I just recently purchased a JVC 70BK dvd player to replace my old Sony 550, which is being used on a Wega XBR400.
When i first hooked up the JVC the picture seemed too vivid, don't know if that would be the correct word to use, I realize the progressive output is suppose to be more vibrant but it seemed almost to the point where i was losing detail. I had long before, hooking up the JVC, changed the axis, etc... in the service menu and had the set calibrated using Avia paired with my old Sony player. So i began to re-calibrate using Avia paired with the JVC in the progressive mode, as well as the TV.
After recalibrating, the picture seemed very soft and colors were not nearly as distinct, not to mention it changed the entire look of my cable, but thats kind of irrelevant. I've tried many discs, and one problem in particular, is with Ep 1 as the lightsabers don't seem as striking and during the desert scenes there seems to be a graininess in the sky. As well as other discs i have tried which all seem muted since i re-did Avia. Now could this be a problem with the picture setting, brightness, sharpness? Being as those are the ones i seem to have the toughest time getting a distinct read on?
If someone is using the same equipment i would really apreciate it if they could give me there settings, i need a new starting point as i have screwed up the picture enough by myself. I have also read most of the other posts regarding this player and it seems that the best thing to do is leave the user modes for the JVC alone, so i have not touched that, one thing i don't think i could have caused a problem with.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Jon
BTW i apologize if this should be in the TV and Projector section
