This	projector	automatically	tunes	to	various	types	of	computers	based	on	VGA,	SVGA,	XGA,	SXGA,	WXGA,	
or	UXGA	with	its	Multi-scan	system	and	 Auto	PC	Adjustment.	If	a	computer	is	selected	as	a	signal	source,	this	
projector	automatically	detects	the	signal	format	and	tunes	to	project	a	proper	image	without	any	additional	
settings.	(Signal	formats	provided	in	this	projector	are	shown	on	pages	73-74)
One	of	the	following	messages	may	appear	when:
The 	projector 	cannot 	recognize 	the 	connected	
signal	 conforming	 to	the	 provided	 PC	Systems.	
Auto 	is 	displayed 	on 	the 	System 	Menu 	box

Manual PC Adjustment
Some	computers 	employ 	special 	signal 	formats 	which 	may 	not 	be 	tuned 	by 	Multi-scan 	system 	of 	this 	projector.

projector	 has	five	independent	 memory	areas	to	store	 those	 parameters	 manually	adjusted.	 It	allows	 you	to	recall	
the	setting	for	a	specific	computer.
