BRIGHTNESS AND FOCUS TRIM PODS 
If your picture is too dark or if you see a “ghosting” effect on your display, then the trim pods will help 
correct this problem. If your picture is too dark then the brightness trim pod will help brighten up your 
display. If your picture has a “ghosting” effect and/or noise, then the focus trim pod will help sharpen 
up your picture. Turn trim pods to the left and right to eliminate any noise on your picture.
