Setting High Contrast - Pioneer PDP-502MX Manual

Menu Mode

4) Setting HIGH CONTRAST

This is a function that, for video signal input, adjusts the brightness of the parts of the picture with intermediate
brightness, thus emphasizing the brightness.
You should set HIGH CONTRAST to ON when playing software with many dark scenes or when using the unit in a
bright environment.
When you wish to accurately reproduce fine details (for example the texture of human skin), you should set HIGH
CONTRAST to OFF.
Differences in the reproduced picture for HIGH CONTRAST ON and
OFF (refer to diagram on right)
OFF ........ The brightness of the input signal is reproduced linearly
ON ......... The brightness of parts of the input signal with
intermediate brightness is adjusted during reproduction
