the
Contrast
or
Color
controls, you
should
change
them
as
you change modes.
Once
you are sure
that
you have the correct settings for each
input
picture mode,
run
through
the various tests listed
on
the
bottom
of
the form
putting
a check
in
the box to mean "pass,"
and
leaving the box unchecked for
"fail."
If
you can select modes in
both
your player
and
your video processor,
our
recommendation
is
to start by trying the various modes
in
your processor, leaving
the player in factory default mode. Choose the
output
mode
that
scores best
and
set the processor in
that
mode,
then
1nove to the player
and
evaluate all the various
modes the player can produce.
If
you
end
up
changing the player's
output
mode,
you may
want
to return to the processor to re-evaluate
in
case the
input
mode
affects
the processor's
output.
If
you
want
to be completely comprehensive, you may
want
to
try
every possible cotnbination
of
player
and
processor
mode
separately.
Important
note:
If
you are
running
the
HDMI
signal
through
a receiver
or
switcher
and
find problems, especially
with
clipping, you should try taking the
receiver
or
switcher
out
of
the
chain
and
connecting the player directly
to
the
display to see
if
that
fixes
the problem. There are several receivers, switchers,
and
video processors
that
will clip the signal passing
through
them, even
if
they aren't
doing
any processing
of
the image. Also check the web sites
of
the
manufacturer
of
your receiver
or
switcher to see
if
there
is
a new firmware,
as
this
might
correct
some
or
all
of
the errors.
With
each
of
these patterns, it will be easier to see the differences
if
you stay
on
one
pattern
and
switch back
and
forth between the various color spaces, rather
than
running
through
each
pattern
with
one
color space
and
then
moving
on
to the next
color space. Some
of
the differences are subtle
and
you
may need
to
move back
and
forth between the spaces a few times
to
really see clearly
what
the
differences are,
if
any. You will also
want
to get near the screen for this evaluation, since these tests
can involve some differences
that
are harder to see from a distance.
Let's take a look at the various sections
of
the test
pattern
you'll
want
to look
