If the video signal source is not identified as a film, or if you select NO the deinterlacer applies a Motion compensated algorithm optimised for video camera signals.

However, if the image is not perfectly centralised it may prove useful to request the system to repeat the input signal analysis and image positioning, calling the automatic control procedu- re from the AUTO button on the remote control or keypad. When this procedure is called it is helpful to have a white or light coloured background on the screen in the current picture.
