2. Brightness: Adjusts the brightness (black level) of the video output.

Tech Note
The ability to set brightness and contrast is no small thing. If you do not
have the correct black and white levels then your images can appear
washed out or you won’t be able to see into the shadows when watching
darker scenes in movies. Televisions have brightness (black level) and
contrast (white level) controls; however it may take a combination of
tweaking both the DVD player and your television to get just the right
result. We recommend using a calibration DVD like AVIA Guide to Home
Theater or Digital Video Essentials and setting your display for the best
possible picture. Once that is done, see if the DVD player settings can get
even closer.
4. Hue: Adjusts the hue (tint) of the video output.
5. Saturation: Adjusts the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.
6. Gamma: Adjusts the Gamma (the actual transition from black to white) of the video output. The
available settings are High, Medium, Low and Off.
7. Color Space: Selects the color space for the HDMI output. The available options are:
• Auto (recommended) – Allows the DVD player to automatically select the best color space
based on capability information collected from the TV display.
• YCbCr 4:4:4 – Forces YCbCr 4:4:4 color space. If you select this option please make sure
that your TV is configured to accept YCbCr 4:4:4 signals, otherwise the video color will be
incorrect.
• RGB – Forces RGB color space. If you select this option please make sure that your TV is
configured to accept RGB signals, otherwise the video color will be incorrect.
