 DIGITAL VNR

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the amount of ‘noise’ (‘snow’ or interference) in the original picture. You can choose from the three DIGITAL VNR function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

AUTO(LOW)/AUTO(HIGH):

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 you use the AUTO(LOW) setting if you can. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO(LOW) but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO(LOW) to AUTO(HIGH).

AUTO(LOW)

AUTO AUTO

PICTURE menu

MIN:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set to the minimum. If you set the DIGITAL VNR function to AUTO(LOW) but feel that the sharpness of the original picture has not been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO(LOW) 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(HIGH) but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO(HIGH) to MAX.

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

 Super DigiPure

The Super DigiPure function uses the latest in digital technology to give you a naturallooking picture. The Super DigiPure function includes the following two functions.

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a naturallooking picture by eliminating unnecessary edges from high-contrast and crisp images. For images with low-contrast, edges are added to produce a sharper, more detailed picture. You can choose from the three DigiPure function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on a low-quality picture that contains a lot of noise, this may actually make the noise worse. We recommend you use the AUTO setting if you can.

Picture motion compensation function:

This function displays fast-moving pictures (for example, the players or ball in a football game) more smoothly and naturally on the screen.

• The effect level of the picture motion compensation function cannot be changed. The effect level is the same no matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX settings is used.

AUTO:

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

MIN:

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the minimum. When you set the Super DigiPure function to AUTO and notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO to MIN.

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

MAX:

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the maximum. If you set the Super DigiPure function to AUTO but feel that the original picture quality has not been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO to MAX.

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

OFF:

The Super DigiPure function is turned off.

 PULL DOWN

The PULL DOWN function displays a cinema film picture more smoothly and naturally on the screen.

AUTO:

This function is turned on. Normally keep this function set to AUTO.

ON:

This function is turned on.
