Page 86

Adjusting the Vertical Position

The Vert. Pos (Vertical Position) control adjusts the amount of blanking before each video frame. Incorrect vertical position adjustment can cause the projected image to extend above or below the viewing area, video frame overlap (lines from the bottom of one frame superimposed on the top of the next frame, or a horizontal or vertical double image).

Adjusting the VCO Gain

The Voltage Control Oscillator’s (VCO) gain affects how well the Dot Clock locks to the incoming horizontal sync signal. Incorrect VCO Gain is indicated by lines shooting through the display or severely compressed or shifted displays.
