1. Sharpness: To set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness level can be set with the

following options:

• Sharp – Enable edge enhancement. Video details are the sharper. May cause slight white

line etching around objects.

• Soft – Soften edges. Video appears to be smoother but may cause slight loss of details.

• Off (Recommended) – Turn off edge enhancement completely.

NOTE

Sharpness (edge enhancement) is an artificial video processing function that can produce a

sharper looking picture but at the same time may degrade the details of the picture or cause

unwanted artifacts. We generally recommend leaving it off.

2. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.

• Press the SELECT button to show the Brightness scale, and then use the left/right ARROW

buttons to adjust.

• Press the SELECT button to confirm the new setting.

3. Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.

NOTE

The ability to set brightness and contrast is no small thing. If you do not have the correct

black and white levels then your images can appear washed out or you won’t be able to see

into the shadows when watching darker scenes in movies. Televisions have brightness (black

level) and contrast (white level) controls; however it may take a combination of tweaking both

the DVD player and your television to get just the right result. We recommend using a

calibration DVD like AVIA Guide to Home Theater or Digital Video Essentials and setting your

display for the best possible picture. Once that is done, see if changing the DVD player

settings can get you even closer to the optimal picture.

4. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.

5. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.

6. Gamma: To adjust the Gamma (intensity distribution to video signal level) of the video output.

The available settings are High, Medium, Low and Off.
