source detected by the projector.
If the Model DP2800 detects an NTSC source, it automatically
defaults to it. The projector cannot tell the difference between
PAL or SECAM. ''XTien P,AL or SECAM is used, the Desktop
Projector defaults to PAL. The SOURCE setting allows you to
select SECAM as the video source input.
The Desktop Projector selects the best possible value based on the

colors, image is off screen, image won’t sync properly), use the Up
