3.2.3 Adjusting Levels for Video Sources
Video sources are adjusted best if a color bar test pattern is available from the video source: the DVD or VCR
player. If not, you will have to adjust by eye and the "feel" of the picture.
Adjusting the picture
1. Select a video source in the Picture menu.
2. To access the Input Levels menu, on the Remote press
:
LEVEL

These controls are also used for analog sources
when you chose YPbPr Colorspace.
Now you have two choices.
• Adjust using any picture from the video source.
• Adjust using a standard color bar pattern from the
source.
Adjusting with color bars
1. If possible, use a color bar pattern from the video
source you will use for the program material. You can-
not use the color bar from the Test Patterns menu.
2. In the Input Levels menu, check Blue Only. You
should see only the alternate color bars, all of them
blue.
3. Adjust Saturation to make the outer two color bars
match. Match them in brightness; they will already
match in color.
4. Adjust Hue to make the inner two color bars match.

5. Uncheck Blue Only

When a video source is selected, Auto Setup
Options is not available. Adjustments must be
made manually.
6. If the color bar pattern has a pluge, you can use it to
adjust Brightness.

Adjust Brightness so you cannot see
the different between these two
marks,
but you can see the difference
between these two marks.
