Adjusting the Picture
(VIDEO CONTROL)
You can adjust the video signal of DVD or
VIDEO CD from the player to obtain the
picture quality you want.
Choose the preset Video Control setting that
best suits the programme you are watching, or
select “MEMORY” to adjust individual
picture items, such as colour, brightness, etc.,
creating a fixed set of picture item
adjustments for the disc in either case.
As long as “PLAYBACK MEMORY” in
“CUSTOM SETUP” is set to “ON” (default),
the Video Control settings for up to 300 discs
remain in the player’s memory, and will be
automatically applied whenever you play the
same disc. When you store a Video Control
setting for the 301st disc, the setting for the
1st disc is cancelled.
