Picture Adjustments
Notes:
• “Colour” and “Tint” settings cannot 
be adjusted for “RGB/PC” and “DVI” 
input signal.

function (Contrast, Brightness, Colour, 
Tint, Sharpness) for each Picture 
Mode.
• The setting details for normal, 
dynamic and cinema respectively 
are memorized separately for each 
input terminal.
• The “Tint” setting can be adjusted 
for NTSC signal only during “AV
(S Video)” input signal.
•  In Contrast, there is not a noticeable 
change even when contrast is 
increased with a bright picture or 
reduced with a dark picture.
Advanced settings
On the remote control unit, while the “Advanced settings” menu is displayed, if either the N button is pressed at any time or 
the ACTION (  ) button is pressed during “Normalise”, then all adjustment values are returned to the factory settings.
