• You can also press AV SELECTION on the remote control to
change the viewing option.
• If you have selected "DYNAMIC", you cannot select "Contrast",
"Brightness", "Color", "Tint", "Sharpness", "Pro Adjust", and
"Reset"; these menu items are dimmed.
• If you have selected "OPTIMUM", you cannot select "Contrast",
"Brightness", "Color", "Tint", "Sharpness" and "Pro Adjust".
• As "OPTIMUM" automatically optimizes image quality, the
process in which image settings such as brightness and tint
gradually change may be seen on the screen. This is not a
malfunction.
• When "OPTIMUM" is selected, images are reproduced based
on the information collected at the Room Light Sensor, as well
as the optional color sensor (when in use) regardless of its
setting ("Mode 1" or "Mode 2") for the "Room Light Sensor"
menu.
