To revert back to the base mode that you began adjusting the picture settings from, highlight Reset and press T.

Note:

If you select a picture mode other than Pro 1 or Pro 2, the picture qualities you adjusted are automatically saved in the Preference mode (- “Selecting the picture mode,” on the previous page).

If you select picture mode Pro 1 (or Pro 2) and then change a picture quality setting, those values are saved in picture mode Pro 1 (or Pro 2).

Using the TheaterLockfeature

The TheaterLock™ feature allows you to “lock” all items that affect the picture mode setting. In other words, those settings that when adjusted cause the Mode setting to automatically change to “Preference” will be grayed out and unavailable when the TheaterLock setting is set to “On”. Items that do not influence Mode status will not be affected e.g., Noise Reduction, xvYCC Selection, Game Mode, etc.

To turn on TheaterLock:

1 Press Yand open the Video menu.

2 Press B or b to highlight the TheaterLock field, and then press C or c to select On.
