1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the innovative SIM2 Grand Cinema HTL40 Link system!
natural_image
Line drawing of a modern living room interior with TV, sofa, and wall-mounted furniture (no text or symbols)The new HTL40 LINK flat screen offers the ideal combination between top TFT-LCD technology and an expert system for digital processing of video signals.
Your HTL40 LINK system is composed of two refined and elegant units. The 40" screen reflects the state of the art of TFT-LCD technology, with 1366x768 pixel resolution and the ability to display up to 16.7 million colours. The DigiOpticTM Image Processor video signal processing unit assures the acquisition of a very broad range of different video signals, while simultaneously providing the processing power needed to produce sharp, detailed pictures with bright natural colours.
The two units are interconnected by means of a single cable containing three fibre optic cores. The fibre optic cores allow the digital signal to be transmitted from the DigiOptic™ Image Processor to the screen and control signals to be transmitted in both directions.
Thanks to the flexibility and reduced diameter of the fibre optic cable, the two units can be sited in the room in a totally independent manner (distances of up to 500 metres), thereby ensuring that they will fit perfectly into the layout of your home theatre room.
A very broad range of different video signals can be connected to the DigiOptic™ Image Processor, which, since it is separate from the screen, can be placed anywhere in your room without detracting from the elegant styling and clean lines of the screen unit.
The large number of inputs available on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor (2 Composite Video inputs, 2 S-Video inputs, up to 4 Component or RGB inputs, 2 graphic RGB inputs, 1 DVI-D input, 1 HDMI™ input), ensures the system supports and processes a wide range of video signals from various sources: DVD players, VCRs, satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers, game consoles, video cameras, etc.
The signal processing capabilities of the Image Processor ensure optimum reproduction of a broad range of input signals, from in -terlaced video to high definition and graphics.
Conversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals by means of prestigious DCDi™ technology produces fluid, natural images free of artifacts such as flicker and stairstepping on diago - nals.
Faithful reproduction of signals at higher resolutions (such as high definition video and graphics) occurs without loss of information or reduction of image sharpness thanks to the processor's high pixel rate signal acquisition capabilities.
In addition, the specific type of signal processing makes it possible to eliminate the swirl effects that can sometimes mar the performance of LCD screens when displaying moving images.
All image adjustments can be performed from the remote control with the aid of the On Screen Display; alternatively, the unit can be controlled by from a home automation system through the serial port.
Besides the usual checks, the Quality Control department also runs additional statistical tests before shipment. Therefore the packing may show signs of having been opened.

4 INSTALLATION
POSITIONING THE TWO UNITS
The HTL40 LINK system consists of two separate units (the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the screen), each of which is equipped with a power cable; the two units are interconnected by a 20 m fibre optic cable.
Positioning the DigiOptic™ Image Processor
The ideal location for the DigiOptic™ Image Processor is on a cabinet shelf or on a rack (dimensions are compatible with a standard 19" rack). Make sure that the support surface is stable and that the unit has sufficient space around it for ventilation purposes (at least 3 cm).
The unit is connected to the mains via an external power supply unit with an output of +7 Vdc; the unit's main power switch is on the power supply unit. Connect the power supply unit output cable to the POWER socket located on the rear panel (Fig. 2).
Use exclusively the power supply unit provided with the system or an alternative power supply unit expressly approved by SIM2. For rack mounting of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor use the screws and LH / RH supports supplied with the product. Undo the screws fixing the cover to the base of the DigiOptic™, position the LH and RH supports and secure them to the unit with the screws supplied. Use the supplied screws to secure the unit to the rack (Fig.6).

Positioning the screen unit
Some minor assembly steps must be carried out on the screen unit before it can be positioned correctly. The display can be installed on a wall, using the specific VESA rails and the supplied screws, or placed on a table using the supporting base (optional - For further requirements or information concerning the support base contact
your nearest SIM2 dealer).
The following section describes the operations to be performed for the various installation configurations.
Caution! All the operations described below must be executed exclusively with the mains power cable unplugged from the mains socket outlet.
Caution! Do not place the wooden rear panel against ir - regular surfaces or surfaces that anyway could damage the panel. Protect the rear panel from scoring or other damage. Do not scratch the rear panel by means of rubbing against other surfaces or score it through contact with sharp objects. Do not place any objects on the rear panel and avoid laying it flat if possible.
WALL MOUNTING
Caution! Wall mounting of the LCD screen calls for special skills and must be carried out exclusively by authorised, trained technicians. Because of the weight of the screen (approx. 345 N, 35 kg) wall mounting operations should be carried out with at least two people. Sim2 Multimedia declines all liability for possible injury to persons or damage to property deriving from incorrect installation of the screen.
Fixing of the display to the wall is performed by means of an attach ment in compliance with VESA FDMITM standards (VESA Flat Display Mounting Interface Standard). The fixing system is not supplied with the HTL40 LINK system. VESA fixing systems are readily available commercially. Before purchasing a fixing system ensure it is approved to hold a weight in excess of 40 kg. In particular, we recommend checking that the wall to which the screen is to be fixed is able to support a weight of at least five times the total weight of the unit composed of the mounting interface and the display. Otherwise the structure must be reinforced before installing the unit. Fix the HTL40 LINK screen to the VESA interface system by means of 4 screws (M8), as shown in (Fig.7).
Caution!
Follow the instructions supplied with the VESA interface system carefully. Improper installation of the unit can result in serious personal injury and major damage to the HTL40 LINK panel and surrounding objects.
Fig.7
Make sure the components listed below are readily available:
- TFT-LCD flat screen
- curved rear panel.
- the fixing screws.
- spacers for installation with VESA interface
With the panel supported in a vertical position, insert the mains power cable connector into the relevant socket on the rear of the LCD panel (Fig.8).
Caution! Do not supply power to the panel by plugging the power cable into the mains socket outlet until you have finished the installation procedure.

Fig.9
Position the styled rear panel at the back of the display and line up the four holes with the bushes already fitted (Fig.10A).
Caution! When fitting the rear panel make sure it is per - fectly parallel to the screen. Use caution to ensure that the central opening in the rear panel is correctly aligned with the corresponding metal parts located in the panel rear: the use of excessive force when fitting the rear panel could damage the edges of its internal openings.
In the case of wall mounting, screw the spacers into the holes in the rear panel (Fig.10B).
Caution! Take particular care when inserting the spacers in the relevant holes. Excessively forceful insertion could cause damage to the edges of the holes in the curved rear panel.
Screwing the spacers into the holes makes it possible to increase the distance between rear panel and the wall to which the rear panel is secured, this making it possible to position the display freely. Finally, secure the rear panel to your VESA interface (not included).
Fig.10
TABLETOP INSTALLATION WITH SUPPORT BASE (OPTIONAL)
For tabletop installation of the unit you will need the tabletop support, which is sold separately from the HTL40 LINK system.
For more details on the tabletop support and the various models available contact your nearest dealer.
Fit the screen into the tabletop support, aligning the slots on the bottom of the screen unit with the vertical tabs on the support (Fig.11A). Secure the support to the screen by screwing in the two screws in the rear (Fig.11B).
Fig.11
With the panel in its vertical position, insert the power cable plug into the socket on the LCD panel (Fig.8).
Caution! Do not supply power to the panel by plugging the power cable into the mains socket outlet until you have finished the installation procedure.
Remove the protective caps from the LCD panel connectors making a mental note of the number markings and then insert the fibre optic cable in accordance with the diagram in Fig.9.
Position the curved rear panel at the back of the display and line up the four holes with the bushes (Fig.12A) fixing the parts together with the flathead screws (Fig.12B).
Caution! When fitting the rear panel make sure it is always kept parallel to the screen. Ensure that the central opening of the curved rear panel is well aligned with the corresponding metal parts located in the rear of the flat panel screen: excessively forceful insertion of the curved rear panel could damage the edges of its internal openings.
Caution! Take particular care when inserting the flathead screws in their holes. Excessively forceful insertion could cause damage to the edges of the holes in the curved rear panel.
Fig.12
CONNECTING THE TWO UNITS
The system can be fully controlled using the supplied IR (infrared) remote control handset.
There is a single remote control for both the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the screen; the remote control can be directed towards either unit since they are both equipped with an IR sensor.
The connection between the two units is made with a single cable containing three fibre optic cores each terminating in an LC connector.
The standard cable length of 20 m will be sufficient for most installation requirements.
During installation of the fibre optic cable:
- The individual optical cables are delicate: always handle the main cable without touching the individual optical cables (Fig.13). Never pull the individual optical cables or connectors; if necessary, you may pull the main three-core cable.
Fig.13
- Only remove the cap protecting the connector ferrule immediately before inserting the connector; if the ferrule is allowed to come into contact with foreign material it may be damaged, making the connector unusable.
- Take particular care when inserting fibre optic connectors in their respective sockets on the rear panel of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the rear panel of the screen.
- Make sure that the single optical cables are not switched: the numbers on the cables must match the numbers on the connectors.
- Check that the connectors are correctly inserted.
• Make sure that the cable does not constitute an obstacle for persons moving around the room.
• Take care not to create knots in the cable; the minimum radius of bends in the cable is 2 cm. - Prevent the cable from pulling and mechanical stress: this could cause the connectors to be pulled out and damaged.
After removing the protective caps from the fibre optic cable connectors and the panel connectors, insert the fibre optic connectors carefully, matching the numbers shown on each element (Fig.14). Be very carefully when handling optical fibres cable and connectors.
Fig.14
Avoid exposing the panel to direct light sources.
As far as possible it is also advisable to avoid placing light coloured furniture or other objects with highly reflective surfaces in the immediate proximity of the screen.
CONNECTING THE VIDEO SOURCES
Connect the cables from the video sources, the serial cable from the external control unit and the optical fibre cables connection to the rear panel of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor.
To obtain the best performance from the HTL40 LINK system, connect the various signal sources using good quality cables designed for video applications (rated impedance 75 [IMG]).
Ensure that:
- the cables are routed in such a way that they do not present an obstruction to people moving around the room;
- the connectors are inserted carefully to avoid damaging the pins;
• the cables are not twisted or crushed; - when disconnecting the cables the connectors are not violently pulled out of the connectors on the various units.
Video sources (television receivers, VCRs, DVD players, etc.) often feature several outputs. To obtain the best performance from your system, carefully choose which output to use. Generally, the type of signal offering the best picture quality is DVI-D, followed by RGB, Components, S-Video and Composite Video, in that order.
However, the HTL40 LINK system is equipped with an excellent Video Decoder and Deinterlacer and therefore even inferior quality signals will produce high quality results.
Table 1 shows the types of signals usually available for the most common types of video sources and the corresponding input connectors to use on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor.
Table 1
| DigiOpticTMImage Processor Connector | Video signal source connector | ||
| Y (green) | Y | Y | Y |
| Cr (red) | P_R | R-Y | V |
| Cb (blue) | P_B | B-Y U | |
VIDEO 1 2 3
These inputs should be connected to a Composite Video signal (CVBS) by means of a cable with an RCA connector.
The connector on the source is usually yellow and is frequently labelled VIDEO.
Although other types of signals are preferable (since they allow better picture quality), this is still the most common type of output, and nearly all television receivers, videorecorders, DVD players, video cameras, etc., are equipped with CVBS outputs.
S-VIDEO 4 5
These inputs should be connected to an S-Video signal by means of a cable with a 4-pin mini-DIN type connector.
The corresponding output on the source can be identified by the wording S-VIDEO or Y/C.
Almost as widespread as Composite Video, S-VIDEO is preferable because it offers a clearer and sharper picture.
COMPONENT / RGBS 6789
These inputs are composed of three sets of 5 RCA connectors (5,6,7) and a set of 5 BNC connectors (8).
Each set of connectors is suitable for RGB and Component signals.
RGB signals can have the following synchronisations: composite sync on the green signal (RGsB), H+V Composite Sync, or separate H/V Sync.
Connect the R, G, B outputs of the source to the respective R, G, B inputs of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor (taking care not to invert the positions) and any synchronisation signals to the HV input or the
H and V inputs. When connecting the three sets of RCA connectors use the colours as a guide: connector R is red, G is green, B is blue, H/HV is white and V is black.
By using a suitable SCART to RCA (or BNC) connector adapter cable, an RGB video signal from a source equipped with an SCART connector can be connected to this input.
Component signals are connected to inputs Y, Cr and Cb, taking care to observe the correspondence with the outputs on the source. Since the latter can be labelled in various ways, refer to Table 1 to establish the correspondence between the various signals. The connector colours can also be of help, as shown in the table.
Input 5 can receive RGB and YCrCb signals not higher than 32 kHz. In effect, to provide high picture quality even with relatively inaccurate sources, the input signal is processed by specific circuits in the DigiOptic™ Image Processor.
The video signals that can be connected to inputs 6-7-8 can have horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard video resolution), 32 kHz, or higher (progressive scanning video, high definition video).
Some sources provide the facility to choose between a progressive signal or an interlaced signal. Although in general a progressive signal is higher quality than an interlaced signal, it is often preferable to perform the deinterlacing operation on the HTL40 LINK system rather than on the source because the HTL40 LINK system is equipped with Faroudja's sophisticated directional correlation deinterlacing technology (DCDi™).
Progressive signals usually provide better quality than interlaced signals, but if the source features both progressive and deinter laced signal outputs it is good practice to compare the quality of the pictures reproduced by the HTL40 LINK system in the two cases: deinterlacing performed by the HTL40 LINK system (thanks to Faroudja DCDi™ technology) is often more effective than that performed at the source (typically a DVD player).
GRAPHICS RGB 10 11
This input should be connected to an RGB-type video or graphic signal using a cable with a DB15HD type connector.
The signal source device (typically a personal computer or game console) must be able to provide separate H/V synchronisation or composite H+V synchronisation.
The video or graphic signals that can be connected to this input can have horizontal scan frequencies (H-sync) of between 32 and 80 kHz and a vertical frequency (V-sync) of between 48 and 100 Hz. Image resolution can vary between 640x480 and 1600x1200 pixels (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA).
DVI-D 12
This input provides the facility to exploit the quality of the digital image to its best advantage. If the source is equipped with a DVI-D, YCrCb or RGB output, connect it to this input to get the most out of your HTL40 LINK system.
HDMI
This input provides the facility to integrate the excellent quality of a digital image with a multichannel audio signal.
In fact the High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI ^™ ) combines the uncompressed high definition video signal with a multi-channel audio signal.
In addition, the interface enables control data to be exchanged between the video source and the HT system in order to optimise the displayed picture.
The HDMI ^™ input makes it possible to connect to video sources that use the High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection protocol (HDCP) to protect their contents. This is possible because the HDCP protocol forms part of the definition of HDMI ^™ technology.
Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI™-input, the internal processing performed by the DigiOptic™ Image Processor separates the video and audio information. The audio information is made available on a digital output with a female TOSLINK connector in compliance with the S/PDIF standard.
CONTROL (RS232)
The system can be controlled via a personal computer or home automation systems by means of the serial port: simply connect this input via a serial cable from an RS232 serial port. On request, SIM2 will send you a document containing the serial port settings and a list of the main commands.
5 SWITCHING ON AND OFF
The HTL40 LINK system consists of the Screen and the DigiOptic™ Image Processor (which is also the system control centre). The DigiOptical Image Processor sends commands to the screen and receives operating status information from the screen and function commands from the user.
The system can be controlled from either the remote control (via the infrared sensors on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and on the screen) or the keypad located at the top of the LCD panel. However, the power supply to the two units is separate.
After interconnecting the units via the fibre optic cable (see CONNECTING THE TWO UNITS") they must both be connected to the electrical mains supply.
Now proceed with the power-up procedure described below.
Power-up sequence
1) Set the LCD screen power switch at the bottom of the rear panel to "I" (ON) (Fig.16A).
2) Set the DigiOptic™ Image Processor power switch on the external power supply unit to "I" (ON) (Fig.15B).
Caution! In this phase make sure the DigiOptic™ Image Processor ON/OFF button (Fig. 16C) is in the OFF position: in this condition the indicator LEDs on the front panel of the DigiOptical™ Image Processor should not be lit.
3) Power-up of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor (Fig.16C).
4) Wait for a few seconds.
5) Power-up the system by pressing one of the number buttons 0...9 on the remote control (Fig.16D).
Caution! The power-up sequence described at points 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 must be observed in full; otherwise the system will not initialise properly and the power-up sequence must be repeated in accordance with the proper procedure.
(Fig.16)
After a few seconds (system initialisation interval), the DigiOptical™ Image Processor and the Screen assume stand-by mode.
System status information is provided by two LEDs (green and blue) on the front panel of the DigiOptical™ Image Processor and on the rear of the screen.
Significant status signals are illustrated in Table 2.
Table 2
| Status | DigiOpticTM Image Processor | Projector | |
| Green LED | Blue LED Blue LED | ||
| Off | ○ | ○ | ○ |
| Initialisation | ● | ● | ○ |
| Standby | ○ | ● | ● |
| On | ● | ○ | ○ |
| Optical link not active | ● | ☀ | ● |
| Caution | ○ | - | |
| Error | ○ | - | |
If the "No optical link" or "Error" signals are active the system will not function; if the "Warning" signal is active the system will operate but it may be unable to read certain input signals correctly.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF FROM STAND BY
Switching on the system (Fig.17):
• from the remote control (keys 0-9)
• from the screen keypad (keys ▲ and ▼).
Typically, the picture will appear after 15-20 seconds.
Fig.17
Pressing a key from 1-9 on the remote control selects the corresponding input; pressing 0 selects the input that was active at the time the system was last switched off.
Switching off the system (Fig.18):
• from the remote control (key ⏻)
• from the screen keypad (key ⏻)
Fig.18
If you wish to power off the two units completely, wait at least one minute in stand-by to allow the units to cool before setting the mains power switches to the "O" position or unplugging the power supply cables.
If power is disconnected from the Screen unit (e.g. setting the mains power switch to the "O" position or inadvertently unplugging the power cable), to restart the HTL40 LINK system also power-off the DigiOptic™ Image Processor unit and repeat the power-up sequence described at points 1 and 5.
If the fibre optic link between the two units is interrupted (e.g. by removing one or more cables) to restore normal system operation switch off the two units by means of the mains power switches, restore the fibre optic connections, and then repeat power-up mode steps 1 and 5.
6 KEYPAD
The keypad on the top of the screen features eight keys providing the facility for complete control of the unit even without the remote control.

7 REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control serves to control the system from a distance. The system is equipped with two infrared sensors, at the front and rear of the screen and on the front panel of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor.
Avoid placing obstructions between the remote control and the infrared sensor: this will impair the link between the two units. The remote control requires four 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries. In -sert the batteries, taking care to match the polarity, as indicated in the battery compartment in the handset (Fig. 20). Change the remote control batteries if you experience difficulty in transmitting commands to the system. Remove the batteries from the remote control if it is to remain unused for a long period of time to avoid the risk of potentially harmful chemical leaks.

The input selection menu is called by pressing 0 on the remote control and, when no other menu is displayed, also using the ▲ and ▼ keys on the keypad. To select an input, scroll through the list with the ▲ and ▼ keys until the required input is highlighted, then press ◀. Display of the input selection menu is terminated by pressing the ESC key or when the On-Screen Menu display timeout interval (set in the MENU SETUP) has elapsed.
Input 5 can receive RGB and YCrCb signals no higher than 32 kHz.
Inputs 6-7-8 can receive RGB and YCrCb signals, at 15 kHz, 32 kHz or higher. The association between the input and the type of signal is made on the pull-down menu that appears on the right of the < symbol after pressing the ◀ key (Fig. 21b).
Fig. 21a
Fig. 21b
In the pull-down menu it is also possible to select the horizontal frequency manually or use the AutoSync option; in this case the system automatically recognises the input signal horizontal frequency
(15KHz, 32KHz or higher). Input 11 can receive YCrCb or RGB signals from DVI-D sources. The selection must be made on the pull-down menu following the previously illustrated system.
After selecting the source signal (by means of the ▲ and ▼ keys), press MENU+/MENU - to confirm and close the pull-down menu; the value you have just entered will be displayed to the right of the < symbol.
In general, the selection become operational for all inputs after pressing the ▶ key.
Once the input has been selected, a brief phase starts during which the system analyses the applied signal. During this interval a box appears with an indication relative to the signal requested. As soon as the system locks on to the signal the picture is displayed and a window appears containing information relative to the specific video format and standard (for video signals) or the resolution (for graphic signals).
In the SETUP menu you can select whether or not to display this information; for further details refer to the SOURCE INFORMATION heading in the "MENU" section.
MAIN MENU
To access the main On Screen Display menu, press the MENU key on the keypad or the MENU+ or MENU - key on the remote control. The main menu is divided into four windows, PICTURE, IMAGE, SETUP and MENU, in which the various adjustments are grouped according to the frequency of use. Use the ▶ and ◀ keys to select the line corresponding to the adjustment you wish to make (Fig. 22).
Fig. 22
The various menus offer only the relevant adjustments in accordance with the type of input signal displayed. For this reason, for example, when the source is a graphic signal certain typical adjustments for video signals do not appear on the menus, and vice versa when the source is a video signal.
Some adjustments (e.g. BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST) are associated with a numerical value that can be varied within the set limits using the ▶ and ◀ keys. For others (e.g. VIDEO TYPE) you can choose between two options presented on the same line (and selectable using the ▶ and ◀ keys).
Other adjustments (identified by by the symbol < ) are associated with submenus, which appear as a superimposed window in which the selection is made with the and keys (Fig.23).
Fig. 23A
Fig. 23B
These submenus are accessed by pressing the < key. To quit the submenu and return to the higher level press the MENU+/- keys. Press ESC on the remote control or keypad to abandon the menu display or wait for it to disappear automatically after the number of seconds set in the SETUP page.
PICTURE
This menu features the adjustments related to picture quality. Adjustments that are not available for a specific input will not be displayed on the menu. Table 3 summarises the adjustments available for each input. For a complete overview of the on-screen menus, consultation SCREEN MENU LAYOUT' in the "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" section.
BRIGHTNESS
Use this control to adjust the darker areas of the picture (black level), without significantly affecting bright areas. For correct adjustment it may prove useful to display a grey scale with at least twenty bands. Now try to reduce the brightness of the black band as much as possible while ensuring that it can still be distinguished from the adjacent band with brightness slightly higher than black. Alternatively use a scene composed of black objects alongside other dark coloured objects and try to keep all the objects separately identifiable.
CONTRAST
Use this control to adjust the brighter areas of the image (white level), without significantly affecting dark areas. For correct adjustment it may prove useful to display a grey scale with at least twenty bands. Now try to increase the brightness of the white band as much as possible while ensuring that it can still be distinguished from the adjacent band with brightness slightly less than white. Alternatively use a scene composed of well-lit white objects surrounded by light coloured objects with lower level lighting, and try to ensure that all the objects remain separately identifiable.
COLOUR
This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases the picture colour intensity. When set to zero, colour images will be shown in black and white. Increasing the value, try to find the point at which the colours look natural: suitable references include skin tones and grass in landscape shots.
TINT
Controls the purity of colours. Basically determines the red-green ratio of the picture.
Reducing the value will boost the red contents of the picture, in -creasing it will boost the green tones. For this adjustment use skin tones or a test card image with colour bars as a reference.
SHARPNESS
This adjustment serves to modulate the signal to increase or decrease the level of picture detail. When the sharpness value is reduced the image details appear less pronounced, while increasing the value raises image definition, making the outline of objects sharper. Note that an excessively high value may result in a 'noisy' picture and the edges of objects may appear unnaturally clearly defined.
SHARPNESS MODE
This allows you to select the type of processing associated with sharpness adjustment. In the case of a progressive or interlaced video signal VIDEO mode is advisable; with PC graphic signals use GRAPHIC mode.
FILTER
This allows you to select the mode in which the input signal is processed.
Selecting the most appropriate value for a given input signal ensures the best horizontal and vertical definition and makes the picture sharper.
CINEMA MODE
Use this option if the video signal source is a movie film (obtained from a Teleciné device with 3:2 or 2:2 pull-down). In this case a deinterlace algorithm optimized for this type of signal is applied. Selecting AUTO mode causes the de-interlacer to analyse signal characteristics and apply the correct deinterlace mode automatically. Selecting the NO option causes the de-interlacer to apply a Motion compensated algorithm optimized for video camera signals.
VIDEO TYPE
Inserts a filter that improves stability of images from videorecorders or DVD players. To toggle between NORMAL and VCR mode, press the 🔗 key on the remote control or select the value on the On Screen Display.
NOISE REDUCTION
This adjustment serves to select the noise reduction filter value. When the option is selected in the menu the picture is divided into two. On the left hand side the picture is not affected by the filter while the filter is active on the right hand side; this makes it possible to compare the changes resulting from noise filtration with a clean unfiltered image. It is possible to deactivate the filter (NOT ACTIVE) using the automatic (AUTO) setting or manually (MANUAL) selecting the most suitable value for the picture with the VALUE adjustment. In this latter case it is sufficient to position the cursor under the values and make the required setting with the ▶ e ◀ keys on the remote control. A specific function (SKIN TONES ADJUSTMENT) can be used in conjunction with NOISE REDUCTION in order to make skin tones appear more natural. In fact, it is frequently the case that the reduction of noise is accompanied by a slight degradation of the picture in skin tone areas, while using this function makes it possible to obtain optimum quality of the entire picture.

IMAGE
This menu features adjustments relating to picture position, aspect ratio, magnification etc.
ASPECT
This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You can select a different aspect for each source: the selected aspect ratio will be automatically called the next time the relative source is called. You can also select the required aspect ratio by repeatedly pressing the ◀, or by pressing and numerical key (1...8). The following aspects are available.
NORMAL: projects the image occupying the full height of the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal. When the input signal aspect ratio is 4:3 black vertical bands are displayed on the right and left of the picture.
ANAMORPHIC: allows a 16:9 picture to be displayed correctly.
LETTERBOX: serves to display a 4:3 letterbox image (with source signal having black bands above and below the picture) so that it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect ratio.
PANORAMIC: stretches the 4:3 image, slightly cropping the upper and lower parts. Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4:3 image on the 16:9 screen of the Display.
PIXEL TO PIXEL: displays the image as it is input without adapting it to the screen.
The image is projected in the centre of the screen and if its horizontal and/or vertical dimensions are smaller than the display, it is bounded by vertical and/or horizontal black bands.
USER 1, 2, 3: when none of the preset formulas are suitable, the User formulas are available, with the facility for continuous horizontal and vertical adjustment of picture size.
COLOUR TEMPERATURE
Changes the colour balance of the image and is referred to the colour temperature of white. Colours can be adjusted towards the red end of the spectrum (low colour temperature values - expressed in degrees Kelvin) or the blue end (high values). Colour temperature can be selected with three preset values: HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW. In addition, a USER setting is provided in which the user can set the white point by making separate adjustments for Red, Green and Blue. Generally, the HIGH value is more suitable for displaying graphic images, while MEDIUM and LOW values are preferable for video images.
GAMMA CORRECTION
Determines the system's response to the grey scale, emphasising or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks, dark, medium, light grey, whites) in the projected image. The GRAPHIC setting is more suitable for computer images, while the VIDEO and FILM settings are more suitable for video images.
OVERSCAN
Eliminates irregularities around the outer borders of the image. Certain relatively inaccurate sources can produce an image with more or less pronounced irregularities around the outer edges; thanks to the overscan function these imperfections can be moved to outside the displayed area. Overscan values can be between 0 (no overscanning) and 32 (maximum overscanning). The resulting image always maintains the selected aspect irrespective of the selected overscan value.
POSITION
Use this adjustment to position the image vertically and horizontally. Determines the aspect of the displayed image.
These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system examines the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values. However, if the image is not perfectly centralised it may prove useful to repeat the input signal analysis and the consequent image positioning procedure. This automatic control procedure is activated by pressing key "A" on the remote control. When this procedure is called it is helpful to have a white or light coloured background on the screen in the current picture.
FREQUENCY/PHASE
These adjustments, available for progressive signals and for signals from a PC, ensure correspondence between the number of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels that make up the projected image.
These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system examines the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values. However, if the image appears disturbed (loss of resolution within equidistant vertical bands or instability and lack of sharpness on narrow vertical lines) it may help to prompt the system to repeat the input signal analysis and consequent determination of the frequency and phase parameters. This automatic control procedure is activated by pressing key "A" on the remote control. If the automatic procedure fails to have the required effect, enter the frequency and phase values manually and move sufficiently near to the screen to observe the effects of the adjustments.
Y/C DELAY
In the case of Video and S-Video signals, it may be necessary to correct horizontal colour misalignment within the projected image. For a given video standard (e.g. PAL or NTSC) the stored value does not normally require further fine-tuning, unless the source or connection cable is changed.

▲ and ▼keys are pressed.
MESSAGES
The following messages may appear during operation of the system:
No Signal
The system does not recognise any signal applied to the selected input. In this case:
- Make sure the selected input is connected to a video or graphic signal and that that source is functioning correctly.
- Check the condition of the cables used to connect the system to the various sources.
- Make sure the video or graphic signals supplied by the source are compatible with the system's technical specifications and, in particular, with those of the selected input.
Out of range
This message appears when either the resolution or the vertical/horizontal frequency of the input signal exceeds system specifications (e.g. a QXGA graphic signal) or when an input is supplied with an incompatible signal (e.g. after setting the components input to YCrCb 15kHz a progressive signal is connected).
9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
