Using the TV’s Menu System
Contrast Expand
Contrast Expand makes the picture appear brighter by deepening the black parts
of the picture. This also helps to maintain a more consistent black level from one
scene to the next. The options are Off, Low, and High.
Advanced Settings
The Advanced Settings option lets you enhance picture performance and adjust
picture position. When you select Advanced Settings, a submenu appears with
options:
Film Mode Automatically detects video sources that were originally
recorded on film and converted to a different format. Film mode modifies
the converted signal so it looks as close as possible to the original, a
process called reverse 3:2 pulldown. Film mode is applied to all inputs.
Options are:
• Advanced The default and recommended setting.
• On Used in circumstances when the TV is to be used solely with
film-based sources.
• Off Use this setting if you think the reverse 3:2 pulldown is causing
distortions in your picture.
Horizontal Position Allows you to adjust the picture left and right. Press
the right arrow button to move the slider right and move the picture to the
right. Press the left arrow button to move the slider left and move the
picture to the left.
Vertical Position Allows you to adjust the picture up and down. Press
the right arrow button to move the slider right and move the picture up.
Press the left arrow button to move the slider left and move the picture
down.
Smoothing Adjust (available only for models HD44LPW165, HD50LPW165,
and HD61LPW165) Allows you to adjust the lines of the picture so they
appear smooth. Press the left/right arrow buttons to move the lines in the
test pattern until they’re smooth.
