little better on test images through the STB. I guess going from 480i to 1080i in the STB
and 1080i to 768p in the GWII works a little better than 480i to 768p in the GWiII on test
images.
(17) Are you saying that you fed the output from your DVD into the STB then out to
the GWII? If so, what were the exact connections? Does this mean you were able to
display the AVIA disk (for example) in 1080i? Does the SAT-HD200 have the
capability to accept another source (DVD)? Yes, my STB will accept other inputs and
convert them to 720p or 1080i. My connection path was: Avia in my DVP-S7000 (DVD
Player) through component input to Samsung SIR-T165 (HDTV STB) through
component input and DVI input @ 1080i or 720p. The SAT-HD200 does not appear to
have this capability.
(18) th the tweaks, does black detail improve significantly? The black detail is not
Wi
really a problem with this set it is the black levels. The gamma change will make the set
looked less washed out. Calibrating picture and brightness correctly will display all black
details (levels), but the blackest black is going to stay the same.
(19) I've tried calibrating the black levels using Avia on my Sony DVP-F11 player
using S-Video (the Panny RP-82 is on back order). I've already applied the
GAMMA/BLK tweak in the service menu. I can't see any difference in black levels
at all. Why? There is something really wrong. You should be able to see all black levels
except maybe blacker than black if your player does not output it. I would suspect your
DVD player could be miss adjusted or it is defect. These levels are visible without any
service menu adjustments by using brightness and picture alone.
(20) Is the basic settings (color, brightness, etc.) that are posted in the document
what I should be using? Will the Avia DVD give me pretty much the same results? I
would use whatever AVIA gives you as the correct settings. My settings for these and the
individual inputs are for your information only.
(22) What do you have your BCOL set at? Also, if I have an Onkyo HITB 650
should I leave my 60XBR800 speakers on or set them to off? I left BCOL at the
factory setting. I don't remember what that is. I would use whatever you like for sound. I
don't use my GWII speakers.
(23) I have printed out the adjustments of the service menu settings and have some
questions. Which one do I need to do first and which one is the most important one
to do? The recommended order is on the very first page of the pdf file. The only change I
would make is that it is worth while to adjust each input individually except for the user
menu. I have answered this before, but I would do the detail enhancements first. Second I
would fix the gamma followed up by fixing the color. The list shows this. The grayscale
and color decoder are difficult more difficult than the rest to do right.
(24) If one changes gamma and the sharpness controls, does this have any effect on
the color/hue handling of the set? I had a really tough time doing the color decoder, so i
