(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 program you are watching, or

picture items, such as color, brightness, etc.,
creating a fixed set of picture item
adjustments for the disc in either case.

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 canceled.
