Denon 3910 Black Level question..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi!

Should the Black Level setting on the 3910 be set to Normal or Enhanced?
When I put it on Enhanced, the "Blacker than Black" bar on the DVE disc setup-picture dissapears. Shouldn't it be opposit? That this bar shoulden't show when the black level is set to normal?

Tommy!

do a search tommy....there are plenty of info on this subject in the 3910 owner's thread...

You should set your player to normal mode, and then goto your Mode settings (where you have the STD-M1-M2-M3-M4-M5-etc ) and go all the way to the right, and set your IRE to 0 (from 7.5). Now you can adjust your Black levels to get a proper setting, and still have BTB.

From what I read on Secrets, you should set IRE to 0 and Black to Normal. Then adjust contrast and brightness on your display using DVE. These settings work well for me on my DLP (I get BTB).

What is your connection method? If you are using DVI or HDMI->DVI it should stay normal. If it's HDMI-HDMI that adjustment shouldnt affect anything if you're outputting YCbCr via HDMI. Normal maintains Video levels, Enhanced expands to PC levels and clips BTB/peak white levels which is why you lose the BTB bars.
