3. Front Panel Function Control Description Use the buttons on the front control panel to display and adjust the OSD controls which display on the screen. The OSD controls are explained at the top of the next page and are defined in “Main Menu Controls”.
Page 9
Do the following to adjust the display setting: 1. To display the Main Menu, press button [1]. NOTE: All OSD menus and adjustment screens disappear automatically after about 15 seconds. This is adjustable through the OSD timeout setting in the setup menu. 2.
Main Menu Controls Adjust the menu items shown below by using the up and down buttons. Control Explanation Auto Image Adjust automatically sizes, centers, and fine tunes the video signal to eliminate waviness and distortion. Press the [2] button to obtain a sharper image. NOTE: Auto Image Adjust works with most common video cards.

U701 AP1117D33L and U704 AP1117E18LA: DC power convert, convert to 3.3v and 1.8v. AP1117 is a low dropout positive adjustable or fixed-mode regulator with 1A output current capability. The product is specifically designed to provide well-regulated supply for low voltage IC applications such as high-speed bus termination and low current 3.3V logic supply.
Page 19
Pin Descriptions Name Pin # Function A resistor divider from this pin to the Vout pin and ground sets the output voltage. Adj (GND) (Ground only for Fixed-Mode) The output of the regulator. A minimum of 10uF capacitor (0.15Ω ≤ESR ≤20Ω) Vout must be connected from this pin to ground to insure stability.
4.2 Power Board IC901 LD7576 The LD7576X series bring high performance, combines with highly integrated functions, protections and EMI-improve solution. It’s an ideal solution for those cost-sensitive system, reducing component count and overall system cost. The LD7576X series features near-lossless high voltage startup circuit, green-mode power-saving operation, leading-edge blanking of the current sensing and internal slope compensation.

Block Diagram Name Function This pin is to program the frequency of the low frequency timer. By connecting a capacitor to ground to set the OLP delay time. And this pin can be used for latch mode protection. By pulling this pin lower than 0.8 V, the controller will be entered latch mode until the AC power-on recycling.

IC801 TA9687GN 9687 is a high performance, cost-effective CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) controller designed for driving large-size Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) applications requiring 2 to 6 CCFLs. The controller converts unregulated DC voltages into a nearly sinusoidal lamp voltage and current waveforms. 9687 supports full-bridge power conversion topologies while maintaining high-efficiency operation.
