Adjusting POS. /SIZE
Notes:
•  If the dot clock frequency is 162 MHz or higher, DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE cannot be made.
•  When digital RGB signal input, DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE cannot be made.
•  AUTO SETUP may not work when a cropped or dark image is input. In such case, switch to a bright image 
with borders and other objects are clearly shown, and then try auto setup again.
•  Depending on the signal, out of alignment may occur after AUTO SETUP. Carry out  ne tuning for the 
position/size as required.
• If AUTO SETUP cannot set properly for vertical frequency 60Hz XGA signal (1024×768@60Hz, 
1280×768@60Hz, and 1366×768@60Hz), pre-selecting the individual signal in “XGA MODE” (see page 
51) may results in correct AUTO SETUP.
•  AUTO SETUP does not work well when a signal such as additional information is superimposed out of 
valid image period or intervals between synchronizing and image signals are short, or for image signal with 
tri-level synchronizing signal added.
•  If AUTO SETUP cannot adjust correctly, select “NORMALIZE” once and press ACTION (
) then adjust 
POS. /SIZE manually.
