Sony KF-60XBR800 Manual page 27

went back to defaults. The color decoder is easier to set if you lower the picture level to
about 25 to 50%. The sharpness will not effect color/hue. The picture can if you push it
too far and one of the panels saturates before the others.
(26) I am still unclear as to how set dependant these changes are. For example, I
have a PVR 501 (S-vid) so should the Croma Delay setting of "7" work fine or do I
need to use AVIA to be sure? The chroma delay settings are device and not TV
dependent. This is aligning the color and b&w information. To set this you need to
display something where you can see when they do not line up. AVIA has a test pattern
for this, but you cannot use this with the 501. I would display something with a bright
color image next to a darker field. Many of the little bugs they place on channels like
CNN work well for this.
(27) So there could be variances between 501's. When you talk about aligning color
and b & w information. Do you mean that I need to adjust so the color does not
bleed into the black area? I doubt there will be a difference between the same devices
(like your and my 501) on chroma delay, but it takes very little time to check. I find it
easier to detect a bright white area where there should be color instead of trying to see the
color bleeding into the black, but you have the idea. Just go to a display and start
changing the value in the service menu. You should see the effect easily on the type of
display I am talking about.
(28) Would you suggest using the Panasonic players Black level enhancement? don't
know what black level enhancement does so I don't have any advice. I would place a
grayscale ramp on the screen to see what it does if I had that player. You might Use the
"Normal" black level to calibrate your set. Check out the following link for further
explanation on this topic,

page and look at the tip "Should I Set my DVD Player to Enhanced or Normal Black?"
(29) Are my expectations unrealistic for this set? It seems that there is little or no
improvement over my 7 year old 55" Zenith in regards to the Dish signal...? You have
done everything I know of to eliminate artifacts on this TV. I only use 4:3 on my 501 for
the same reasons. The color decoder changes help the picture also, but not the artifacts. I
think your expectations of the Dish signal are unrealistic. It simply isn't good enough for
the GWII or any other large screen TV. The better the TV the greater the difference
between high quality and low quality sources.
(30) Since you are using 'warm' color setting, would this make your decoder settings
etc. different from somebody that prefers neutral? I was just going to copy your
settings, but they didn't seem right with neutral on. The following is a quote from the
link I provided to Keohi HDTV in your other thread:
