• Using the menu system, select the “Picture Adjustment” menu and select
“Reset” to return to factory settings.

brightness level to avoid any damage to the picture tube. To reset the brightness
level, press any button of the remote control.

“Remote Control Configuration for VCR/DVD” chapter on page 23.
