* Depending on the resolution of your computer, text may be difficult to read. In this case, lower the resolution.
Automatically detecting the input resolution (Auto Detect)
With the factory settings, the Auto Detect function, which automatically detects the input resolution, is turned "On."
Normally, you can leave Auto Detect turned "On."
If, as shown in figure 1, the background color of the computer screen is black and an image
is being displayed in a portion of the screen, the resolution may not be detected correctly.
In this case, take the following steps.
Set a window, etc. on the computer to full screen mode (figure 2).
After a brief interval, the input resolution will be automatically detected, and the output
image will be resized.
In the "PC Input Setup" menu, turn the "Auto Detect" setting "Off."
Automatic detection of the input resolution will be turned off.
Display the original image (figure 1).
Skewed or Flickering Images (Tearing)
When moving images from a PC input are displayed, skewed or flickering images may occur. This is called "tearing," and
is caused by discrepancies in the timing at which the images are rendered, so that a portion of the previous frame is shown
simultaneously with the next frame.
The illustration below is a conceptual example of tearing.

* If the "STILL" or "STROBE" effects are used on moving images input from a PC, a state in which tearing has occurred
may be frozen.
