-PICTURE- FUNCTIONS 
 
36
When the AI function is on, the TV internal computer will perform the 
following: 
 Automatically monitor and adjust contrast depending on room lighting 
(sensor is located in the front panel), to produce a more natural picture. 
 Automatically monitor and adjust color levels and maintain natural flesh 
tones. 
 Automatically compensate for weak or strong TV signals to produce a 
clear picture. (The SHARPNESS function is automatically adjusted.) 
Turn the AI function off to control other PICTURE SETTINGS. 
• AUTOCOLOR 
The AUTOCOLOR function automatically monitors and adjusts the color to 
maintain constant color levels even after a program or channel changes.  
It also maintains natural flesh tones while preserving fidelity of background 
colors. For best picture performance leave the AUTOCOLOR function on. 
• NOTCH FILTER 
Turn on the NOTCH FILTER when viewing a television program or a 
program from one of the regular video inputs to improve the picture 
appearance, especially around the outline of buildings, signs, letters, etc. 
Turn off the NOTCH FILTER when viewing a program from the S-Video 
input to get the maximum sharpness and clarity out of the picture. 
• NOISE REDUCER 
The NOISE REDUCER automatically reduces conspicuous noise in the 
picture without degrading picture quality. 
• CONVERGENCE 
Your Projection TV has three color projection tubes: one for red, one for 
green, one for blue. When mixed together in the proper proportion, the 
output of these three color tubes can produce any color.  To produce 
these colors, however, the beams must be precisely aligned over each 
other so that the colors can be mixed.  The process of aligning these 
picture beams is called "convergence". 
Over a period of time, the picture tubes can drift out of alignment due to 
normal bumps and vibrations or moving the TV.  If you move your TV, or 
if, after a time, you notice color rings or halos around objects in the 
picture, you may want to converge (align) the colors. 
To simplify convergence, the following feature allows you to display a test 
pattern of horizontal and vertical lines on the screen. Properly converged, 
the lines appear white, which is actually a combination of the outputs of 
the three color tubes.  The output of the green tube is stationary.  The 
outputs of the red and blue tubes can be adjusted.  When properly 
aligned, the outputs of all three tubes should be directly over each other to 
produce the white lines. 
Press MENU, 2, ENTER, 3, ENTER to display the CONVERGENCE 
ADJUSTMENT. 
 
Press the CURSOR 
 to move the color displayed up or down. 
Press the CURSOR  ,   to move the color displayed left or right.
