The remote control setup sequence for common configurations is described below. For additional
information, see the Installation Commands section of the User Manual and Installer Guide.
•Connect video cables and power. Turn all required components on.
•Set the output type. Use RGBHV (default) if display has an RGBHV input. Examples:
YPRPBtrilevel: MENU 11OK Component with embedded trilevel sync
YPRPBbilevel: MENU 11ˆOK Component with embedded bilevel sync
RGB H−V−: MENU 12OK RGB with discrete H−and V−sync (default)
RGB S−: MENU 13OK RGB with discrete composite−sync (default)
RGsB: MENU 14ˆOK RGB with embedded bilevel sync
•Set the output resolution. For a fixed pixel device use the maximum resolution it accepts, not
its native resolution. This will improve the picture unless there is a major design flaw in the
fixed pixel display. The commands are as follows:
480p: MENU 21540p: MENU 22600p: MENU 23
720p: MENU 24768p: MENU 25840p: MENU 26
1080p: MENU 271080i: MENU 28
Other: MENU 3value OK, where value is the resolution (e.g. 9, 0, 0)
•Set the vertical refresh rate (default = 59.94 Hz). For NTSC, use the default. For PAL using
50.00 Hz is optimal, but higher rates can be used to reduce flicker. Press “MENU 4value OK ”
where “value ” is the vertical refresh rate in hundredths. For example a vertical refresh rate of
59.94 is entered as MENU 45 9 9 4 OK.
•Set the output aspect ratio. Press “MENU 6value OK ” where “value ” is the desired screen
aspect ratio in hundredths (16:9 is MENU 6178, 4:3 is MENU 6133)
•For MENU commands press the MENU button, use arrow keys to highlight the next item in the list
and press the OK button. An “→”denotes levels in the menu hierarchy.
•Play a DVD calibration disc and select it as the input source. Typically either AVIA™ or
Digital Video Essentials™ calibration DVDs are used.
•Display one of the test images with “overscan” markers. On AVIA one such test pattern is the
200 TVL chart in the Advanced AVIA section. Select the appropriate input aspect ratio so the
test pattern is full-screen (e.g. 16:9 for a 16:9 screen aspect ratio).
•Adjust output size and position to minimize the amount of overscan. In other words, try to get
the entire active image on-screen. If the display has output size and position, use it rather than
the Lumagen controls. Otherwise use the following Lumagen commands:
For sizing: MENU →OUT →RES →SIZE →[…, †, ˆ, ‡], OK
For positioning: MENU →OUT →RES →POS →[…, †, ˆ, ‡], OK
•Adjust the input size and position using the Lumagen controls. When the Lumagen input size
controls are selected, the corner of the image being adjusted is moved toward the center of the
screen to simplify accurate calibration. First adjust the top-left of the image so that all active
pixels are on-screen. Then adjust the bottom-right.
For top-left: MENU →IN →ADJ →SIZE →TOPL →[…, †, ˆ, ‡], OK
For bottom-right: MENU →IN →ADJ →SIZE →BTMR →[…, †, ˆ, ‡], OK
•Recheck the output size and position and readjust as necessary.

•Set the output black pedestal. This specifies if output blank and black are the same (0 IRE), or
if blank is a lower level than black (7.5 IRE). Typically this should be set to 0 IRE for fixed-
pixel displays, and 7.5 IRE for CRT based displays. The command is:
For 0 IRE: MENU →OUT →LEVL →PDSTL →0 IRE, OK
For 7.5 IRE: MENU →OUT →LEVL →PDSTL →7.5 IRE, OK
•Set the input black pedestal. This specifies if input blank and black are the same (0 IRE), or if
black is a higher level than blank (7.5 IRE). Typically this should be set to 0 IRE for
component inputs, and to 7.5 IRE for composite and SVideo, but this is not always the case. If
uncertain, 0 IRE is the safest selection. The command is:
For 0 IRE: MENU →IN →ADJ →PDSTL →0 IRE, OK
For 7.5 IRE: MENU →IN →ADJ →PDSTL →7.5 IRE, OK
•Set the black level. Use the AVIA “PLUGE” which has vertical bars moving left and right for
2 and 4 IRE (black is 0 IRE) and at 96 and 98 IRE (white is 100 IRE). For calibrating black,
look at the 2 and 4 IRE bars and adjust so the 4 IRE bar is visible and the 2 IRE bar is barely
visible. Note for many displays the black level will not be constant between dark and light
scenes, so some compromise may be needed. If the display has a black level control (also
called “brightness”), use it for the DVD input, then use the Lumagen controls for differences in
other inputs. The command is:
MENU →IN →COLR →BLCK →[‡,ˆ], OK
•Set the white level. Use the AVIA PLUGE pattern. For calibrating white, look at the 96 and 98
IRE bars and adjust so the 96 IRE bar is visible and the 98 IRE bar is barely visible against
white. If the display has a contrast level control, use it for the DVD input, then use the
Lumagen controls for differences in other inputs. The command is:
MENU →IN →COLR →CONT →[‡,ˆ], OK
•Set Color and Hue using the Lumagen controls. Use the Advanced AVIA color test pattern.
Follow instructions on the AVIA disc for using the blue filter and the color bars for use with
the blue filter.
For color: MENU →IN →COLR →COLR →[…, †, ˆ, ‡], OK
For bottom-right: MENU →IN →COLR →HUE →[…, †, ˆ, ‡], OK
•Set Y/C Delay (formerly called CPHASE). One pattern to use is the Y/C-Delay pattern in the
Special Test section of Advanced AVIA. On the right half of the image there are red and
yellow vertical bars. Adjust the yellow-red transitions to minimize any black.
MENU →IN →ADJ →YC-DLY →[…, †], OK
•The grayscale “color-of-gray” should be calibrated by a video technician. Have them contact
Lumagen for the service codes to access the five-point color of gray calibration.
•Copy the DVD configuration to all configuration memories (MENU →IN →COPY →OK).
•Calibrate other inputs, if desired.
•Name the inputs, if desired (MENU →IN →NAME →OK and follow directions).
•Set power-on message, if desired (MENU →MISC →POWR →MSG →[…, †, ˆ, ‡], OK)
•Lock the configuration, if desired (MENU →MISC →LOCK →LOCKED, OK)
•Save the configuration (MENU →SAVE →SAVE, OK)
