3. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.
4. Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.
NOTE
The ability to set brightness and contrast is no small thing. If you do not have the correct
black and white levels then your images can appear washed out or you won’t be able to see
into the shadows when watching darker scenes in movies. Televisions have brightness (black
level) and contrast (white level) controls; however it may take a combination of tweaking both
the DVD player and your television to get just the right result. We recommend using a
calibration DVD like AVIA Guide to Home Theater or Digital Video Essentials and setting your
display for the best possible picture. Once that is done, see if changing the DVD player
settings can get you even closer to the optimal picture.
5. Hue: To adjust the hue (tint) of the video output.
6. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.
7. Gamma: To adjust the Gamma (intensity distribution to video signal level) of the video output.
The available settings are High, Medium, Low and Off. This setting applies to analog video
output only. The HDMI output is not affected by this setting.
8. Noise Reduction: To select whether the DVD player shall apply video noise reduction
processing. When turned on, the DVD player adjusts the picture quality by reducing the “block
noise” (mosaic-like patterns caused by video compression). The noise reduction function is not
as effective to reduce the “mosquito noise” (artifacts around the outlines of objects) or “film grain
noise” (natural variation of picture intensity caused by film grain). We recommend using the
noise reduction function only when you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that has
apparent block noise.
9. Y/C Delay: To adjust the time difference between the Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (Pb/Pr
or Cb/Cr) channels of the video signal. When there is a significant lag between the channels,
image will look “smeared” because the color component is not lining up properly to the black
and white luminance component. Adjust the Y/C delay setting only when the TV or projector
has a Y/C delay problem. For a display device that normally does not have Y/C alignment
problems, keep the Y/C delay setting at its default level 0. The Y/C delay setting applies to the
HDMI output only.
10. CUE-Correction: To select whether the DVD player should apply chroma filtering to remove
Chroma Up-sampling Errors (CUE) and Interlaced Chroma Problem (ICP). CUE is caused by
improper decoding and de-interlacing of MPEG encoded video. The DV-983H is free of the
CUE problem. ICP is caused by encoding interlaced video so you may encounter it on some
DVDs. The CUE-Correction function can detect and filter out the errors. The available options
are:
• On – Chroma filtering is always on. Use this setting if the disc is known to have chroma
errors.
• Off – No chroma filtering is applied. Use this setting if the disc does not have chroma
errors.
• Auto (Recommended) – Automatic chroma error detection and correction. Use this setting
when you are not sure if the disc has chroma errors.
The CUE-Correction setting applies to the HDMI output only.
