Calibrating different inputs

Just setting up our new LG LD400.

Went to the library and grabbed a copy of Freak Friday, the only DVD I could find there with the THX Optimizer. Regular DVD player with component cables.

Picture looked fine after I adjusted the settings.

Watching Law & Order on my 8300HD cable box (via HDMI), the scenes were way too dark. Then I realized that the settings were individual to each input.

So what's the solution? Do I just copy the settings from the DVD input to the HDMI input, game input, etc?

If tools like calibration DVDs or Spyder work off of a DVD, how do I calibrate my cable box connection?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info.

It's too bad they couldn't build some test patterns into the SARA firmware menus.
