Note
 f [BRIGHTNESS  ADJUST] is a function that makes the increased brightness in black level of the overlapping image area difficult to 
notice when [EDGE BLENDING] is used to structure a multi-display screen.  The optimal point of correction is set by adjusting [NON-
OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] so the black level of the overlapping image area will be the same level as the non-overlapping area. If the 
border area of the part where the image is overlapping and the non-overlapping part gets brighter after adjusting [NON-OVERLAPPED 
BLACK LEVEL], adjust the width of the top, bottom, left, or right.  Adjust [BLACK BORDER LEVEL] when the width adjustment makes only 
the border area darker.
 f The joining 

part may look discontinuous depending on the position you are looking from when a screen with high gain or rear screen is used.
 fWhen structuring a multi-display screen using both horizontal and vertical edge blending, adjust [OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] first before 
making adjustments in Step  12)

. Adjustment method is same as the procedure of [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL].
 fIf only horizontal or vertical edge blending is used, set all items in [OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] to 0. fThe [AUT

O TESTPATTERN] setting will change in conjunction with the setting in the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu  → [COLOR MATCHING] → 
[AUTO TESTPATTERN].
 f The tilt adjustment of the border between [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL] and [BLACK BORDER LEVEL] is a function to perform 
edge blending together with the adjustment in [SCREEN 

ADJUSTMENT] (x   page   70). If the area of [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK 
LEVEL] is tilted by correcting the keystone distortion with the [POSITION] menu → [SCREEN ADJUSTMENT] → [KEYSTONE], perform 
Steps 17) and 18) to adjust the tilt and adjust the edge blending according to the shape of [NON-OVERLAPPED BLACK LEVEL].
 f If [EDGE BLENDING] is set to anything other than [OFF], the setting of the [PICTURE] menu  →

 [GAMMA] → [DEFAULT] is disabled, and 
the same gamma mode as when [2.2] is set is applied.
