DVD picture too dark-Any Help

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I I checked the menus and these are the video adjustments:Video Adjust Functions:

Sharpness/Brightness/Contrast/Gamma/Hue/Chroma Level Control

any further thoughts always appreciated. I must say forgetting fit n finish build quality, visually thus far my prior basic oppo blew this thing out of the water....

I experience no loss in picture quality with a HDMI to DVI adaptor, if I did I would have switched right back to Comp video so I dont know if that is an absolute rule. Are you technically sound with video adjustments or a real novice?

total novice -LOL - i can get to the menus listed above however.

Check your email when you have time.....cheers
