IMAGE
Most adjustment functions, when selected, display a slidebar overlayed on the source image. The slidebar displays the current setting and indicates which arrow keys to use for making the adjustment. Adjustment settings are stored in the current setup memory (Input or Recall). There are two exceptions: 1) If the current setup memory is locked, new adjustment settings are shown but not stored; they are discarded when another setup memory is selected. 2) If ASR is on for the current input and an ASI is performed, the settings are only temporary and are not saved in the current setup memory.
For new images, where much adjustment is required, it is recommended that adjustments be made using the sequence illustrated above. When making picture or geometry adjustments, follow the sequence displayed in the adjustment menu.
