F12

F11

F10

The frequency setting is possible when the two keys, F and F1 are pressed at the same time. Select the frequency by cursor key [3, 4] and press the BS and ENT keys at the same time, then the frequency is secured. In 59 Hz mode, the selection window will be further displayed (1080i/525i/720p). Select the format by the cursor key, and press the BS and ENT keys at the same time to secure the format. When the 1080i or 720p format has been selected, select its 4-channel or 8-channel audio version, and enter the format by pressing the BS and ENT keys at the same time.

In the 23.98 Hz, 24 Hz or 25 Hz mode, a window appears offering the user the option of selecting PsF or P for the VIDEO signal interface format. When the format is selected using the cursor keys [3, 4] and the BS key and ENT key are then pressed together, the format is en- tered. In the same way, the HD MAIN output and HD MONI output formats are selected using the cursor keys [3, 4] and then entered by pressing the BS key and ENT key together.

(The table below lists the possible combinations of the output signals of the video output connectors. These combinations are available only when the AJ-UDC3700P option has been installed.)
