IMPORTANT:
Before adjusting these items as described below, go to “Pre-
set” and select one of the three options “Voice”, “Music” and
“Concert”. Any adjustments made to other items at this point will
affect only the option selected. It is advisable to repeat these
settings for each of the available options (“Voice”, “Music” and
“Concert”).
Thereafter, during the course of everyday use, you can access
these three options and select the one best suited to the nature
of the sound in the broadcast you happen to be viewing: select
“Voice” to enhance the spoken word, “Music” for sounds other
than the human voice, and “Concert” for music rich in bass and
treble tones.
The available options are:
- “Volume”; “Balance”: for these two functions, refer to the
directions on previous pages.
- “Treble”: used to adjust the relative volume of high frequen-
cies.
- “Bass”: used to adjust the relative volume of low frequencies.
IMPORTANT: these two settings can be replaced by a full
equalization, which is activated from the “Equalizer” sub-menu
by selecting “On”. Five options are presented, each relative to
a given band of frequencies:
- “100 Hz”;
- “330 Hz”;
- “1000 Hz”;
- “3300 Hz”;
- “10000 Hz”;
Select the frequency you want to adjust and set the level as
preferred, remembering that bass frequencies are adjusted in
the “100 Hz” band, treble frequencies in the “10000 Hz” and
mid-range frequencies in the three intermediate bands.
VIDEO ADJUSTMENTS
The adjustments described in this section apply to all video
sources, with the exception of the signal coming from the AV
GRAPHIC socket ports.
Video menu functions
The quality of the picture appearing on the screen can be
improved by making a number of selections and adjustments
from the Video menu (button [5]). Scroll through the menu to
“Preset” and select one of the available options: “Day Light”,
“Ave.Value” and “Night Light”.
IMPORTANT: it is advisable to repeat all the following adjust-
ments (as far as the section “Hue”), for each option available
(“Day Light”, “Ave. Value” and “Night Light”). Thereafter, during
the course of everyday use, you can access these three options
and select the one best suited to the nature of the light in your
viewing room, or to particular visual aspects of the television
programme you happen to be watching. Select “Day Light” if
the room is brightly lit, “Night Light” if the room is dimly lit, and
“Ave. Value” if the light is substantially normal.
Note on the “Ave. Value” setting: the ideal values for
this option are factory-set. If you have changed these values
and want to restore the original factory settings, proceed as
follows:
1) Display the Other Functions menu [3].
2) Scroll through the menu to “Ave. settings” and press the
left or right arrow [24 or 23]: the caption “On” appears,
confirming that the factory settings have been restored.
You can now adjust the settings of the Video menu:
- BRIGHTNESS: increasing the value (moving the control from
left to right) will lighten the darker tones of the picture and
show up the detail of darker areas more clearly, whereas
decreasing the value darkens the lighter tones. The bri-
ghtness control does not affect colours; it only makes the
picture lighter or darker.
- CONTRAST: increasing the value (moving the control from left
to right) will accentuate the difference between light areas
and dark areas of the picture and render tone gradations
more evident. Decreasing the value on the other hand will
darken the lighter areas of the picture and lighten the darker
areas, dulling tone gradations and consequently producing
a ‘flatter’ image.
- COLOUR: increasing the value (moving the control from left
to right) will make colours brighter and maximise saturation,
whereas decreasing the value minimises colour saturation
to the point that the picture becomes black and white. The
colour control does not affect brightness or contrast, only
chrominance.
- SHARPNESS: increasing the value (moving the control from
left to right) will accentuate the outlines in the picture, whe-
reas decreasing the value softens the outlines, giving the
picture less definition. If sharpness is set too high, the picture
may become ‘noisy’ and outlines may be accentuated to the
point of looking unnatural.
- HUE: if the incoming video signal is NTSC (the colour co-
ding system used in some countries, such as Japan and
