NTI XTENDEX Extenders A momentary press of either the “+” (plus) or “-“ (minus) buttons button will make a minor change in the image. If either button is pressed and held, the changes made will be gradual and continuous. Ultimately, the image quality should improve to a satisfactory level. Once the adjustment is made, it should not be necessary to change it again, as the new settings are stored in memory and become the default settings with each startup. If the image still lacks
