Creating Custom Colors
You can change any color other than color 0 (black) (refer to Table 2 on page 41) to create custom
colors. You cannot add more colors, but you can change the existing ones. Once you create a cus-
tom color, it stays permanently in the MX-4 DV unit until and unless you change it again.
BG COLOR and BORDER COLOR share the color palette. Therefore, changing any color affects both
the background and border colors.
To create a custom color:
1 Press BG COLOR or BORDER COLOR until the color you want to change appears in the Color
Selector.
2 Press LEARN + BG COLOR or LEARN + BORDER COLOR (depending on which one you want to
change).
These key combinations activate Learn Color mode. The MX-4 DV blinks the
VIDEO / AUDIO
selector lights to indicate you are in the proper mode.
3 Use the JOYSTICK and T - BAR in combination to define the new color.
a Move the T - BAR up and down its slot to adjust luminance.
b You can use the SHIFT + ARROW KEYS for fine adjustment to luminance.
c Move the JOYSTICK relative to its color ring to adjust chrominance (or color value).
d You can use the arrow keys for fine adjustments to chrominance.
4 When the color you want appears in the Color Selector, press OK . You exit from Learn Color
mode and the VIDEO / AUDIO lights cease blinking.
If you decide you don’t want to change the color after manipulating the JOYSTICK and T - BAR ,
press SHIFT +0 (zero) to revert back to the original color. The MX-4 DV restores the original
color and exits from Learn Color mode (the VIDEO / AUDIO lights cease blinking).
