hi Damon the red line is same thickness at all points It has a button labled digital array. I was under the impression that there is a nine point digital array adjustment What i need to know is there a nine point digital array adjust on this chassis or not DP15E I just finished reading kevin's post and his had this feature does anyone have # to call Hitachi Tech Assist tib -- Tiberio Moreira 412 Lancaster st Leominster Ma. 01453 Master Liscence # 9176 tibstv@xxxxxxxxxxx -------------- Original message -------------- > Ok....backup....screw the DCU Crosshatch phase thing for now....Is the red > lines on the left and the right the same thickness, or are they > thick.....thickity thick on one side and not the other?
