Use the controls in the Image Adjust menu to calibrate your PD520 for optimum

picture quality.

Planar recommends that setup and calibration be performed by a trained,

certified installation technician.

All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate

each input separately.

Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the

naked eye and regular program material, Planar recommends using the

following calibration tools for best results:
• External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or

AVIA test DVD or equivalent.

• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint

adjustments.

Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and

proceed as follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.

Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE

is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-2 shows a

typical PLUGE pattern.

When you change a picture quality setting, save the

change to a preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will

be lost when a different input is selected. (Picture quality

settings are saved for each input and resolution

separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to

Save Settings on page 33.
