Interlaced Setting

With this setting you can adjust various picture parame- ters for interlaced scanning. There are three setup mem- ories (1, 2, 3) for storing your favorite settings. You could, for example, use one for daytime viewing (e.g., sun shining through window) and one for nighttime viewing (e.g., curtains drawn, lights down).
