To adjust the tint
|••••••
Tint is only available with composite or S-Video sources.
If the image colour still seems off balance with the tint set correctly the greyscale of the
display may need adjusting. Contact your installer for assistance.
Suggested test pattern: REVERSE COLOR BAR.
To adjust the detail
DETAIL
|•
This enhances the detail in the image.
Too much enhancement will produce unnatural looking edges and ringing. The higher
quality the source, typically the less enhancement required. With poor digital sources, such
as a poorly transferred DVD or a very compressed satellite channel, reducing the detail level
can help to make compression artifacts less visible.
Suggested test pattern: DVD Movie with a close up of a face in a still frame. Adjust so the
face has detail but the edges do not look fake (such as along the bridge of the nose.
To set advanced colour
• Select the ADVANCED COLOUR SYS option on the PICTURE menu:
ADVANCED
• Press > or < to toggle the setting between NORMAL and BYPASS.
Advanced colour mode activates colour edge enhancement and cross-colour suppression to
improve the image and remove certain video artifacts. This should be set to NORMAL for
most sources.

With a few movies that contain large amounts of colour, such as animation, these
enhancements may cause colour flickering. Set the mode to BYPASS if this occurs.
Adjusting the aspect ratio
The aspect ratio options allow you to select the proper aspect ratio of the source being
viewed.
Note that the correct screen shape must be set in the SETUP menu during initial
installation for the settings to function properly; see Configuring the digital video processor ,
page 17.
The following aspect ratios are available: anamorphic, 4:3, or letterbox.
To select anamorphic aspect ratio
• Press Anamorphic on the remote control.
This selects the correct aspect ratio for sources formatted for widescreen displays,
sometimes called Enhanced for Widescreen.
DVD players must be set for 16:9 displays for proper screen shape, see the DVD player's
Setup menu.
For Meridian DVD players select 16:9 Widescreen in the Display Aspect Ratio menu.
To select letterbox aspect ratio
• Press Letterbox on the remote control.
This selects the proper aspect ratio for sources formatted for the letterbox screen format.
This mode can also be used with anamorphic 2.35:1 (cinema scope) sources when
combined with an anamorphic lens on a 16:9 projector. The benefit is that the full
resolution of the 16:9 display chip is used to create the active video, improving resolution
and light output. The trigger output can be programmed to control the motorised lens
attachment.
