Planar C67RP User Manual

This page applies to analog RGB (computer) pictures only. The 
levels are best adjusted semi-automatically.

For analog RGB pictures, the levels for black and white vary from 
one computer to another, or from one video processor to 
another. They even vary between video outputs from a multi-
ple-output video card in a computer.

Your pictures will not look their best on the c50R/c67R until you 
adjust for these differences. This is not about adjusting color or 
contrast. It’s about telling the c50R/c67R what the computer or 
processor means by black and by white.

1 Select a source in the 

PICTURE

 menu. Display an all-black 

picture from the source computer. This must come from the 
computer source that will be used for the program.

 We suggest displaying a black screen using Windows

®

 Paint.

 and press

says “Working…” until the process is complete.

When doing Auto Black and Auto White with an interlaced 

analog input, the color of the picture will change while it is working, 
then it will change back to normal.

6 The c50R/c67R is now adjusted to the black and white lev-

els of this computer using this video card. If you change 
computers or video output cards in the computer, you 
must do this again.

INPUT

 

LEVELS

 menu, Press 

LEVEL

 on the remote.

3 Select 

BLACK

 

LEVEL

 and adjust it up and down with the -/+ 

keys to make the three center point values go to zero. 
Once any value reaches zero, use the individual colors 
under black level to adjust the other two values to zero.

Do not go beyond the point where the minimum just goes to 

zero. The idea is to just touch the zero level.

4 Display an all-white picture from the source computer.
5 Adjust 

WHITE

 

LEVEL

 until the image maximums just go to 

255. Once any value reaches 255, use the individual colors 
under white level to adjust the other two values to 255.

6 Although it’s not required, it is recommended that you 

save the configuration to a memory slot. See the Installa-
tion & Configuration Guide CD for more information.
