MPEG Filter: Use the MPEG Filter to reduce or eliminate so-called “mosquito noise” in
MPEG-compressed video signals (digital broadcasts or DVDs). Set it to LOW, MIDDLE or HIGH,
as needed to minimize distortion around the edges of moving objects, moving artifacts
around edges and/or blotchy noise patterns superimposed over the objects.
Chroma EE: Use the Chroma EE control to correct chroma delay in a Composite, S-Video or
Component video source. Chroma delay in an image causes color shifts to occur to the left of
the vertical edge transitions, producing artificial shadows or a “halo” effect. If necessary, set
Chroma EE to ON to eliminate them.
Cinema Mode: When you enable Cinema Mode, the PlasmaView automatically detects and
optimizes the display of interlaced video signals that originated from film. To disable Cinema
Mode, set it to OFF.
Color Space: To ensure proper color reproduction, select Color Space from the Set-Up
menu and set it as follows:
• Select RGB for RGB input signals from a computer, video deck or any source connected to
INPUT 5.
• Select COMP. 1 for component input signals less than 720p, such as from a DVD player.
• Select COMP. 2 for higher-resolution component input signals (720p or above, such as
from an HD tuner).
DVI Setup (Input 2 only): Select DVI Setup from the Set-Up menu to configure Input 2 for
“plug-and-play” operation with a computer, and select the appropriate black level.
• Plug/Play: If the Input 2 source is a computer, set this to PC. Otherwise, set it to Video.
• Black Level: This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels present in
certain video signals. Generally, the PlasmaView automatically determines the best
setting according to the incoming video signal type. For some types of video, you may
want to override the setting. Set it to LOW if blacks appear elevated (dark gray). If blacks
appear “crushed” (too dark), set it to HIGH.
Signal Info: The PlasmaView automatically identifies PC signals and video signals according
to the frequency of the input signal, and identifies the resolution of a PC signal.
In many cases, setting Signal Info to Auto works well. However, if the displayed image is
unstable or discolored, select Signal Info from the Set-Up menu and select a specific signal
format. The available choices vary for each input.
Brt. Enhance (Installer Adjust mode): To improve and enhance the brightness of the center
of the screen, select Brt. Enhance from the Set-Up menu and set it to ON. This reduces the
brightness of the outer areas of the display by about 3% to 5%, relative to the center. For
uniform brightness over the entire screen area, set Brt. Enhance to OFF.
Cinema Mode can only be used on input signals with a 60-Hz refresh rate.

frequency, the other
