Getting started watching your TV
Step 1. Ensure that your co-axial cables are connected correctly before proceeding. If you leave the setup process before it is complete, you will be given a choice of options: 1. Sports mode is suited for outdoor sports programs, with accurate background depth and clear gradation between the bright, outdoor playing field and darker auditoriums. Sports mode also brilliantly enhances colors and presents swiftly moving pictures without residual images. All of this is achieved via specific Gamma corrections and saturation adjustments. Concert mode places you in a virtual concert hall, opera house or other dim environment by means of adaptive brightness and contrast adjustments. Concert mode accentuates symphonic harmonies and the tenor audio range.
