										Page	38				Adjusting TV settings You	can	adjust	most	picture	and	sound	settings	while	you	are	watching	a	program	by	pressing	Þ	to	display	the	Options	menu.	If	you	don’t	find	what	you	need,	there	are	additional	picture	and	sound	settings	in	the	Settings	menu.	In	most	cases,	the	changes	you	make	apply	only	to	the	input	you	are	using.	Antenna	TV,	each	separate	HDMI®	input,	and	the	AV	input	have	their	own	settings	that	the	TV	remembers	when	you	return	to	that	input.	The	TV	also	remembers	the	settings	you	specify	while	viewing	streaming	content.	Settings menu Use	the	Settings	menu	to	adjust	overall	TV	settings.	Press		to	go	to	the	Home	screen,	and	then	navigate	to	Settings	>	TV	picture	settings.	You	can	adjust	the	following	overall	TV	picture	settings	from	the	Settings	screen:	• TV	brightness	–	If	the	lighting	level	in	your	TV	room	changes,	use	this	setting	to	help	provide	a	better	viewing	experience;	set	to	darker	for	a	darker	room,	and	brighter	for	a	brighter	room.	Choose	among	Normal	and	four	other	settings	to	make	the	overall	picture	brighter	or	darker.	So	that	you	don’t	have	to	make	this	type	of	change	for	each	TV	input	one	at	a	time,	this	setting	increases	or	decreases	the	TV’s	general	brightness	across	all	TV	inputs.	This	setting	is	identical	to	the	TV	brightness	setting	you	can	access	in	the	Options	menu	while	watching	a	program.		• Settings	per	input	–	This	section	of	options	lists	each	TV	input.	Select	an	input	to	switch	to	that	input.	Then	press	Þ	to	display	the	Options	menu,	where	you	can	adjust	the	input’s	settings	while	watching	a	live	picture	and	listening	to	the	sound	from	that	input.	Tip:	You	don’t	have	to	go	to	the	Settings	menu	first—you	can	display	an	input’s	Options	menu	and	adjust	its	settings	whenever	you	are	watching	the	input	by	pressing	Þ.
