Optimizing video images
After the video device is connected properly and the image is on the screen,
you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general informa-
tion regarding menu usage, see page 27.
• Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture
menu. See page 28.
• Change the Aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to
image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV
and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your
input source. See page 28.
• Select a Sharpness setting in the Advanced menu. See page 30.
• Select a different Color Temperature, or use the Color Control to indi-
vidually adjust the intensity of the red, green, and blue color. See
page 30.
• Select a different Video Standard. Auto tries to determine the standard
of the incoming video. Select a different standard if necessary. See
page 30.
• Turn overscan on to remove noise around the video image. See page 30.
• Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can
save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these
settings later. See page 29.
