well I just popped in this disc today and watched most of it. But first, im the a part where you're supposed to use the color filter to adjust blue,red & green settings. So i adjusted the blue, then red, but the green was off. the 6 boxes it shows had different shades of green from the backround. What am I doing wrong? how would you adjust that?

You might not be doing anything wrong. The filters are notorious for getting you close but not being absolutely accurate. There are color isolation controls in the a3000's service menu, but that would not be recommended for most people. It's also possible to measure it with a meter.
Chances are, unless there's a colorspace problem with your source, your SXRD's color decoding is accurate at or near the default positions. I have found that to be the case after calibrating many of them.

ok ill just leave it how it is i guess

ok and im doing it on my ps3 HDMI1. So when im done, should I copy the settings over to the other input? the other one is HDMI2 i have dish HD...?

Yes, that's what I would recommend.

which color decoder do i choose? ITU601 or ITU709 ? im assuming the only way to change is in the "Color Matrix" menu. its on itu709 right now

yes no ????

yes no ????
Leave it at 709, eagles. The jist of it is, 709 represents the color space for HD; 601, for SD.
