gain knobs.

•Automatic adjustment using a probe (PROBE menu)

You can use the following probes for automatic adjustment of color temperature. Except for the Sony BKM-14L, a cable is required to connect the color analyzer to the monitor.
