Edge Enhancement
Edge Enhancement makes the edges of the video steeper, sharper, and crisper.
There are three options for the edge enhancement: Off, Low, or High. If artifacts
appear in the video, change the setting to Low or Off.
Contrast Expand
Contrast Expand makes the picture appear brighter by deepening the black
parts of the picture. This also helps to maintain a more consistent black level
from one scene to the next. The options are Off, Low, and High.

The Advanced Settings option lets you enhance picture performance and adjust
picture position. When you select Advanced Settings, a submenu appears with
options:
Film Mode
Automatically detects video sources that were originally
recorded on fi lm and converted to a different format. Film mode modifi es
the converted signal so it looks as close as possible to the original, a
process called reverse 3:2 pulldown. Film mode is applied to all inputs.
Options are:
• Advanced The default and recommended setting.
• On Used in circumstances when the TV is to be used solely with
fi lm-based sources.
• Off Use this setting if you think the reverse 3:2 pulldown is causing distortions in
your picture.

button to move the slider right and move the picture up. Press the left arrow button to
