13. Under the Sony Expert menu:

A. We recommend everything be set to Off. As discussed earlier, but bears repeating, the

Gamma Correction set here should match the Envy's Display Configuration Transfer

Function setting.

B. Set the HDR mode to Auto. When Envy receives HDR, it intentionally sends SDR to the

Sony. If you bypass Envy's tone mapping using the green button on the remote, then

Envy will output HDR (for HDR sources) and the Sony will use its own tone mapping. In

some cases, the Sony may not switch its tone mapping to "On" in this case. Should that

happen, you can manually change this setting from Auto to HDR10. However, please be

sure to return it to Auto (or Off) before switching the Envy tone mapping back on.

C. Always set the Anamorphic option to Off, even if you have an anamorphic lens (in which

case you will configure the Envy Screen Configuration menu settings to use its AI-based

anamorphic stretch instead).

D. Aspect should be set to Auto. Regardless of the Aspect Ratio of the Screen or content,

the Envy can be configured to optimize the picture size with the use of its Profile

system, along with its Black Bar Detection and Management options.

Quick Sanity Check

After completing the setup of the Envy with your Sony projector, we recommend reviewing the

following checklist as a final "sanity check" to help ensure everything is set up optimally:

A. Play any 4K HDR movie (except Gemini Man or Billy Lynn). Check the Envy Incoming Signal Menu

(press OK on the Envy remote when no Envy menu is active) and make sure that the

"Framerate" shows 23.976. If instead it shows 59.94, and you are using an Apple TV or

Kaleidescape, then your source device(s) are not set up for proper playback – check our setup

Apple TV and Kaleidescape guides on our website for more information. Or if you are using a

different source device, check its settings and make sure it outputs in a "native" or "direct"

mode.

B. While playing the 4K HDR movie, check the Envy Incoming Signal Information to make sure the

"Transfer Function" shows "HDR". If not, Envy is not receiving HDR from the source player. This

could be caused by a "rogue" device in the HDMI chain, or if using an AVR like the

Denon/Marantz, make sure it is set to use "Enhanced" HDMI, so that it outputs the full 18 Gbps

bandwidth and is not restricted to 9 Gbps.
