Setup Menu Options
You can continue adjusting the current parameter by pressing the
LEFT/RIGHT ARROW buttons. To select another parameter, press
the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons. Press the ENTER button to return
to the large Picture Adjustment menu.
To exit the Picture Adjustment menu and return to the Setup
Menu, either select “Exit” or press the RETURN button.
The following picture adjustment controls are available:
1. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video
output.
2. Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video
output.
Note
Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality
video output. If you do not have the correct black and white levels,
your images can appear washed out or can lose detail in shadows
when watching darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black
level) and contrast (white level) controls; however, it may require a
combination of tweaking both the player and your television to get
the optimal result. We recommend using a calibration disc such as
Digital Video Essentials HD Basics as aids for adjusting. First adjust the
television’s picture controls for the best possible picture. Once that is
done, try changing the player’s settings to further refine the picture to
the optimal result.
3. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output. This
control only applies to analog video output (component and
composite).
4. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of
the video output.
5. Detail Enhancement (Sharpness): To set the sharpness of
video output. Detail enhancement level can be set between
-16 and +16. The default is level 0. Level 0 turns off detail
enhancement. The negative levels may be used to reduce or
eliminate overly sharpened video; however, the picture may
appear soft. The positive levels increase the enhancement. The
higher the level, the sharper the video details are. However,
too high a sharpness level may cause white line etching
around objects. Detail Enhancement can be used together
with Edge Enhancement to achieve an optimal result.
6. Edge Enhancement (Edge-Qualified Sharpness): To set the
sharpness of object edges in the video. Edge enhancement
level can be set between -16 and +16. The default is level 0.
Level 0 turns off edge enhancement. The negative levels
reduce the sharpness of object edges. The positive levels
sharpen object edges. Edge Enhancement can be used
together with Detail Enhancement to achieve an
optimal result.
Detail Enhancement and Edge Enhancement produce similar
results, but there are subtle differences. Detail Enhancement
works best when the source material is “clean” and free
from noise. Edge Enhancement works well for less pristine
sources. It produces a sharpening effect without making
noise more visible.
It is also possible to adjust these two controls in different
directions to achieve optimal results from certain “difficult”
materials. You may use Detail Enhancement to bring up detail
in the entire image but, if you find that object edges are over
enhanced, you can apply negative Edge Enhancement to
reduce the over-enhancement of the edges.
Sharpness (Detail/Edge Enhancement) is a video processing
function that can produce a sharper-looking picture but at
the same time may cause unwanted artifacts. The Lexicon
BD-30 Blu-ray Disc Player utilizes the fine detail and edge
enhancement technology from VRS
™
(Video Reference Series)
by Anchor Bay for its HDMI output. This technology provides
fine control to achieve an optimal balance between enhancing
sharpness and minimizing unwanted artifacts. If the source
content is properly produced, we generally recommend
leaving these controls at level 0.
