I wouldn't be so sure. I would think the multiplier focus should have an optimum value, and get worse on either side. The description says the spot goes "out of focus" (blends across the image) at one end of the adjustment - it seems to me this is the desired condition and should happen near the center of the control range (unless, of course, the picture is degraded).

Question: when showing a picture, does the picture itself (not the spot) get better or worse (dimmer or less contrast) when the spot is prominent or when it's spread out, or does it stay the same?
