3.5 Making the Picture Fit the Screen

3.5.2 Adjusting the LCD Position
If the LCD is not properly aligned to the screen, a sharp, black edge may show on one or more
sides. These adjustments were correct when the Panther left the factory, but vibration during shipping
may cause an unwanted change.
Adjusting the LCD is a two-part process:
• moving the LCD to make it align with the screen
squarely, and
• adjusting the size of the image so it fills the
screen.
LCD Alignment
1. Press
MENU
on the remote.
2. Highlight LCD
Alignment and
press
ENTER
.
You may choose either
Alignment Dashes or
Geometry Pattern and
press
ENTER
.
• Alignment Dashes has
groups of six dashes around
the edges representing the
outside six pixels.This pat-
tern makes it easy to count
hidden pixels.
• Geometry Pattern shows a
4×4 grid. The outside
frame is 3 pixels wide. This
pattern is useful for rotat-
ing and shifting the LCD.
The patterns are drawn
slowly, and during this time the remote won’t do any-
thing. When the pattern is complete, a red dot
appears next to the pattern name.
LCD position
Highlight Left or Right edge or Horizontal and use
the left-right buttons to change the position. The but-
tons drive motors that turn completely, so the left or
right button may move the pattern in either direc-
tion. Press and hold for continuous motion.
Adjust the pattern to hide about 3 pixels at each
edge.
Size
Size in adjusted by rotating the objective lens. The
objective lens is the lens that points up at the mirror.
You can see this lens from the rear of the display.
• Turn the lens in (clockwise) to make the image
larger so it fills more of the screen.
• Turn the lens out (anti-clockwise) so it does not
spill past the edges of the screen too far.
! Turning the lens adjusts LCD image size, not focus.
There is no focus control in the Panther.
Difference between LCD alignment and the
Pan/Zoom controls
If the LCD is not properly aligned, no amount of
Pan and Zoom can fix it.
• The LCD Alignment menu physically moves the
LCD into proper position so the LCD’s image is
squarely on the screen.
• Rotating the objective lens assures that all the
LCD’s image (all the pixels except those on the
very edges) fill the screen.
• The Pan controls move the electronic picture
around on the LCD.
• The Zoom controls expand (or contract) the elec-
tronic picture so that less of it (or more of it) is on
the LCD.
