Owner's Manual

remote,
as
you
may
need to access special functions
that
are only available
on
the original remote)
• The original remote for the display (again, preferably
not
a universal remote)
•
If
the video passes
through
any receivers, switchers,
or
video processors, you'll
want
the original remotes for those.
• The owner's manuals for the player
and
display,
and
any receivers
or
processors
that
the video signal passes through.
•
If
you're calibrating in the dark, you'll
want
a small flashlight
or
headlamp to
make it easier to see the remotes, paper, booklet, etc.
During
the calibration, your primary location should be your normal seating
location while watching movies.
If
possible,
that
location should be centered, i.e.
facing the screen directly rather
than
at an angle,
but
if
that's
not
practical use your
actual movie-watching location; don't calibrate from the center unless that's where
you normally sit.
Take some time to familiarize yourself
with
the display remote. You can
do
this
while the system
is
warming up; it won't cause any
harm
to bring
up
menus
and
so
forth during the
warm-up
time. Make sure you
know
how
to bring
up
the video
settings menus
and
reach the Brightness, Contrast, Color,
Tint,
and
Sharpness
controls.
Consult
the owner's manual
if
needed. It
is
a good idea to write
down
at
this
point
the current video setting values so
if
needed you can reset everything
and
start over. Write down every
menu
item,
not
just the
five
main ones
mentioned
above.
If
the display doesn't give exact numbers for each setting, just write down
their visual position
as
best
you
can, like "far
left"
or
"dead center"
or
"two notches
below far
right."
Video mode settings
Once
the system has warmed up, it's time to start adjusting. Most
modern
displays
have an overall "Picture Mode" setting,
and
several advanced picture settings. It's
important
to
!?et
these set correctly first.
