SETUP MENU OPTIONS

At level 7, the player applies the most aggressive CAR for very low quality video, and adds

Motion Adaptive VNR at level 8.

Remember that excessive noise reduction may cause a loss of details. We recommend using

the noise reduction function only when you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that

has apparent noise artifacts.

For HDMI 2, the noise reduction level can be set between 0 and +3. The default is level 0. When

this level is increased, the player adjusts the picture quality by applying mosquito noise

reduction, r

andom noise reduction and MPEG block noise reduction at the same time. The

higher the level, the more aggressive noise reduction functions apply.

The following picture adjustment controls are only available for HDMI 1 video output:

Color Enhancement: Allows you to adjust the color enhancement level on the video output.

This enhances certain colors in the spectrum and enables vivid colors in outdoor scenes without

causing hue shifts, loss of detail or changes in skin tones.

Contrast Enhancement: Allows you to adjust the contrast enhancement level on the video

output. This expands detail in shadows.

HDMI Options

HDMI Options is a sub-menu of the Video Setup menu. It allows you to configure some video settings that are

unique to the HDMI output. To enter this sub-menu, select HDMI Options from the Video Setup menu. To exit

this sub-menu, press the RETURN button or the LEFT ARROW key. The following HDMI options are available:

1. Color Space (HDMI 1) – Allows you to select the color space for the HDMI 1 output. The

available options are:

Auto (recommended) – The player checks with the display device to automa

tically determine

what color space to use. If the display device supports YCbCr 4:4:4, then it will be used to

avoid extra color space conversion.

RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB color space and normal signal range

suitable for video displays.

RGBPCLevel– The HDMI output uses RGB color space and expands the signal range.

The expanded signal range is suitable for personal computer (PC) displays. Some TVs are

designed to be used as a PC monitor, and expect signal in expanded RGB range when the

DVI input is selected. For these displays if the

video signal uses the normal RGB range, the

black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the player to use the RGB PC Level output

and restore proper contrast.

YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 color space.

YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:2 color space. Generally this is the color

space that is closest to the color space encoded on the discs. (All discs are encoded in

YCbCr 4:2:0 color space, and the video decoder decodes it into YCbCr 4:2:2.)

2. Color Space (HDMI 2) – Allows you to select the color space for the HDMI 2 output. The

available options are the same as those for Color Space (HDMI 1).

3. Deep Color (HDMI 1) – Allows you to select the Deep Color mode for the HDMI 1 output. Deep

Color is an option for some TVs or projectors that feature HDMI v1.3 or higher input. Normally,

each pixel of the video image is transmitted using 24-bit data (8-bit per channel for R, G, B or Y,

Cb, Cr). If Deep Color is supported, each pixel of the video image can be transmitted using 30-bit
