DIGITAL VNR

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the amount of noise in the original picture. You can choose from the three DIGITAL VNR function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX. The TV and external input may be given different DIGITAL VNR settings.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of the DIGITAL VNR effect to match the amount of noise in the picture, giving you the best possible picture.

• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too high it can make the picture less sharp. It is recommended to use the AUTO setting if you can.

MIN:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the minimum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO but feel that the sharpness of the original picture has not been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO to MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for lowquality pictures which contain a lot of noise.

MAX:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the maximum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for highquality pictures which contain very little noise.

OFF:

The DIGITAL VNR function is turned off.
