Film Mode
(3:2 Pulldown) Automatically detects video sources that were originally recorded
on film (like most movies) and subsequently converted to a different format (for TV broadcast,
for example). Film mode processes the converted signal so that it looks as close as possible to
the original. Another name for this process is reverse 3:2 pulldown.
The
On
setting (recommended): place a check in the box, enables the feature only when the
TV detects that movie playback quality could be improved.
The
Off
setting (uncheck the box) turns off film mode upconversion. Try using this setting if
you think the reverse 3:2 Pulldown is causing distortions in your picture.
PC Settings
Adjust the PC settings when in PC mode.
Video Noise Reduction
(not available on PC or digital channels) Reduces picture “static” or
any type of interference. This feature is especially useful for providing a clearer picture in weak
analog signal conditions. Press the right arrow to choose between:
Low
for a softer, smoother
picture that retains picture sharpness and detail;
Normal
for a slightly softer picture than the
Low
setting;
High
for an even softer, smoother picture than the other settings (the picture
detail is somewhat decreased).

The Sound menu lets you adjust audio output. To access the Sound menu, press MENU on
the remote, and then select

from the Main Menu . The following sound items can be
adjusted:
Treble

Press the right or left arrow buttons to adjust how much audio is sent to the left and
right speakers.
Analog TV Sound
Controls the way the sound comes through your speake rs. The options
available vary according to the input selected.
Mono
(available for regular TV viewing only) Plays the sound in mono only. Use this setting
when receiving broadcasts with weak stereo signals.
Stereo
Splits the incoming stereo audio signal into left and right channels. Most TV
programs and recorded materials have stereo audio. The word Stereo appears in the chan-
nel banner when you tune to a program that is broadcast in stereo.
Second Audio Program (SAP)
Plays the program’s audio in a second language, if one is
available. The letters SAP appear in the channel banner when you tune to a program that is
broadcast with SAP information. SAP audio is broadcast in mono. SAP is also used to
broadcast a program’s audio with descriptions of the video for the visually impaired.
Default Audio Language
Choose the language you prefer for dialog on digital channels. If
your preferred language is being broadcast with a program, then the TV plays it. If not, then the
TV plays the default audio for the program (usually English in the U.S.). The default digital
channel audio language options are
English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese,
Chinese, Korean.
Current Audio Language (Not available for analog channels)
Press the right arrow to
choose from the audio languages available for the program you're watching. The language
you choose becomes your preferred audio language for all digital channels until you turn the
TV off. If the language you choose here is not being broadcast with a program, then the TV plays
the default audio for the program (usually English in the U.S.).
Note:
This menu will gray-out when current channel selected is analog.
