MANUAL PC ADJUSTMENT
This projector can automatically tune to display signals from most personal computers currently distributed.  However, some
computers employ special signal formats which are different from standard ones and may not be tuned by Multi-Scan system
of this projector.  If this happens, projector cannot reproduce a proper image and image may be recognized as a flickering
picture, a non-synchronized picture, a non-centered picture or a skewed picture.
This projector has a Manual PC Adjustment to enable you to precisely adjust several parameters to match with those special
signal formats.  This projector has 5 independent memory areas to memorize those parameters manually adjusted.  This
enables you to recall setting for a specific computer whenever you use it. 
Note : This PC ADJUST Menu cannot be operated when in digital signal input on DVI terminal and “RGB” is selected on PC
