When adjusted in the (1) 50Hz 4: 3 mode, the mode (2) will be linked to the mode (1) and will be
automatically adjusted for the same value.
When adjusted in the mode (2) only this mode will be adjusted singly.The setting (adjustment) using
the REMOTE CONTROL UNIT is made on the basis of the initial setting values.
The setting values which adjust the screen to the optimum condition can be different from the initial set
