Once the monitor has chosen the appropriate video mode to use,

you may need to adjust or “fine-tune” the screen image using the

SELECT and UP and DOWN digital buttons. These buttons control

the distortion, width, height, and horizontal and vertical positions

of the image on the screen. Every time you adjust one of these

screen parameters, the monitor redefines the video mode to reflect

your new settings. In this way, you continually customize the

monitor’s video modes to suit your screen images.

Although the monitor allows you to modify the screen parameter

settings of any video mode, the microprocessor sets aside three of

the predefined modes-called factory recall modes-in permanent

memory as well, in case you ever need to recall them. If the
monitor is using a factory recall video mode, and you find you
have over-adjusted the screen parameters, you can recall the
original factory settings and retry the adjustment. You won’t be

able to tell if your monitor is using a factory recall mode until you

try to recall the original settings, how ever.

To try the RECALL feature, first turn off the monitor (keep the
computer on), then turn it on again. Next, press the RECALL

buttons (UP and DOWN buttons). If your monitor is using a factory

recall mode, your screen restores the appropriate original factory
recall settings. If not, your screen won’t change. You have to keep
readjusting your parameter settings until they meet your
requirements.

For more detailed instructions on how to save and adjust certain

screen parameter settings, see the “Adjusting Monitor Controls”
section on page 11, or the “Adjusting the Screen Image” section

below.

You probably will never need more than 12 video modes. Should
the monitor find it necessary to create a new (user-defined) video

mode when all of its 12 memory locations are full, it replaces the
oldest video mode that isn’t one of the three factory recall video

modes.
