Image AdjustUse the controls in the Image Adjust menu to calibrate your PD520 for optimum
picture quality.
Planar recommends that setup and calibration be performed by a trained,
certified installation technician.
All signal types require separate processing. Therefore, you need to calibrate
each input separately.
Although it may be possible to obtain satisfactory picture quality using the
naked eye and regular program material, Planar recommends using the
following calibration tools for best results:
• External test pattern source – Ovation Multimedia, Digital Video Essentials or
AVIA test DVD or equivalent.
• A blue filter (provided with many test DVDs), for color level and tint
adjustments.
Connect your test pattern source to the input that you are calibrating and
proceed as follows. Perform the adjustments in the order listed here.
Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE
is an acronym for “Picture Line-Up Generation Equipment.”)
Figure 4-2 shows a
typical PLUGE pattern.

When you change a picture quality setting, save the
change to a preset afterwards. Otherwise, the change will
be lost when a different input is selected. (Picture quality
settings are saved for each input and resolution
separately.) For information about saving settings, refer to
Save Settings on page 33.
