image.
●Clock—Increases/decreases the value to minimize any vertical bars or stripes visible on the
screen background.
●Clock Phase—Increases/decreases the value to minimize video distortion or video jitter.
NOTE:When using the controls, you will obtain the best results by using the auto-adjustment

When adjusting the Clock and Clock Phase values, if the monitor images become distorted, continue
adjusting the values until the distortion disappears. To restore the factory settings, select Yes from
the Factory Reset menu in the on-screen display.
