			==== Test patterns... ====
			This is a variation of a pluge pattern, with both white and black. It is only accurate if you have "Use limited color range (16-235)" active.

			Top left and bottom right quadrants: This is used to set the brightest part of the video. It consists of a black (0,0,0 - see note below) area with a white (235,235,235) block in the center and a blinking circle in the very center. The circle blinks alternately between 255,255,255 and 222,222,222. On a properly calibrated display you should be able to see the 222,222,222 circle as dimmer than the surrounding rectangle. But the 255,255,255 circle should look the same as the 235,235,235 surround. Some say that having a bit of headroom isn't a bad thing so seeing 255,255,255 as slightly brighter than the surrounding rectangle is okay. It's your call.

			NOTE: This is incorrect! It should be (16,16,16)! No broadcast video signal should ever go below that! (0,0,0) black is illegal for broadcast video! ONLY VALUES 16-235 ARE LEGAL!!!

			Top right and bottom left quadrants: This is used to set the darkest part of the video. It consists of a white (235,235,235) area with a black (16,16,16) block in the center and a blinking circle in the very center. The circle blinks alternately between 0,0,0 and 28,28,28. On a properly calibrated display you should be able to see the 28,28,28 circle as brighter than the surrounding rectangle. But the 0,0,0 circle should look the same as the 16,16,16 surround.

			The thin frame line denotes a 10% overscan area.

==== Video calibration... ====
{{see also|Settings/Appearance#Skin{{!}}Skin zoom settings}}
{{Note|Always adjust your TV display settings before Kodi's settings (such as overscan, etc). In most cases, you can get a "just scan/just fit/PC mode/something" mode turned on that will not require any adjustments in Kodi, and will allow for the best screen quality.}}
This screen allows you to calibrate the User Interface by adjusting the overscan. Use this tool if the image being displayed is too large or small for your display.<br />
Simply adjust the screen so that the arrows are in the top left and bottom right corners and that the entire frame is visible on screen.

It offers the ability to adjust:
* The overscan of the video - How close to the edges of the screen that the image is displayed.
* The position where subtitles are displayed (default 1042 for 1080p, 694 for 720p and 463 for 480p).
* The pixel ratio allows you calibrate the aspect ratio at which videos are played back.

{{redv|'''IMPORTANT NOTE:'''|
The "'''capable receiver'''" options relate only to the '''passthrough''' of audio to another device such as an AVR, where that device must support decoding of the format. Before leaving any "'''capable receiver'''" option enabled check to make sure that both the playback device running Kodi (e.g. HTPC) and the connected device (e.g. AVR) both support that format.

If you have a "'''capable receiver'''" option enabled that your device does not support then this will result in poor playback of video typically with a very low frames-per-second and no audio, so for example if the '''TrueHD capable receiver''' option were enabled then make sure that the playback device can passthrough TrueHD and that the connected device can decode TrueHD, if either of the devices do not support TrueHD then the '''TrueHD capable receiver''' option '''MUST''' be left disabled.

For any format where the "capable receiver" option is not selected, Kodi will still playback any content containing those audio types, however instead of the audio being passed through, Kodi will decode audio and then send the audio in a compatible format.

If connected directly to a TV be aware that TV are not compatible with DTS, TrueHD or DTS-HD, typically the only encoded format a TV will be compatible with is AC3.}}

=== Locked out? ===
Kodi will give you three tries when you need to enter a lock/password to access something that is locked. If you max out these three tries then just quit Kodi and re-open it to get three more tries. The Master Lock code is stored in the "'''profiles.xml'''" file in the [[userdata]] folder. Should you get locked out, you can delete or edit the "'''profiles.xml'''" file.

=== Advanced settings ===
{{note|It's generally not recommended to manually edit guisettings.xml at all. If you're unsure about this, don't touch it. Strange things might happen (maybe?). Spooooky.}}
The number of tries before being "locked out" can be tweaked by manually editing the guisettings.xml file in the [[userdata folder]].
