3.2.1 Input
This chooses the VLS-2000 input to display on the display device. The Video setting
displays the device connected to the connector labeled “Video”. The S-Video setting
displays the device connected to the connector labeled “S-Video”. The YCrCb setting
displays the device connected to the connectors labeled “Y”, “Pr”, and “Pb”. The
HDTV setting connects the display device to the HDTV connector. No processing is
performed on this signal in the HDTV setting.
3.2.2 Load
This allows recall of previously stored settings for Brightness, Contrast, Color, Tint,
Detail, Noise, Motion, Black, and Source. There are three separate presets for each of
the three inputs (No settings are necessary for the HDTV pass-thru). To recall a
preset, use the UP and DOWN buttons to choose Preset1, Preset2, or Preset3.
Pressing SELECT again will cause the preset to be loaded from memory. “*Loading
Preset*” will appear on the display to acknowledge the action. To load the factory
values, select the Factory settings. On power up, Preset1 for each input is
automatically loaded.
3.2.3 Brightness
Brightness is used to set the background dark areas of the display. Set this to get black
areas of the screen to appear correctly. This will display on a scale of 0 to 100. If you
hold in the UP or DOWN buttons, this will ramp quickly.
3.2.4 Contrast
Contrast is set to get the brightest areas of the picture to appear with sharp detail,
without blooming or distortion of white areas, and without losing the distinction of
off-white areas near white areas.
3.2.5 Color
This setting sets the color saturation level. This is set to get the proper amount of
color into the video picture.
3.2.6 Tint
This sets the tint of the picture. It shifts colors slightly to get the best match to the
original image. This is typically set by feel by setting the value which yields the most
natural skin tones. Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Tint can be set up to better
accuracy by using commercially available test patterns on DVD, such as “Video
Essentials”, available at most DVD movie outlets.
