REMOTE
The remote control has just the right stuff. That is to say it doesn't attempt to control the sun,
moon and stars and your whole-house lighting. Refreshing. Button cluster is rampant on most of
the competition. This one has discrete "on" and "off". It has five discrete, assignable sources. It
has three assignable user (picture control) memories, including a password protected ISF
day/night mode. You can also "freestyle" with direct contrast, brightness, sharpness, gamma,
overscan and noise reduction buttons. Just remember where the calibrated settings are once uncle
Merle has gone home. There is also, of course, the obligatory cursor wheel for menu navigation
and a sequential aspect ratio button ... and, oh yeah, it's backlit. This remote also has a very cool
feature that custom installers will appreciate. If you hold down the "light" button for 5 seconds, it
activates a small light on the back of the projector just above the input connections. If you are up
on a ladder near the ceiling, trust me, you don't want to dedicate half of your hands to a
flashlight. Nice, unique touch!
As efficient as it is, as with most remotes on the coffee table, it's functionality will likely get
transferred to some user friendly touchscreen in any competent custom installation.
MENU
I believe the user menu for the LS-5 is the most comprehensive I have seen. The adjustments
offered or data displayed is available under six general headings.
The first meaty one, "Main" will give the average user everything he/she needs to get through the
$29 disc calibration. Standard user adjustments that replicate those on the remote can be found
there. "Color" and "Tint" are only available on analog video inputs, like "component", "S" and
"composite". For any incoming HDMI, the factory knows best. Having set the basics, one can go
on to several flavors of noise reduction. Selecting "Simple" lets the user dial in up to 200 "units"
of NR. I found going to 25 offered a bit of a cleanup. NR, of course, is a moving target. What
works one day on a given channel, may not work on an adjacent channel - and what works for
those two, may not tomorrow. You are truly at the mercy of the content and who's controlling the
MPeg compression knob at the head end. Use with caution. The "Advanced" button offers
"General", "Block" and "Mosquito" NR with the same 200 point resolution. Use with extra
caution. User memories, source selection. aspect ratio and overscan can also be accessed and
adjusted from this main tab.
The next tab, "Advanced", gives the calibrators what they want. You can select color space
(gamut), color temperature, gamma, two flavors of contrast fiddling; "Constant Contrast" which
engages the dynamic iris and "Adaptive Contrast" which evokes a filter in the image processor
that trades clipping for measured C.R. Experiment with those if you like, but know that an
experienced calibrator will turn both off. There is a control under this tab labeled "SatCo" (for
