Title: 48-in-1 help - Picture Width (Height)
Post by: mike boss on November 14, 2010, 03:21:08 pm

Just completing my 48 in 1 bartop projects.
Cabinet number one is done and looking and sounding good.
Having a few issues with the 48-in-1.
It's not saving my settings with respects to lowering the volume ?
Is there some sorta trick ?

Also I'm using a 15" LCD which looks awesome.
I turned the monitor on it's side to accommodate the horizontal orientation.
The picture is too wide (tall). The monitor itself lets me move the position, but not reduce it.
Can I do anything on the board itself to reduce the height (width) ?

SOLVED (I THINK) - i think the saving of settings is done via the P1 START button.
So I'll need to try that.
Any help with the picture issue would be great.
Thank you

On the 60 in 1 the test switch allows you to access a screen setup screen with squares shown.  I have not needed to change anything so I did not try to change my display with it but it is there if you hold the test button on startup.

It's an LCD PC monitor.
I have seen the screen with the colored grid pattern.
I'm able to resize that ? Do you know how I would do that ?
For me I have no test button, but dip switch 4 boots up into the set up menu.
That is the 1st screen I get.

Here are some images. I wish I had more, but right now when I powered on the machine the thing died.
The fan still gets power, but I think the power supply might be shot as the board worked when tested in another machine.
None the less the images.

Thanks all

You can see the word CREDIT on the bottom is cut off, as is the word SYSTEM on start up. (Well partially anyway)

I gave it a try on my system and it just allows you to use it as a reference to setup your LCD.   Since you are missing it on the LHS with the monitor rotated you should be adjusting the vertical postion and/or vertical size.   On my monitor there is also an auto setup when you are displaying a screen that will center it and size it.
