2. Point the remote away from the TV so the TV will not receive any signals from the
remote. Press the TV button.

settings. When complete, press the component button again to control it.
AUTO COLOR
Auto Color displays a choice list that lets you turn on the feature that automatically
corrects the color of the picture when you are viewing analog channels. This is
especially useful for tracking realistic flesh tone colors as you switch from channel to
channel. Choose On or Off, depending on your preference.
COLOR WARMTH
Color Warmth displays a choice list that lets you set one of two automatic color
adjustments: Cool for a more blue palette of picture colors, and Warm for a more red
palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to the NTSC standard of 7500ºK
and the cool setting corresponds to 9300ºK.
NOISE FILTER
You can turn Noise Filter on or off. When turned on, the television produces a cleaner,
smoother picture by reducing picture “static” or any type of interference. This is
especially useful for providing a cleaner picture in weak signal conditions. When Noise
Filter is on, picture detail is somewhat decreased.
AUTO CONVERGE
Selecting Auto Converge begins a process which aligns the blue, green, and red picture
tubes to produce the best picture quality. These tubes may have shifted since it was
manufactured. If your picture seems fuzzy or has a yellow tint, running Auto Converge
could fix this problem.
THEATRE
Theatre allows you to set picture quality controls to a predetermined setting suitable for
a theatre-type environment, such as a dark room. You may want to turn the Theatre
option on when viewing movies because the color temperature of movie film has a red
tint, lower contrast, and reduced sharpness that live video does not. Selecting the
Theatre option causes the picture to approach the “look” of an actual film.
RESET CONTROLS
Allows you to reset all picture quality controls to their original defaults.
While running Auto
Converge, you may
notice that flashing
letters change to dashes
to indicate progress. The
Auto Converge process
takes several minutes.
When Theatre is
selected:
• picture controls are
dimmed for a low light
setting
• auto color is turned on
• color warmth is set to
warm
• noise filter is turned on
