Question:

What is BD Wise and how does it affect my TV's performance? How do I enable/disable it?

Answer:

The BD Wise is a feature that is used when connecting to an external device with HDMI that also has the BD Wise feature. Before the external device sends a video signal the BD Wise feature will have the two devices "talk" to each other and they will determine the highest resolution that the content can be played at and which video scaler the two device will use, either the one in the TV or the one in the external device. Then one of the scaler will be bypassed and the video will play. Bypassing one of the scaler will enhance the video playback.

Note: Sometimes when this features is attempting to communicate depending on the length of the cable and other factors this "Talk" time may become to long and the time out. If this happens the TV may display "Mode not Supported" or no picture at all. If this happens set this feature to off, or replace your HDMI cable.

Default setting for this feature is 'On'. To change this setting follow these steps.

1. With the TV powered on press the MENU button. [The Main Menu will appear]

2. Use the ▲ or ▼ button to select the 'Setup' section of the main menu, and then press ENTER. [The Selection bar will move to the right side of the menu]

3. Use the  ▲ or ▼ button to select the 'BD Wise' feature, and then press ENTER. [A pop-up menu will appear]

4. Select 'On' or 'Off' depending on who you want the BD Wise feature on or off, and then press ENTER. [The pop-up menu will disappear]

5. Press EXIT to leave the menu.
