Calibration Question

Hello all

I have a question about calibrating TV and DVD. I will be setting up my cable box (moto 3412) and DVD player (panny s77) through HDMI receiver (JVC 401s) to TV (panny pt50lc14). When I run calibration DVD (Avia), should I set the DVD player settings all to 0 and then just calibrate the TV settings with the disc. I guess I am confused as the TV has settings and the DVD player has settings. Since the cable box and DVD player are being fed through HDMI the will both have the same settings through TV settings.

Hope I haven't made this question confusing

Thanks in advance for all the input.

The S77 sends out handicapped signals if you leave the DVD settings at 0 ... you need to look at the dvd brightness and contrast first ... then do the rest on the TV.

This is a S77 quirk ... and not the normal way of things.

I am a little confused. what do mean that it will be handicapped? Should I leave all settings other than the 2 you mentioned at 0 then? Under normal circumstances I would normally have all DVD settings at 0?

Sorry in advance for my confusion.

The base signal from the S77 in known to crush whites right off ... if you don't fix this ... then the TV receives crushed whites and you will never be able to fix it from the TV end. It's like me giving the TV 80% of the signal and how is the tv going to magically get back the missing 20% it never received?

Leave other settings at 0 ...
