Adjusting the picture items in “MEMORY”

You can adjust each element of the picture qualities individually.

•DVE (digital video enhancer): Sharpens or softens the outlines of the images. “SOFT” is available only for DVDs.

•BNR (block noise reduction): Reduces “block noise” or mosaic like patterns in the picture.

•Y NR (luminance noise reduction): Reduces noise contained in the luminance element of the video signal.

•C NR (chroma noise reduction): Reduces noise contained in the color element of the video signal.

•CHROMA DELAY:

Adjusts colors that appear to have shifted horizontally.

•AV ALIGNMENT:

Adjusts delay between the picture and sound.

• PROGRESSIVE 1:

Sets a threshold at which the player

 

determines the progressive conversion

 

method.

 

When “COMPONENT OUT” in “SCREEN

 

SETUP” is set to “PROGRESSIVE,” the

 

player automatically detects whether the

 

software is video based or film based, and

 

converts the video signals in the

 

corresponding progressive conversion

 

method. When the set point is closer to

 

“VIDEO,” the video based software

 

conversion is more likely to be selected;

 

when closer to “FILM,” the film based

 

conversion is the likely choice. When set

 

specifically to “VIDEO,” the video based

 

software conversion will be always applied

 

regardless of the software type.

 

See “Glossary” for details about the video

 

based software and film based software

 

(page 82).
