Adjusting Frequency and Phase
m52L Installation Guide 39
Adjusting Frequency and Phase
Frequency and Phase are mostly adjusted for computer sources and must be made
using the computer that has, or will have, program content. Although Frequency and
Phase can also be adjusted for component sources, it is not usually necessary.
If you press the
SETUP
button on the remote, the automatic adjustment of Frequency
and Phase is usually good enough. (See "Auto Setup Options" on page 67) If
automatic adjustment is not good enough, adjust it manually. If the image shows
vertical banding, adjust the Frequency. (See "Adjusting Frequency Manually" on
page 40) If the image has noticeable horizontal streaks moving through the image,
adjust the Phase. (See "Adjusting Phase Manually" on page 40)
Note: Auto Setup Options rely on the content displayed on the screen. You will get best
results with something that has a lot of changes, such as a checkerboard pattern.
Making a Checkerboard Pattern With Paint
You will need to display a checkerboard pattern from the source computer. You can
make one with the Windows Paint program.
Note: The location of Paint with vary depending on what version of Windows you have on
your desktop. Typically it can be found in the Accessories folder.
