ADVANCED VIDEO
This section of the setup menu allows you to fine-tune
the colors and picture characteristics of your D 200 to compensate for the characteristics of
your particular TV, as well as the brightness and color of your room. There are two sub-menus
on the ADVANCED VIDEO setup page, CUSTOM VIDEO SETUP and PRESET SELECT. We do
not recommend experimenting with these advanced video adjustments unless you are unsatis-
fied with the picture quality.
Note: The easiest way to make these adjustments is to first start a movie playing. Now press
the STOP button only once and then the SETUP button. Make your video adjustments, exit
the SETUP MENU and then press the PLAY button. The movie will resume from the same
location making it easy to see how the picture has changed.
CUSTOM VIDEO SETUP
On this menu page you will be able to make adjustments
to many different picture parameters. After you have
completed making these adjustments, go to the PRESET
SELECT setup page and select the USER preset. If you
don’t do this your custom video setup adjustments will
not take effect.
BRIGHTNESS
This sets the brightness of the image
within the range of -6 to 6.
CONTRAST
This adjusts the difference between light and dark of
the image within the range of -6 to +6. Dark colors will
become darker and light colors will become lighter.
HUE
This adjusts the balance between green and red within
the range of Green 6 to Red 6. The easiest way to ad-
just HUE is to adjust it for the most natural skin tones.
SHARPNESS M (middle)
This adjusts the sharpness of the image in the middle
band of video frequencies, within the range of -6 to +6.
Its effects are very subtle and might not be visible with many DVDs.
SHARPNESS H (high)
This adjusts the sharpness of the image in the high band of video frequencies within the
range of -6 to +6. Its effects are very subtle and might not be visible with many DVDs.
CCS
This stands for Cross Color Suppression and allows you to remove the cross color artifacts
in the video signal due to poor Y/C separation present in some DVD video recordings.
CHROMA LEVEL
This allows the adjustment of the overall color intensity. This is also known as color saturation.
CHROMA LEVEL can be set from -6 to +6.
