Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE i\
s an 
acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”) 
          Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness
PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, \
white and gray 
areas against a background. The example above includes two vertical bars and four 
shaded boxes.
Select Brightness from the Image menu. Use the  ◄► buttons to adjust the level so that:
The darkest black bars disappear into the background.
•	 The dark gray areas are barely visible.
•	 The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.
•	 The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.
•	 The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).
Contrast:  On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar patter\
n like the 
one shown .
Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast
Select Contrast from the IMAGE menu. Use the
 ◄►
 buttons to adjust the contrast up until 
the top two bars become almost the same brightness, then down just until\
 the brightness 
change between these bars is consistent with the other bars.
Note:  Brightness and Contrast controls are interactive. A change to one may require a  
  subtle change to the

Saturation (Color): Available only for Standard Definition (SD) signals (480i, 576i) in 
Video, S-Video, and Component inputs.
To adjust the overall color intensity, select Color from the Main menu. Decrease this setting 
if colors are overly saturated; increase it if colors appear muted .
Hue (Tint):  Available only for Standard Definition (SD) signals (480i, 576i) in Video, S-Video, 
and Component inputs 
Hue “Tint” is the ratio of red to green in the color portion of the image. \
To adjust the tint, 
select Color Tint from the Main menu. Decrease this setting to shift the hue toward re\
d; 
increase it to shift the hue toward green.
Note:  Like the Brightness and Contrast controls, the color and tint controls a\

  achieve the optimum setting.
Sharpness:  The adjustment of sharpness primarily changes the value of high frequenc\
y 
detail. To adjust, select Sharpness from the Main menu and press Enter.  Use  ◄
  ►

adjust it. 
On your external test pattern source, select a similar pattern as below \

nd differently-
sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower t\
he sharpness setting to 
eliminate them.

Noise Reduction: Use ◄
  ►
 to adjust the noise of the projected image. This function is 
suitable for the elimination of image noise from interlaced SD input. Ke\
ep in mind reducing 
image noise will lower the value of high frequencies may also soften the\
 image.
Overscan:  Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older\
 
television sets may not display the outer edges of the broadcast picture\
 area. Overscan 
effectively hides these inactive, outer edges of the image. Choose one of the following:
•  Off: This setting leaves the image as-is.
•  Crop: This setting adds a mask all around edges of the source active image equal to  
  2.5%.
•  Zoom: This setting adds a factor to the scaling of the source active image so that the  
  vertical and horizontal resolutions are 105% of the size determined by the aspect ratio  
  function. Anything outside of the original image area is removed.
Input Select:  This function is same as the hotkey which on Remote controller. You can use
