Operation

Color Space: Select Color Space from the Picture Adjust menu to choose the color space of the source signal for HDMI, RGB and component connections.

The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:

HDMI/DVI-D:If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or range data, the Vision 15 uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the Vision 15 uses the RGB-Videocolor space. For component SDTV and EDTV resolutions, SDTV is used. For other component video resolutions, HDTV is used.

DVI-A:If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the Vision 15 uses the RGB-PCcolor space. Otherwise, SDTV is used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and HDTV for all other sources.

Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the Vision 15 uses the SDTV color space. For all other resolutions HDTV is used.

In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not, you can force the Vision 15 to use a specific color space. Choose one of the following:

HDTV sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.

SDTV sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.

RGB-PCuses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at 255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit image.

RGB-Videouses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at 235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit image, to correspond to the luminance values defined in digital component standards.

BrilliantColor™: Select BrilliantColor™ from the Picture Adjust menu to enable (On) or disable (Off) BrilliantColor processing, which improves brightness in grays and secondary colors by using the spoke light from the color wheel.

Black Level: Select Black Level from the Picture Adjust menu to compensate for incoming elevated black levels present in some Composite video and S-Video sources. (This control does not affect other source types.) Set it to 0 IRE if blacks appear elevated (dark gray). If blacks appear “crushed” (too dark), set it to 7 IRE.

Save Settings: To store changes to picture quality settings for the current input and resolution in the “Custom” Picture Memory, select Save Settings from the Picture Adjust menu. To recall this preset at a later time, press the CUST button on the remote control or select “Custom” from the Picture Memory menu (see above).

You should save changes to any of the following settings to a preset; otherwise they will be lost when a new input source or resolution is selected:

Aspect ratio (saved per source)

Picture adjustments (brightness, contrast, color saturation, tint, sharpness, gamma, color temperature, color space, BrilliantColor™ and Black Level)

RGB/YUV signal settings (H. Position, V. Position, Clock, Phase)

Setup menu settings (Sync Threshold, DNR, Film Mode, Lamp Power)

White Balance settings (gain and offset)

To store changes to the ISF Night or ISF Day Picture Memory preset, select

Note Save Settings in the ISF menu (refer to ISF on page 50). You must enter a passcode to access the ISF menu.

Reset to Defaults: To reset all picture quality settings for the current input and resolution to their factory-default values, select Reset to Defaults from the Picture Adjust menu.
