Adjusting contrast

Troubleshooting 101

 

Further parameter adjustments may be required to correct

 

image problems for the best input source selection. A basic

 

explanation of the adjustment functions follows.

 

Note: Parameter modifications are saved each time you

 

close the menus or turn off the power.

Adjusting contrast

Adjust the contrast so that the colors (particularly the gray

and brightness

shades) are right for the projected image. Buttons should

 

look three-dimensional, as they do on your monitor. Adjust

 

the Brightness to make the image clear.

Adjusting sync

Adjust the SYNC control to shift the dot clock phase to

 

match the phase of incoming video signal. An incorrect sync

 

setting causes “sparkles” and horizontal streaks randomly

 

across the screen.

Adjusting

The Dot Clock control adjusts the projector dot-clock

the dot clock

frequency to match the incoming video signal frequency.

 

An incorrect dot clock adjustment causes faint, uniformly-

 

spaced vertical lines of video distortion/shading.

 

Adjust the Dot Clock control slowly in the direction that

 

causes the lines/bands of shading to get wider and fewer in

 

number. There are no bands of distortion/shading when

 

correctly adjusted.

Adjusting the

The Hor. Pos. (horizontal position) control adjusts the

horizontal position

amount of blanking before each horizontal line. Incorrect

 

horizontal position adjustment can cause either side of

 

the projected image to extend beyond the viewing area,

 

end-of- line wrap around, or a half-normal display size.

Adjusting the

The Vert. Pos. (vertical position) control adjusts the amount

vertical position

of blanking before each video frame. Incorrect vertical posi-

 

tion 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).
