Adjusting the Picture
(VIDEO CONTROL)
You can adjust the video signal of DVD or VIDEO CD from the player to obtain the picture quality you want. Choose the preset Video Control setting that best suits the programme you are watching, or select “MEMORY” to adjust individual picture items, such as colour, brightness, etc., creating a fixed set of picture item adjustments for the disc in either case.
As long as “PLAYBACK MEMORY” in “CUSTOM SETUP” is set to “ON” (default), the Video Control settings for up to 300 discs remain in the player’s memory, and will be automatically applied whenever you play the same disc. When you store a Video Control setting for the 301st disc, the setting for the 1st disc is cancelled.
