When calibrating your system, it is recommended that you make the adjustments in the
same type of viewing environment in which you typically watch TV. Some televisions
feature settings that might affect the proper calibration of your television. If you encounter
difficulties in calibrating your TV, try changing these settings first and then re-calibrate
using the on-screen guide.
The labels for controls used in this booklet may be different from the names used in the
menus on your television. Please refer to your owner’s manual if you have any questions
about how your controls are labeled.
Throughout this booklet, you will see Test Patterns marked with an Asterisk (*). These are
Digital Reference Standard (DRS) images. These DRS images are a basic representation of
how the correct or optimal settings should appear on your TV. Please note that the images
in this booklet are for reference only. Printing limitations prevent Test Pattern images from
being an exact representation of how they appear on your TV.
