Abstract: The invention describes a method for controlling a media content processing device (1). It is thereby determined whether a media content (VI) to be processed is described by a pre-defined content descriptor (CD1, CD2) from a multitude of pre-defined content descriptors (CD1, CD2). A device control parameter (P11, P12, P21, P22) is automatically adjusted based on the content descriptor (CD1, CD2) which describes the media content (VI) to be processed. Then, the media content processing device (1) is automatically controlled, based on the device control parameter (P11, P12, P21, P22).
