Question
How can I improve the picture quality of my TV?
Answer
In order to enjoy the highest picture quality available, make sure that your setup complies with the following conditions:
- Connect the signal source by means of a HDMI cable.
- Verify that the source signal is of High Definition (HD) content, which means either the 1080i or the 1080p video format.
Note: If your external device does not have HDMI outputs, the next best option is the YPbPr- (or component-, or YUV-) connection.
You will only be able to enjoy the full advantages of High Definition content if you connect your external device by means of a HDMI cable.
Although an analog connection does not offer the same quality, you can still obtain an excellent picture if you observe the following guidelines:
- Check your cables and cable-connections.
- Make all your cables as short as possible.
- Use high quality antenna cable.
- Connect the plugs well into their sockets.
- Do not use an antenna cable splitter. Splitting the signal will make it considerably weaker.
- Change the picture settings on your TV. The standard configuration is set to match the conditions in a TV shop.
You can use the 'AUTO MODE' button on the remote control to set your TV to a predefined picture mode that will give you the best picture quality.
Alternatively, follow these steps to select the settings that suit to your preferences:
- Press the 'MENU' button on the remote control to display the main menu.
- Select TV SETTINGS and press the cursor right to display the TV settings menu.

- Press the cursor up/down to access the PICTURE settings.
- Press the cursor right to select and the cursor up/down to adjust them according to your preferences.
