(On Screen Display) Menu disappear.

Notes:
- In most cases automatic adjustment is sufficient.

such a case, try repeating the automatic
adjustment 2 or 3 times.

- If necessary due to any of the following, manual

adjustments (p.22) can be performed after the
automatic adjustment.
- When further fine adjustment is needed.
- When [OUT OF ADJUST] is displayed. (When

the screen displays an entirely dark image, the
automatic screen adjustment may be disabled.
When making an automatic adjustment, be
sure to either use the Adjustment Pattern or try
displaying an image that makes the entire
screen very bright.)

- When the computer's video input signals are

Composite Sync or Sync on Green. (Automatic
adjustments may not be possible.)

- Automatic adjustment may not be achieved

correctly depending on what is displayed on the
screen - moving pictures or the MS-DOS prompt
etc.

Options in the ADJUSTMENT Menu can be
adjusted automatically (CLOCK, PHASE, H-POS,
V-POS).

Notes:
- When setting up this monitor for the first time or

after having changed an aspect of the current
system, perform an automatic screen adjustment
before use.

- Automatic screen adjustment is unnecessary

when the LL-172G is used with a digital
connection. Perform manual screen adjustment
when necessary. (p.22)

First display an image that makes the entire
screen light.
If you are using Windows, you can use the
Adjustment Pattern on the accompanying CD-
ROM.

Opening the Adjustment Pattern (for Windows)
This explanation is for Windows 95/98/2000/Me/
XP, and assumes that the CD-ROM drive is "D"
drive.
1. Load the accessory CD-ROM into the CD-ROM

drive of the computer.

2. Open [My Computer] and select CD-ROM. If

using Windows 3.1, open [File Manager] and
choose "D" drive.

3. Double click on [Adj_uty.exe] to run the

Adjustment Program. The Adjustment Pattern will
appear.

After completing the adjustments, press the
computer's [Esc] key to exit the Adjustment
Program.

Note:
- If your computer's display mode is set to 65K

colors, you may see the different color levels in
each color pattern or the gray scale may look
colored. (This is due to the specification of the
input signal and is not a malfunction.)
