Video NR: To apply noise reduction to the input signal, select Video NR from the
Advanced Picture Adjust menu. Noise reduction is useful for improving the signal-to-noise
ratio of video signals. Set it to Off, 1, 2 or 3, as needed, keeping in mind that higher
settings (which reduce high frequencies) may also "soften" the image.
MNR: Select MNR from the Picture Adjust menu to reduce or eliminate so-called
"mosquito noise" in MPEG-compressed video signals (digital broadcasts or DVDs). Set it
to Off, 1, 2 or 3, as needed to minimize distortion around the edges of moving objects,
moving artifacts around edges and/or blotchy noise patterns superimposed over the
objects.
Sharpness Enhancement: select Sharpness Enhancement from the Advanced Picture
Adjust menu to apply edge enhancement to images, giving the impression of added
depth. Set it to Off, 1, 2, or 3 as desired.
Automatic Contrast: The VX-2000d can dynamically adjust the contrast (white level)
according to the color content in the signal, to produce the best picture quality. Select
Automatic Contrast from the Picture Adjust menu to activate this feature. Set it to Off, 1, 2,
or 3 as desired. Selecting "3" results in a higher average white level than the other
settings.
Default: To reset all picture quality settings for the current input to their factory-default
values, select Default from the Picture menu.

The VX-2000d provides nine adjustable white balance parameters, allowing precise
adjustment of the intensity of the red, blue and green color components in the dark areas
(Offset), light areas (Gain) and "mid-tone" areas (Gamma).
You can adjust these parameters as needed and store them in any of six presets (memory
1
locations). The selected white balance preset can, in turn, be associated with a "Picture
Memory" preset (refer to White Balance on page 56). The most logical way to do this is
to associate a white balance preset with the picture memory preset of the same name;
0
however, you can associate a white balance preset with any picture memory preset.
