Just when I think I'm doing something right, I find I need to go back to HT 101 and start all over.
How do you properly calibrate video with Avia/VE? Do you only calibrate for DVD?
I figured you connect the DVD player (RP91 in my case) directly to the TV with component cables and go from there. I now find out that this connection bypasses the TV color decoder so I end up calibrating the DVD player's color decoder instead.
But if this is so, then why does the TV remote/video menu change anything? And where does that leave color settings for cable/vcr viewing?
I noticed my settings changed quite a bit on my JVC std def TV when I hooked it to the DVD player with S-video (so I could compare it to the new digital set connected via component cables). I ran Avia & VE and recalibrated both sets at the same time. I had PScan on (for component out).
I also noticed I had to turn off PS in order to see the blacker-than-black bar on the pluge test with VE... but not with Avia.. (if that matters).
sign me.. dazed and confused in HT dreamland..
