There is something weird about the Intimidator 110 scanner that I can't figure out, and I am unsure if I am doing something wrong, or if it's actually junk. I know this isn't high end gear, but it's for yucks at home... if I can solve this problem, it will meet my needs fine.
Basically, the mirror tilts down way too far. When it's in auto mode, it spends about a third of the time with all or most of the light hitting the case, like this:

Well OK, it has a motion "fine tuning" feature, right? So I punch in numbers to try and reign in the tilt... and nothing happens.
The fine tuning values are definitely saved, I can navigate back to the fine tuning menu and see them. But when it is in Show mode (Auto or Sound) the fine tuning values don't seem to change anything. I've set both Pan and Tilt fine tuning to extreme values and I cannot see any change in the automatic Show mode behavior.
I'm not using a DMX controller right now, I need to use the auto function for a while. I am suspicious that auto mode won't respect the fine tuning settings.
If I can't resolve this it's going to get returned, since the frequent break in the lighting when it looks too far down is really obnoxious.
If you've dealt with this I would sure appreciate a lead! Thanks in advance.
