and contrast (white level) controls; however it may require a combination of tweaking both the
player and your television to get the optimal result. We recommend using a calibration disc
such as the Spears & Munsil™ High Definition Benchmark Blu-ray Edition or Digital Video
Essentials HD Basics as aids for adjusting. First adjust the television's picture controls for
the best possible picture. Once that is done, try changing the player's settings to further
refine the picture to the optimal result.
4. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.
5. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.
6. Sharpness: To set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness (also called Detail/Edge
Enhancement in previous OPPO players) is a video processing function that can control the
image sharpness but at the same time may cause unwanted artifacts.
For HDMI 1, the sharpness level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0, which
turns off sharpness enhancement. The negative levels may be used to reduce or eliminate
overly sharpened video. However, the picture may appear soft. The positive levels increase
the sharpness.
At level 1, the player applies low level Detail Enhancement, during which the video

processor isolates the detailed parts from the original image, processes them separately
and integrates back before the final output.
At level 2, the player increases Detail Enhancement to a higher level. Generally, to make

an image "sharper", we recommend using level 1 and 2.
At level 3 and above, the player adds Luminance Transition Improvement (LTI) and

Chroma Transition Improvement (CTI), which further sharpen the luminance transition and
chroma transition. However, we do not recommend using level 3 and above unless the
source content is poorly produced and blurry.
For HDMI 2 & Analog, the sharpness level can be set between 0 and +2. The default is level
0. The higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However, too high a sharpness level
may cause while line etching around objects.
7. Noise Reduction: To select whether the player shall apply video noise reduction processing.
For HDMI 1, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and 8. The default is level 0,
which turns off noise reduction.
When set to level 1, the player adjusts the picture quality by reducing the "mosquito noise"

(artifacts around the outlines of objects) and "block noise" (mosaic-like patterns caused by
video compression). These two noise reduction are also called Compression Artifacts
Reduction (CAR) and have several levels of aggressiveness.
When set to level 2, the player applies the Motion Adaptive Video Noise Reduction (VNR),

which handles the random noise and the film-grain noise (natural variation of picture
intensity caused by film grain). Its level is automatic because there is a noise estimator
circuitry in the video processor that calculates how much noise presents and adjusts the
level of VNR accordingly.
When set to 3 or 4, the player applies both CAR and Motion Adaptive VNR, with more

aggressive "block noise" reduction at level 4.
At level 5, the player applies aggressive CAR for low quality video content, and adds

Motion Adaptive VNR at level 6.
