Scenario mode (default setting)
Scenario mode has five preset viewing modes designed to give you the best picture quality when watching a particular kind of
program. There are five pre-defined audio and video settings for optimal enjoyment of the following scenarios: Standard TV,
Movie, Sport, Concert, Game, User.
Mode Information
Standard Standard mode allows you to watch your favorite channels with sharp, brilliant imagery via adaptive brightness
and contrast adjustments. Clear-sounding audio is provided by BBE performance.
Movie
For comfortably enjoying movies at home, Movie mode displays dim scenes in clear detail; compensates
for color; and smoothly presents motion images. This is accomplished through optimal Gamma correction
plus saturation, brightness and contrast adjustments. Movie mode makes the most of high-definition movie
soundtracks by using SRS WOW technology.
Game
Game mode carefully details the exquisite graphics of modern video games, providing lifelike entertainment
while protecting your eyesight by adjusting brightness and contrast. What's more, Game mode provides a
heightened audio experience via BBE technology.
Sports
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. Precise audio can be heard, thanks to BBE performance.
Concert
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 using BBE technology.
