Notes

We recommend input source video equipment equipped with a TBC (time base corrector). If the display receives a signal without TBC, the picture may disappear due to disturbance of the sync signal.

If signals of the same format are input from multiple systems, the Picture Quality setting will default to the most recently set value (Only when the signal formats are identical).

Even if the selected input can handle different formats, only one format will be displayed when the Input Setting is “Fix”.
