4.8.10 DYNAMICS
This allows you to control the difference between the softest and loudest passages on 5.1/6.1-channel
soundtracks, as long as the soundtrack contains dynamic scaling information and at least 5.1 speakers are
used. Press DYNAMICS and use the Master Control Knob or
keys on the remote control to select:
Reduced: Allows the quieter parts to be heard more easily, and works by raising the level of quieter
sounds and/or reducing the level of louder ones according to cues encoded on the DVD.
Late Night: Further reduces the softest-to-loudest difference.
Reduced and Late Night get reset to Normal when Main power is turned off.
4.9 LIP-SYNC DELAY (remote control only)
To adjust lip-sync while playing a video source instead of viewing the setup menu, press and hold
the DISPLAY key until the display shows “LIP-SYNC DELAY”, then use the
keys to move from
digit to digit and the keys to adjust.
4.10 DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS (front panel only)
To change the brightness of the front panel display and LED indicators, press DISPLAY
and use the Master Control Knob to select Maximum, High, Medium, Low, or Off.
4.11 VIDEO SOURCE ADJUSTMENT
Source materials sometimes contain anomalies. HD inputs may have the wrong color space, while S-Video
and component video signals may need adjustment before being converted to digital, for HDMI output. The
processor allows separate adjustment for each source.
AVM 40 only:
To access the adjustment, press and hold MODE until VIDEO OUT CONFIG appears on the front panel
display. Pressing MODE repeatedly while this is displayed cycles through “IF YCbCr IN” and “IF RGB IN”,
then “VIDEO IN GAIN” and “VIDEO IN OFFSET” if the input is S-Video or component video.
To change input color space (“If YCbCr In”) use the keys or Master Control Knob. The default input
color space is Auto, which switches between HD and SD color space according to whether input has
HD or SD resolution. If the source material contains an incorrect conversion, the color space can be
corrected. For example, if your cable box converts 480i channels to 1080i output without converting SD
color space to HD, resulting in some slightly incorrect hues, use the SDTV setting instead of the HDTV
or Auto settings.
If the source is RGB, choose between Studio and Extended using the keys or Master Control Knob.
Detail in dark scenes can be used to find the correct setting.
Video Input Gain changes the white level – adjust if bright areas are too bright. When set all the way to
the left (Low position), it becomes an automatic gain control – this is the default setting.
Video Input Offset changes the black level – adjust if dark areas are too dark or too bright. The default
is the middle position.
With Input Gain or Input Offset selected, a scale appears in the second line of the display:
L |– – – – – + – – – – – H
The vertical bar indicates the adjustment position. Adjust using the keys or Master Control Knob.
