Notes
• This function is intended for use with a computer running
Windows or similar graphic user interface software that
provides a full-screen picture.  It may not work properly if the
background color is dark or if the input picture does not fill the
screen to the edges (such as an MS-DOS prompt).
• The screen may go blank for a few seconds while performing the
auto-sizing function. This is not a malfunction.
• Although the signals for picture aspect ratio 5:4 (resolution: 1280
×
 1024) do not fill the screen to the edges, the picture is
accurately displayed.
