Introduction
Thank
you for purchasing the Spears & Munsil
HO
Benchmark,
2nd
Edition.
If
you're new to
home
theater calibration, we recommend reading this insert before
beginning to explore the disc.
If
you're familiar with
our
previous disc
or
other
calibration discs,
feel
free to
jump
right in.
Important note about
3D
1V
calibration and testing: The stereoscopic
(3D)
patterns
on
the disc will
not
display
in
3D
unless the disc is
put
into
3D
mode
by
using the setting in the Setup menu, at the bottom
of
the main menu.
The
most important navigation tip: press the up arrow while viewing
any
pattern to
see
help text
and
often a
"good"
and
"bad" example picture
for
that
pattern.
Press
the down arrow or enter to return
to
the pattern.
While viewing a pattern, you can use the left
and
right arrows to move to the
previous
or
next pattern
without
needing to return to the menu. To return to the
c
h "
"b
h
"
"b
menu
rrom a pattern, you can press t e enter
utton
or
t e
top
menu
utton.
Using
left
and
right arrows to move to the previous
or
next pattern
is
especially
useful while viewing
30
patterns. The menus must be
20
for compatibility with
non-30
players, so moving back
and
forth from
30
patterns to the
menu
causes
the display to switch back
and
forth between
30
and
20
modes. This can take
extra time.
This disc comes
with
a Spears & Munsil blue filter, useful for setting the
Color
and
Tint
controls
on
your display. See the section below
about
setting
Color
and
Tint
for more about
how
to use the filter.
For more information
about
the patterns, check the articles
and
guides
on
our
web
site (www.spearsandmunsil.com).
