OSD Agent Description
Edge Adjustment
Adjusts Picture Size and Position Controls. The four “Edge”
controls shift each edge within available limits. Note that the
maximum available shift depends on the incoming video standard
and the display panel type, and may be restricted vertically. This
provides very flexible and easy to use image size an position
control.
Moire N/A
Clock
Sets the total number of input pixels per line to correspond with the
input source, and will normally require adjustment for unusual
signals.
Phase
Adjusts the internal clock to sample each pixel as near as possible
to the centre. Phase will normally require adjustment for unusual
types of signal.

adjusted for the desired color balance and to minimize noise on low
intensity colors and greys. Color tints can be added as required.
3.3 Adjustment Procedure Cont.

VT201CHC User Guide 150-060
3.3 Adjustment Procedure Cont.
The System Menu: Contains functions which are more applicable to system operation
than to picture adjustment.
OSD Agent Description
Esc Returns to the last saved setup. It is useful if an adjustment has
been made in error.
Save
Saves all the user adjustments for the displayed signal type. The
new adjustments are stored in non-volatile memory and so are still
valid from a power down—power up cycle.
Reset
1) Restores the user adjustable parameters for the signal currently
being display back to the factory defaults.
2) Press the menu and brightness plus buttons simultaneously to
restore to factory default state all the user adjustments for the
signal currently being displayed. This is useful if a picture set-
up has become lost or confused. The Reset option can also be
accessed even if the OSD has been lost.
OSD Timeout
Controls the time after which the OSD display is cancelled. It can
be adjusted in 15-sec increments from 1 (=8 sec) to 4 (=90 sec)
approximately.
OSD X and OSD Y N/A
Auto Centering
Yes/No. If an input signal changes, it is first measured and
compared with stored selections. If its parameters are already
stored, they are installed. If they are stored, the “Auto Centering”
selection is checked and if set to “No” the best fit is displayed. The
user can then center the picture using OSD auto setup. If Auto
Centering is set to “Yes”, centering is performed automatically,
which may take more than 15 seconds. This could cause a prob-
lem if using Windows, wherein a resolution change is displayed
only for 15 seconds and reverts to its previous selection if no
acknowledgement is entered. For this reason, the default state is
“No”. NOTE this control only configures Analog Graphics inputs.
OSD Agent Description
The Miscellaneous Menu

Text Enhance /
Normal
Improves the appearance of fine text from a computer generated
analog input signal. Please note this function will only be effective if
the signal resolution is close to the resolution of the panel, no harm
will be done to the unit by trying the enhanced and normal text
options for other input resolutions.

Troubleshooting Tips

VT201CHC User Guide 150-060
CLEANING AND MAINTANENCE
CLEANING AND MAINTANENCE
Cleaning
Occasionally clean the display panel and cabinet with a soft cloth dampened (not soaked) with a
mild (non-abrasive) glass cleaner. Keep turning a fresh side of the cloth toward the screen surface to
avoid scratching it with accumulated grit.
Do not use paper products as they may scratch the surface. To minimize the risk of abrasion, allow
the screen to stand dry.
Special care should be taken when cleaning a touch screen or polycarbonate shield that is installed
over the screen. Abrasive and certain chemical cleaners can easily damage the surface.
Never use alcoholic or ammoniac cleaners to clean the polycarbonate shield or a touch screen.
Other Maintenance
Qualified service personnel should perform all maintenance, except for the power cord replacement
described above.
Note:
The solvent should be applied only to the cloth, and not directly on the monitor screen.
Note:
For best results cleaning a monitor with the optional antireflective tempered glass display shield, a
solution of denatured alcohol is recommended to thoroughly clean the display.
