Color System: Select Color System from the Install menu to specify the color system for
composite video (VIDEO 1) or S-Video (VIDEO 2) input signals.
Different countries use different formats for video signals. Select the appropriate color
system for your country:
•AUTO: The color systems are automatically identified and the format is set accordingly.
•PAL: This is the standard format used mainly in the United Kingdom and Germany.
•SECAM: This is the standard format used mainly in France and Russia.
• 4.43 NTSC, PAL60: This format is used for videos in countries using PAL and SECAM video
signals.
• 3.58 NTSC: This is the standard format used mainly in the United States and Japan.
•PAL-M: This is the standard format used mainly in Brazil.
•PAL-N: This is the standard format used mainly in Argentina.
Blank Area: Select Blank Area from the Install menu to choose the color (BLACK or GRAY)
that is displayed when no input signal is present.
Sidebar Level: Select Sidebar Level from the Install menu to adjust the gray level for the
sides of the screen when the Aspect Ratio is set to Standard 4:3 (refer to
Table 4-1). The range
is from 0 (black) to 15 (light gray). The default setting is 3 (dark gray).
S1/S2 (S-Video signals only): If an incoming S-video signal contains screen size information,
the PlasmaView can use that information to automatically adjust the image size to fit the
screen. To enable this feature, select S1/S2 from the Install menu and set it to AUTO. To
disable it, set it to OFF.
Display OSD: When you select an aspect ratio or input with the remote control, the
PlasmaView displays your selection on-screen. When you adjust the volume, a slidebar
appears as a visual indicator of the level. When you press DISPLAY on the remote control, the
PlasmaView displays the currently-selected aspect ratio and input on-screen.
To prevent the display of these items, select Display OSD from the Install menu and set it to
OFF.
OSD Adjust: To adjust the position of the on-screen menus, select OSD Adjust from the
Install menu. The range is from 1 (top left) to 6 (bottom right).
ID Remote: This menu item is reserved for future use.
Factory: To restore the PlasmaView to its factory-default state, select Factory from the Install
menu and set it to ON. “SETTING NOW” appears on the screen during the reset, then
disappears when the reset is complete.
All PlasmaView settings revert to their default values, with the following exceptions:
•Image Options: Aspect Ratio, Computer
• Install: Language, HD Type, HDMI, Color System
Setting Blank Area to GRAY makes it easier to see whether the display is
turned off, or turned on and not receiving a signal.
