To reduce blurring and noise
If you adjust the [Pixel Phase] after adjusting [Pixel Tracking], it is easier to find the optimum point at which there is minimum

When adjusting [Pixel Tracking], the point at which the vertical belt of noise disappears when you display the [Quit Windows]
screen from the Windows 95/98 Start Menu or the checkered pattern, is the optimum adjustment value.
When adjusting the [Pixel Phase], the point at which the horizontal blurring or noise disappears when you display the [Quit
Windows] screen from the Windows 95/98 Start Menu or the checkered pattern, is the optimum adjustment value.
When automatically adjusting the position
• The horizontal position, vertical position, picture width and picture blurring are adjusted automatically.
• This adjustment will be executed when the following operations are performed.
1) when the power is turned on and the lamp lights
2) when the type of input source signal is changed while the lamp is on
3) when the input selector button is pressed while the lamp is on.
4) when the AUTO button is pressed while the lamp is on.
• The [Auto Setting] message is displayed on the screen during automatic adjustment.
• The picture may appear distorted during automatic adjustment, but this is not a malfunction.
• Correct adjustment may fail to be performed due to the input signal and input image from the PC. In this case, adjust manually.
• Adjust the position automatically when you have a bright projected image.
Adjustment is only possible when the input source is set on INPUT 1, 2 or 3. It cannot be performed when there is no signal.
