Some More SXRD Questions...

Perhaps Bandphan or someone else could assist with this...

When I switch my KDS-50A2020 to, say, Standard picture mode BEFORE my Blu-ray player is turned on, I can scroll down the picture adjustments and notice that after "Noise Reduction" there is an adjustment for the DRC (seemingly "locked" on "High Density") and something else -- ONCE I switch my Blu-ray player ON, these options disappear in the Standard mode's menu...

Now, when I use Custom picture mode, those two adjustment selections which I mentioned, DRC and something else, are present in the picture adjustment menu constantly, BUT, they are GREYED OUT and locked when I switch my Blu-ray player on...

Is this because the Blu-ray player is sending the screen a 1080p signal, so DRC and the other control is locked out? If so, why do these options disappear in Standard mode when I switch the BD player on?

Can someone explain this please?

It is processing for upscaling, and your display is native 1080 so none needed.

Yes, but what about if the set is fed something LESS than 1080p? Wouldn't it then NEED some kind of upscaling?

Furthermore, why do these menus behave like this? That is -- in Standard, they pop up when my source player isn't turned on, then disappear when it is, and then in Custom, the DRC Palate and other option is there, but greyed out/locked?
