8.1  Using the Quick-Set Buttons 
The following sub-sections describe the VP-501xl and VP-502xl quick set 
buttons. 
8.1.1  Using the AUTO IMAGE Button 
The VP-501xl/VP-502xl assesses the image and improves the quality, by 
automatically adjusting the phase, frequency and position, when the AUTO 
IMAGE button is pressed. 
For example, if your computer application switches resolutions (and frequency), 
press the AUTO IMAGE button to automatically improve the picture quality. 
8.1.2  Using the FREEZE Button 
Press the FREEZE button to freeze the picture on the screen. The frozen picture 
is displayed regardless of the signal on the input to the unit. This allows you, for 
example, to change the programs on the PC, and set up the next image.  
By pressing the FREEZE button again, the frozen image will be replaced by 
the most current image on the input to the unit. 
8.1.3  Using the OS/US Button 
Press the OS/US button to toggle between over-scan and under-scan: 
•  Over-scan omits the border. The displayed image, when set 
correctly, is larger than the screen

•   Under-scan (sometimes know as the Compress mode) leaves a 
border around the image
