Using the TV’s Menu System

Mirror Adjustment Over time the small mirror inside the TV may shift slightly. You’ll notice the edges of the picture aren’t symmetrical or parallel, or one of the top corners is too far in or out. Try adjusting the edges by using Trapezoid- Left and Right. If this doesn’t help, use the screws behind the front panel piece to adjust the corner edges while watching the test pattern on screen. Use a 4 mm. Allen wrench or Philips screwdriver to adjust the screws. Go to page 10 for information on removing the front panel piece and location of the mirror adjustment screws.

Press OK to select Mirror Adjustment and select Yes to continue. Selecting Yes resets

Trapezoid- Left and Right adjustments you’ve made.

With the test pattern on screen, look at the top corners of the test pattern. Adjust the corner that is farthest in towards the center of the TV so the top horizontal line is parallel with the top edge of the TV. For example, if the left corner is farthest in towards the center, turn the left screw counterclockwise. If you feel a resistance as you turn the screw, stop turning it.

Tightening the screw more could damage it (try turning the opposite screw clockwise). Now see if the left and right lines are parallel. If they aren’t, use the middle screw to adjust them until they’re parallel with the edges of the TV. If necessary, use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to vertically center the test pattern. To exit the test pattern, press OK, then use the Trapezoid- Left and Right option to fine tune the picture, if necessary.
