ADJUSTING TV CONTROLS
2. Then press menu.
3. Select Picture Quality, and then select Picture Settings to set picture settings for the
desired input.
AUTO COLOR
Auto Color displays a choice list that lets you turn on the feature that automatically
corrects the color of the picture when you are viewing analog channels. This is
especially useful for tracking realistic flesh tone colors as you switch from channel to
channel. Choose On or Off, depending on your preference.
COLOR TEMP
Color Temp displays a choice list that lets you set one of two automatic color
adjustments: Coo/for a more blue palette of picture colors, and Warm for a more red
palette of picture colors. The warm setting corresponds to the NTSC standard of 7500°K
and the cool setting corresponds to 9300°K.
Depending upon which
Screen Format you
select, it may be
necessary to activate
Magic Focus twice. If
Magic Focus is activated
while in Normal/Full/Fill
mode, the convergence
will be corrected.
However, you must
again activate Magic
Focus when you select
Smooth Wide mode, to
correct convergence.
See page 78 for
information.
NOISE REDUCTION
You can turn Noise Reduction on or off. When turned on, the television produces a
cleaner, smoother picture by reducing picture "static" or any type of interference. This is
especially useful for providing a cleaner picture in weak analog signal conditions.
When Noise Reduction is on, picture detail is somewhat decreased.
MAGIC FOCUS
Selecting Magic Focus begins a process which aligns the blue, green, and red picture
tubes to produce the best picture quality. These tubes may have shifted since it was
manufactured. If your picture seems fuzzy or has a yellow tint, running Magic Focus
could fix this problem.
THEATRE
Theatre allows you to set picture quality controls to a predetermined setting suitable for
a theatre-type environment, such as a dark room. You may want to turn the Theatre
option on when viewing movies because the color temperature of movie film has a red
tint, lower contrast, and reduced sharpness that live video does not. Selecting the
Theatre option causes the picture to approach the "look" of an actual film.
