If you have more than one source coming through the same connector, adjust
input levels for each source.
Adjusting Levels for Video Sources
Video sources are best adjusted if a color bar test pattern is available from the video
source: the DVD or VCR player. If you do not have access to a color bar test pattern,
you will have to adjust the picture by eye from the video source using the

menu.
Note:
When a video source is selected, Auto Setup Options are not available. Adjustments
must be made manually.
