[. . . ] Scart Output: Selects which kind of video output signals will be routed over the scart. RGB will be used for most TV's as it provides the best picture quality. The Video Adjustment Submenu contains the Test Screen. First adjust the video display device (TV) with the help of the Test Screen. After that the output settings of the player can be fine-tuned with the Color, Contrast, Brightness, Tint (NTSC and interlaced outputs only) and Black Level (NTSC and interlaced outputs only) settings. In order to change the settings, move the cursor to the "+" or "-" icon on the same line as the setting. Once one of the icons is highlighted, pressing ENTER will increase or decrease the value of the setting, as will be shown in the bar behind the setting. To exit the Video Adjustment Menu, move the cursor to DONE, and press ENTER. 16 Test Screen When you activate the Test Screen via the OSD you can activate a still image to test all settings and the video performance of your TV. With the vertical color bars you can test the following: · proper color intensity on your TV, · the proper color of each bar, showing if the proper video standard is turned on: the colors should be (left to right): black, white, yellow, cyan (turquoise), green, magenta (purple), red, blue, black. · proper color transition, seen as sharp separation of the bars, S-Video will be better than Video, RGB best of all. · the performance of the color filter in your TV (with "Video" signals), bar edges should show no vertical crawling dots. With the gray scale and the black/white fields below the color bars the brightness and contrast of your screen can be adjusted optimally, see "TV Picture Adjustment" below. Color Bars Grey Scale 100% Black/ White fields TV Picture Adjustment with Test Screen These adjustments may be done now, but you can also make them after setup has been finalized. Brightness adjustment: 1. Turn down the color control on your TV until the color bars are visible in black and white. Adjust the contrast to the lowest level where you still can see all bars within the grey scale in the test picture separately and clearly. Adjust the Brightness so that the bars in the gray scale are all visible. The bar furthest to the left has to be as black as possible rather than gray but the next must be clearly distinguishable. All the bars in the gray scale have to be gradually and evenly changing from black to whiter, from left to right. Adjust the contrast on your TV until you see a bright white bar in the lower right corner of the screen and a deep dark black bar at the left. The optimal contrast setting will depend on your preference and the surrounding light in the TV room. If the brightness of the white bar does not increase while turning up the contrast or when the borders of the white letters on top bloom (overlight) into the black areas, drastically decreasing the sharpness of the script, then the Contrast has been turned up too much. Reduce the contrast until these effects disappear and the video still looks realistic. If you are watching TV in daylight, adjust the Contrast so that a normal video picture has about the same look as the surroundings in your room. This contrast setting may be reduced when the surrounding light is dimmed, usually improving sharpness.
