Enter the video adjustment mode using either the Audio/
Video menu or the VIDEO key. Press the VIDEO key repeatedly
to cycle through the video options to the one you want to
change. Use to change settings.

point, and 0 as the minimum.
◊ Picture Mode: Set the Picture Mode first before
adjusting other settings, as each Picture Mode stores
its own values for Contrast, Brightness, and Color
Temperature. Picture Modes allow you to optimize the
image for different lighting conditions. The Picture
Modes are:
• Bright: Suited for most daytime viewing.
Natural: Suited for most nighttime viewing.
•
• Brilliant: The default setting. For use under
strong light.
◊ Contrast (Bright/Natural/Brilliant): Provides a slider to
adjust the white-to-black level. Low contrast shows a
variety of shades in darker images, while high contrast
shows darker images more uniformly black and makes
colors appear more vibrant. In most home lighting
situations, a medium contrast looks best. High con-
trast is good for brightly lit environments.
◊ Brightness (Bright/Natural/Brilliant): Provides a slider
to adjust the overall brightness of the picture
◊ Color: Provides a slider to adjust color intensity.
◊ Tint: Provides a slider to adjust the red-to-green ratio.
◊ Sharpness: Provides a slider to adjust the detail and
clarity.
◊ Color Temperature (Bright/Natural/Brilliant): Allows
you to adjust how white is displayed.
• Low: White images have a warm cast. This
adjustment is an average and can vary due to
ambient room lighting, video scene brightness,
and the TV's age. Natural/Color Temp at the
low setting displays video at the 6500K industry
standard for NTSC pictures.
• High: White images have a cool cast. This setting
may provide the most realistic picture under bright
lighting.
◊ PerfectColor™: Lets you adjust the intensity of any
or all of six colors (Magenta, Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan
and Blue) to create color balance for the current image
source. PerfectColor settings are memorized for each
TV input or device.

open the adjustment screen.
Individual sliders for each color are displayed. Press

text shows which slider you are adjusting. Press
to change settings. Press CANCEL while in the
PerfectColor screen to reset all colors to the default
settings.
