PC ADJUSTMENT
This Projector can automatically tune to the display signals from most personal computers currently distributed.
However, some computers employ the special signal formats which are different from the standard ones and
may not be tuned by Multiscanning of this projector.  If this happens, the projector cannot reproduce a proper
image and the image is recognized as a flickering picture, a non-synchronized picture, a non-centered picture or
a skewed picture.
This projector has PC ADJUSTMENT function, to enable you to precisely adjust several parameters to match
with those exceptional signal formats and the projector has five independent memory areas to memorize those
parameters manually adjusted.  This enables you to recall the setting for a specific computer whenever you use
it. 
Press the MENU button and the ON-SCREEN MENU will
appear.  Press the POINT RIGHT/LEFT buttons to select PC
ADJUST  and press the SELECT button.  Another dialog
box “Where to reserve” Menu will appear. 
In this dialog box, you can store the parameter into the area
from “Mode 1” to “Mode 5.”  When memorizing the new
computer parameter, select the Mode with the message of
“Free” by pressing the POINT UP/DOWN buttons and the
