SETTING THE GRAY LEVEL FOR THE SIDES OF THE SCREEN
The GRAY LEVEL function allows you to set the gray level for the sides of
the screen where nothing is displayed (on the left and right sides of the
screen when it is set to 4:3 size). The level can be adjusted from 0 to 15.
The factory setting is 3 (dark gray).
NOTE: Repeated watching with the gray level set to black may
effect the quality of your picture. To reduce the effects of uneven
phosphor aging, set the gray level to 3 or 4.
To adjust the gray level for the sides of the screen:
1. From the main menu, highlight and select FUNCTION. The
FUNCTION menu is displayed.
2. Highlight the GRAY LEVEL option.
3. Use the button to scroll through the levels.
4. When the desired gray level is highlighted, press the button to
return to the FUNCTION menu options. You can continue making
adjustments within the FUNCTION menu, press GO BACK to return
to the previous menu or press CLEAR to exit the menu system.
SETTING THE BRIGHTNESS LEVEL WITH THE
PLE+INVERSE
The PLE+INVERSE option contains two features in one. These features are
used principally for PC operation.
The PLE (Peak Luminance Enhancement) function sets the luminance level
to a fixed mode to reduce the effects of phosphor aging.
The INVERSE function works in RGB mode only. INVERSE inverts the video
signal, playing the image in a negative format.
PLE+INVERSE has four options:
AUTO – luminance level (contrast) is normal.
AUTO+ON – normal contrast with inverse activated.
LOCK – dims picture to reduce phosphor aging.
LOCK+ON – dims picture to reduce phosphor aging with inverse
activated.
The factory setting is AUTO. Setting the PLE+INVERSE option to LOCK
dims the picture – the contrast will be lower than normal.
To set the PLE level to LOCK:
1. From the main menu, highlight and select FUNCTION. The
FUNCTION menu is displayed.
2. Highlight the PLE+INVERSE option.
3. Use the button to select LOCK.
4. Press the button to return to the FUNCTION menu options. You
can continue making adjustments within the FUNCTION menu,
return to the previous menu or press MENU or CLEAR to exit the
menu system.
