- Confirm TV input set to HDR/Dolby Vision mode when disc starts.
- In player menu, choose highest-quality audio (Dolby Atmos/DTS‑HD MA).
- Disable motion smoothing on TV (judder/soap-opera effect).
- Use display presets: Cinema/Filmmaker mode for accurate colors and film cadence.
- Calibrate brightness/contrast if possible (or use built-in HDR calibration tools).
