I'll have to check the next time I fire up the Z2, I used to use the built in Cinema mode, but now use one of the Customer menu settings so I can save my changes. If I recall for Component hookup, I think it is like this:

Contrast -20
Brightness -3
Sharpness -5
Gamma +5
Red, Blue, Green all set to 0
Tint 0
Auto Grayscale turned Off
I run the lamp mode in low mode, that way the fan is quieter and my basement is totally light controlled so I don't need hi mode.

I have the apeture adjustment on the lens to about half way position.

I don't have the THX Blue glasses so I have to skip the Blue Letter test.

For HDMI, it is pretty much the same, however, I lower my Contrast even lower, around -28, and set the Gamma to +7, and Sharpness to -7.

Part of the problem is that my Panasonic S97S DVD player also has all of these settings, so I never know which ones to adjust
