A compressed
(non-HD)
video signal
may cause
what appears
to be a "blurry",
"out of focus"
or "fuzzy
" picture
on a widescreen
TV. This is
not a malfunction
of the TV, but a result of the
compressed
signal that is sent by cable or satellite.
To re-adjust
the picture,
try the following:
o
Adjust your video settings
(specifically
sharpness)
for optimal
picture
performance.
o
Use the Convergence
Menu (page 53) to
properly
align the TV.
o
Change
the format
size (pages
60-61).
[]

Temp
(Color
Temperature}
Allows you to adjust how white images
are displayed.
Your choices
are:
Low 6500K
or Low (for DTV}: White
images
will have a warm cast to them.
This
adjustment
is an average
and can vary due to
ambient
room lighting,
video scene brightness
and the TV's age.
The Low 6500K
represents
the 6500K
industry
standard
for NTSC (non-
DTV) pictures.
o Medium:
White images will be balanced
between
the Low (warm) and High (cool)
settings.
o High: White images will have a cool cast
to them.
This setting
may provide
the most
realistic
picture
under bright
lighting.

Noise
Reduces
minor noise
(graininess)
in the
broadcast
or input signal.
This function
operates
only in 480i mode.
Film Mode
(Automatic}
Video
media uses a video camera
created
at 30 frames
per second.
Film media uses a
film camera
created
at 24 frames
per second.
Examples
of video
media are live TV broadcast
such as news, special
events, or video taped
programs.
Examples
of film media are motion
pictures,
made-for-TV
movies, and many prime
time programs.
Filmed media is converted
by
the broadcaster
or home video
company
to
30 frames
per second
to match TV or video
standards.
This conversion
can leave subtle
"picture
artifacts"
or conversion
errors.
The settings
are On and Off.
If you select
On,
the system
automatically
detects
if the signal
source
is Film and corrects
for conversion
errors.
If you select Off, the system
will never
correct
for conversion
errors.
This function
operates
only in 480i mode.
Note:
A slider will display
on-screen
for each
setting.
The slider has a numeric
value, where
63 is the maximum,
the mid-range
is 31 and the
minimum
setting
is 0.
Note:
For optimal
picture
performance,
it is
recommended
that you adjust your video settings
(specifically
contrast
and brightness)
during
initial
setup.
Certain
factors
will affect your personal
preferences,
including
room lighting,
glare
reflections
and viewing
angles/distance.
This also
slows phosphor
aging.
If glare or reflections
affect
your viewing
on a continual
basis, you may want to
remove the Diamond
Shield
(please refer to page
69).
