Manual PC Adjustment
Some	computers	 employ	special	signal	formats	 which	may	not	be	tuned	 by	Multi-scan	 system	of	this	 projector.		
Manual	 PC	Adjustment	 enables	you	to	precisely	 adjust	several	 parameters	 to	match	 those	signal	 formats.	 The	
projector 	has 	five 	independent 	memory 	areas 	to 	store 	those 	parameters 	manually 	adjusted. 	It 	allows 	you 	to	
recall	the	setting	for	a	specific	computer.
