Use the controls in the Setup menu to perform advanced image quality 

adjustments and access various other PD520 features.

OSD Language: Select OSD Language from the Setup menu and press ENTER. 

Then, use the up- or down-arrow buttons to select the OSD language (English, 

French, Spanish, Portuguese or German). Press ENTER again to confirm your 

selection. 

PC Mode Adjust: To improve the quality of displayed images from a computer 

or other VESA-compliant, RGB (480p or higher) source, select PC Mode Adjust 

and press ENTER. 
• Auto  Adjust:  Auto Adjust automatically adjusts settings to optimize computer 

images. To execute Auto Adjust on command, select Auto Adjust and press 

ENTER.  

• Clock: Use the up- or down-arrow buttons (  ,   ) to highlight Clock. Then, 

use the right-arrow button (   ) to increase the pixel clock rate; use the 

left-arrow button (   ) to decrease it. 

• Phase: Adjust the phase if the image shows shimmer or “horizontal noise.” 

Pixel phase adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the 

incoming signal. The effect of this control is similar to that of a tracking control 

on a VCR. 

For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a 

clear pattern of black and white pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic 

image. (You may notice that you can stabilize the image at more than one 

point. Use either setting in this case.)

• H Position: Use the up- or down-arrow buttons (  ,   ) to highlight H Position. 

Then, use the right-arrow button (   ) to shift the image to the right; use the 

left-arrow button (   ) to shift the image to the left. 

• V  Position:  Use the up- or down-arrow buttons (  ,   ) to highlight V Position. 

Then, use the right-arrow button (   ) to shift the image up; use the left-arrow 

button (   ) to shift the image down.

To restore the factory-default Clock, Phase and Position settings, select Factory 

Reset and press ENTER. 

Caption: Select Caption from the Setup menu to control the display of closed 

captions when watching programs that contain them. 
• Display: Select On or Off to control the display of closed captions. 
• Mode: Select one of four captioning modes: CC1, CC2, CC3 or CC4. CC1 

usually contains the native-language captions; if a program is captioned in 

more than one language, those captions are carried on CC2, CC3 or CC4. 

The PD520 also supports “text mode” captioning; to use this feature, select 

Text1, Text2, Text3 or Text4. The text modes, instead of displaying a few lines of 

captions somewhere on the picture, take over all or half of the screen to 

display scrolling text information. (The text modes are seldom used today, so 

most of the time there is no information there to see.) The text field is 

sometimes used for embedding Internet data (called Interactive TV Links, or 

ITV Links) in the captions.
