Contrast
and
Brightness
can be
adjusted in single step increments
from 0 to 100, with the default setting
equal to 50.
Gamma Correct
adjusts the
whiteness of the display and the overall
cast of the color. The default setting
is 0, and it can be adjusted from 0 to
3.
The
Color Adjust
menu permits you
to individually adjust the Red, Green
and Blue components of the displayed
image. Values range from 0 to 100,
with the default setting equal to 50.
This menu is not implemented in
this version of the monitor.
This monitor has many built-in
functions which automatically format
and adjust the program to suit the
playback environment.
It is recommended that you select the
AUTO ADJUST function and set it to
YES. This will enable the monitor
system to automatically adjust all the
other functions in the menu to the
most optimal settings.
If you find that the AUTO ADJUST
setting affects the image in a negative
way (for example, you wish to adjust
the color manually), you can set AUTO
ADJUST to the NO setting, and set
the others to YES or NO as desired.
Auto Position
adjusts the display area
to a position and size which best fills
the display area.
Auto Phase
adjusts the ADC sampling
clock phase, relative to the source
video H-sync signal. This has the effect
of minimizing video distortion and jitter.
Auto Clock
adjusts the number of
pixels from the source video. The
number of horizontal pixels displayed
is matched to the number of horizontal
source pixels. This minimizing vertical
bars, stripes or similar artifacts on the
display background.
Auto Color
adjusts and balances the
RGB colors.
In the
Language
menu, you can select
the language you want to use in the
On-Screen display system. Use the <
and > buttons to step through the
following languages: English (the
default language), German, French,
Italian, Spanish, Chinese Traditional,
Chinese Simple, and Japanese.
OSD H Position
and
OSD V Position
settings permit adjustment of the
horizontal and vertical position of the
On-Screen Display. Use the < and >
buttons to make these adjustments.
OSD Timer
settings determine how
long the On-Screen Display remains
on the screen when not in use. The
default setting (YES) turns the OSD
image off after 20 seconds. If NO is
selected, the OSD will remain visible
until you manually exit the menu
system.
The
Translucent
menu gives you a
choice of making the menu appear to
overlay the image behind it in a semi-
transparent manner, or to be opaque
(solid). Selecting YES as the setting
for this function makes the menu
system translucent (this is the default
setting for the monitor)
The
Signal Source
setting in this menu
is fixed, since the monitor only permits
one A/V input source.
Two modes are available in the
Mode
Select
, with the default pixel setting
equal to 720x 400.
Reset
cancels all the custom settings
you have entered via the OSD menu
systems and returns them to the
factory default settings.
Volume
is not implemented on this
monitor system.
