This Acrobat (IE: a PDF file) version of the Pioneer RM-V1000NU manual was made from the
original digital document and scanning an existing manual. Because of this, there are many less
then perfect pages and hand written comments.
As Pioneer is constantly working towards providing the best possible documentation for our
products, there may be an improved version of this document available. Please contact your

CHAPTER 1. FEATURES OF RM-V1000NU
1. FEATURES OF SYSTEM
¶ Large screen with little reflection.
The new tinted screen improves the screen contrast and vertical angle of view. Since reflection of external
light has also been reduced, viewers feel no visual discomfort even in brightly lit event halls and showrooms.
¶ Use in bright places
Realizing a high-luminance of 420ft-L for the screen brightness, it can be used adequately in lobbies and open
spaces with external light.
¶ Ultra-thin mullion (approx. 4mm) when combined.
Joint width of about 4 mm even when joined. Thinner and more easy-to-view than before, the problem of
missing images and characters has been resolved to a large extent.
¶ Improvement of adjusting method
• The convergence adjusting system has been changed form analog to digital. By adopting the 25-point ad-
justing method (point convergence), adjustment is now even more easy and precise.
• By adding the linear white circuit, the white balance can be adjusted more precisely.
¶ Equipped with function to set high picture quality of magnified images and maximum sense of oneness of the
screens.
• Although peripheral light is given adequate luminance to construct the multi-screen, the multi switch is
loaded to realize a huge screen with more consistent brightness by the peripheral light compensation cir-
cuit. It is also equipped with a function which performs contour correction during enlargement of images to
provide natural and high quality enlarged images.
• The incorporated auto white balance function and ABL (auto brightness limiter) link function control incon-
sistencies of color and brightness between the screens.
¶ Wired remote control (RU-V107/Optional) for adjustments.
When setting the multi image system, adjustments of convergence, white balance, etc. can be performed
using the wired remote control unit while watching the images on the screen.
¶ Space-saving slim design with depth of 93 cm.
¶ Built-in 1-input 4-screen magnification multi video processor.
Built-in multi video processor allows 100-inch magnification screen with one system.
Optional 24 to 35 kHz variable scan board RMD-V3020 can be mounted.
¶ Split-up design enables the unit to be carried and assembled easily.
3-part separate structure composed of unit R, unit L, and screen allows the unit to be carried easily.
¶ Reasonable price while providing outstanding features

FEATURES OF PROJECTION CUBE SYSTEM
¶ Convergence memory
Apart from the standard values set at shipment, up to 3 kinds of data can be memorized for the adjusting
value.
¶ Convenient “color mode selection switch” for camera-reexposure.
A convenient “color mode selection switch” which can set two types of white balance data is provided. For
example, when using the system as a monitor for reexposing in broadcast station studios, etc., images ex-
posed using the camera according to the lighting of the studio will come out with unnatural colors. By setting
the temperature of one color to 4500°K, natural color reproductions can be realized by one-touch operation.
¶ On-screen function
In addition to adjusting values, various data to set up conditions, can be displayed on the screen.
¶ External control function
Equipped with RS-232C external control terminal. Adjustments can be carried out using a personal computer.
Various image display function is available. Transmission of control signals to each multi projection unit can
be carried out by a daisy chain connected by a control cable (DIN6pin/accessory) for linking the combination
terminal. No need for complicated connections. By providing IDs to each multi projection unit, each multi
projection unit can be adjusted individually even after the system has been started up.
¶ Each multi projection unit displays clear and high picture quality images for both NTSC and PAL inputs.
Note:
The built-in multi video processor can be used only for NTSC inputs. It can be made usable for PAL inputs if
options are added. For more information, contact Pioneer.

CHAPTER 3. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALLATION CONDITIONS
(1) Weight-tolerant
The ground must be flat and horizontal. It should be able to bear the weight of the system.
For wooden floors, if the part receiving the weight of the system lies at the center between the reinforcement
beams below the floor, the floor may become deformed or may curve inwards. In such cases, lay a more than 12
mm thick board below the system to distribute the weight of the system on the floor.
For concrete floors, it may not be possible to install the system horizontally due to the roughness of the floor. In
such cases, do the same as above.
After installation, adjust and secure with the floor leveler.
Floor leveler
(2) Height to ceiling
¶ Leave about 30 cm between the top of the system and ceiling. Take note that if there are air-conditioner vents
or lights at the top, problems caused by dusts, temperature, humidity, and water drop may result. If adequate
space cannot be provided on the left and right sides, and at the back of the system, and the system is be
installed directly onto the wall, heat can only be discharged from the top. In such cases, be sure to provide
vents for discharging heat. Also observe the temperature and humidity conditions in (7).
(3) Front Space
¶ Finger and hand prints form easily on the face of the screen. Therefore make sure viewers cannot touch it
directly.
Leave workspace in front for replacing the screen.
(4) Rear Space
¶ At least 5 cm of space is required at the back of the system. However, leave more than 1 m at the back as
working space for the maintenance of the MPJ and MVP.
(5) Installation work for securing system
¶ After installation, always lower the floor levelers to prevent the system from turning over.
This system is also provided with holes to hook wires for preventing it from turning over. To prevent the
system from turning over, it is recommended that it be secured to the floor or wall.
¶ The method of securing to floors and walls differ according to their materials. Always have a construction
specialist or Pioneer dealer perform the procedure for you.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(6) Installation work for mounting on
rack
¶ Blocking the front and back will cause heat to ac-
cumulate, which may result in malfunctions.
¶ Use a rack which can bear the weight of the sys-
tem.
¶ Take measures to ensure that the system does
not turn over. Always have experienced techni-
cians or your dealer implement these measures.
(7) Temperature and Humidity Conditions
¶ Closely observe the following conditions on the temperature and humidity of the location of installation.
(1)Operating temperature
(2)Operating humidity
(3)Storing temperature
: 5 to 35 degC (No condensation)
: 20 % to 80 %
: –10 to 45 degC
¶ The lenticular sheet will stretch and consequently the center of the screen will rise if the humidity is relatively
high. In this case, the focus may slightly change and therefore readjustments in the installing conditions of the
location must be performed when your system arrives.
¶ Avoid wetting the system at all times. Due to the shape of the product, it is easily affected by external condi-
tions. Especially to be avoided is wetting the MPJ and screen. Thorough water-proof measures must be taken
when installing them in locations where there is a high level of moisture in the air such as near air-condition-
ing vents and water sprays.
* Take note that in new buildings, moisture is frequently produced from the concrete and the humidity level
subsequently rises.
¶ Electrical equipment such as this system generally should not be installed in high humidity environments.
Follow the precautions below when high humidity is expected.
• Never install the MPJ and screen in locations that do not meet their respective specifications.
• Ground the units.
• Ensure that there is no condensation.
• Install the units where no one can touch them.
• Ensure that water droplets do not fall onto the units.
(8) Condensation
One problem that occurs in the winter season is “Condensation”. When the temperature of the room in which
this system is installed rises suddenly, condensation occurs on the screen and lens, thereby the system cannot
display its best performance. In such cases, turn off the power once, leave the system off for one hour, and turn
on the power again. Increasing the room temperature gradually is another method.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(10) Lighting
¶ Although reflection by external light as seen on CRTs will not occur with this projection screen, reflection may
result when strong light such as spot light is directed at the screen. Therefore, make sure that the screens are
not exposed to direct spotlight.
¶ For certain installation location conditions, a glass sheet may have to be attached to the screen surface. In this
case, as there will be reflection by external light, consider the installation position, etc. carefully.
¶ As the actual intended images of the system may not be obtained in very bright locations, consider the posi-
tion of lighting and direction of sunlight when installing the system. Especially when the system is exposed to
direct light (sunlight, etc.) from behind, the light may be reflected on the screen. Avoid such installations.
¶ Take note that in bright places, images may appear dark even when the luminance has been increased. In
addition, increasing the luminance and contrast more than required may affect the life of the system (espe-
cially the CRT).
(11) Effects of Earth Magnetism
¶ Due to effects of earth magnetism, the position of the image displayed will differ according to the installed
direction. Difference is about several mm in the up/down/left/right directions, but the degree of change varies
according to the strength of the earth magnetism of each area. Misconvergence may also occur due to slight
rotations.
Therefore, when performing adjustments before bringing the system into the installing location. Perform the
adjustments in the same direction and angle as installation, perform adjustments again at the final location
decided.
¶ If the system is used at a fixed position, adjust it at the final position used.
¶ The system is not only affected by earth magnetism but by the following magnetisms generated by various
items in its surrounding as well.
• Steel frame of building
• Power cables on the floor
• Large speaker systems
• Special equipment (Those generating magnetic force)
• Metallic installation table, frames, etc.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(12) Power Supply
1 Power supply voltage
The guaranteed voltage of this system is ±10% of the rated voltage.
But if the impedance of the power wires is high, the voltage waveform will become distorted and show the same
symptoms as when voltage drops abnormally. As the following must be noted even if the voltage is within the
allowable range, check the power wiring again.
¶ The voltage drop from the switchboard to this system is great.
¶ The voltage changes greatly when the power of the system is turned on and off (Roughly 5% of the rated
voltage)
2 Power capacity and connection
This system is provided with one AC INLET each for units R and L. Referring to the current capacity below,
connect a switchboard with sufficient capacity for the left and right lines separately (the current increases when
the voltage drops).
When connecting the same line (same switchboard) to other devices, take note of the power consumption of the
other devices and make sure that the capacity of the switchboard is not exceeded.

Unit L
(no MVP)
3 Outlet Plug
The power supply cable of this system is provided with a outlet plug with grounding (2E) to prevent electric
hazards caused by current leakage.
Be sure to connect the plug to the outlet with grounding (2E).
4 Leak Breaker
The system is incorporated with the power line filter to reduce noise. For this reason, a leaked current of 2.0 mA
may flow through unit R (including MVP) and 1.0 mA through unit L (no MVP). If a current leakage breaker is
provided, check that the sensitivity current is above the total current leakage of the system.
Also calculate each unit such as image transmission unit, etc. as 0.5 mA.
Be sure to connect directly to the power supply on the cabinet panel to prevent voltage drop, deformation of the
current waveform, and noise inductance.
It is extremely dangerous to supply power from existing wall outlets, etc.
Install the system near the outlet for connecting the units of the system as much as possible.
Set the current capacity slightly greater-about more than 25% of the total consumption power.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(13) Cables Used
Use a coaxial cable for the external input cable. Normally use a 3C-2V for less than 15m long. Use 5C-2V for
greater lengths. Adjust the length of the cables. The distance between the transmission system and MPJ should
be as short as possible. When the distance is great, consider the thickness of the cable and electrical compensa-
tion carefully.
The limit is as shown when using the cables to connect the transmission final output terminal and the system.
3C-2V: 15m
5C-2V: 30m
To use a longer cable, the VIDEO signal must be corrected.
(14) Semi-outdoor Installation
This system is basically designed for use indoors. When the system is installed in semi-outdoor locations, the
following problems may occur. Take the following measures before using the system.
• Waterproof and rustproof measures
• Temperature difference and humidity difference
• Light on the screen (So that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.)
• Wind containing salt

3. PRECAUTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION
Do not stack the units on their sides or backs when transporting them.
Always place them upright. If they are stacked on their sides or backs, vibration and shock may cause damage or
fire hazards.
7 Precautions on transportation of unit
¶ Because it damages easily when dropped, exposed to shock or vibrations, be careful not to place heavy
objects on the unit nor drop it in transportations.
¶ Always place the unit on its side, never upright, in transportation.
¶ Do not place objects on the unit when storing it due to the simple packing.
7 Precautions on transportation of projection screen
* As Projection screen must always be installed, it will not need to be re-packed and transported. Packaging
instructions are provided for your reference just in case it has to be transported again.
¶ Pack it properly according to the packaging specifications (Fig.3-6). Also check the following conditions.
[1] The protection panel has been properly attached by the transportation screws (eight).
* Use the protection screws (gold) provided with the unit.
[2] The protection tapes are pasted to the four corners of the protection panels.
* Paste the protection tape on the protection panel.
* Use a relatively weak tape about 20 mm to 30 mm in width.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
¶ When transporting or storing the units in the packaged state, always face them up.
¶ The number of units that can be stacked in storage is 16.
¶ As the screen is at the top, be careful not to step, and place heavy objects on this top side, nor hit it with sharp
objects.
<Note>
¶ Do not mistake the top and bottom of the screen unit. The side with the longer screw projecting out (side with
transportation screw) is the top and the side with the 8 mm hole is the bottom.
¶ Before mounting the screen unit to this system, check that the transportation screw, protection panel, and
black tape have been removed. (Do not remove the protection panel on the outer-most side when installing
the system.)
¶ Also tighten the Mickey bolts used for connecting the unit and screen unit together using your hand. Tighten
as firmly as possible.
¶ Put on gloves when stacking the screen units for protection and perform in twos.
¶ To prevent the lenticular sheet from damage, mount the screen unit gently and do not subject it to vibration
and shock.
¶ When the screen units are stacked, the head of the panel fixing screws and 8 mm holes will engage. When
stacking the upper screen unit, make sure that it does not brush the lower screen unit as it has panel screws
projecting out.

ADJUSTMENTS
(2) TV System
The TV system determines the control of the whole unit (convergence, OSD display select, video system select,
deflection) according to the signal input.
Set it according to the signal input.
When TV SYSTEM is set to AUTO
¶ The mode is automatically set to NTSC or PAL according to the input signal (NTSC/PAL).
When the TV SYSTEM is set to NTSC
¶ The mode is set to NTSC regardless of the input signal.
When the TV SYSTEM is set to PAL
¶ The mode is set to PAL regardless of the input signal.
[Precaution to use]
Normally, the TV SYSTEM is set to AUTO. If the signals cannot be differentiated between NTSC and PAL (or they
are differentiated incorrectly : VCR signal repeatedly dubbed or part of CATV converter, etc.), the TV SYSTEM is
set to NTSC or PAL according to the input signal.
When the input signal is NTSC or PAL, and the TV SYSTEM is set to NTSC or PAL, it can enable the input to be
switched smoothly (little screen noises), and prevent signals from being differentiated incorrectly due to signal
disturbances and cuts.
In some cases, even if the same TV format is used, more than two types of convergence data will be required.
(For example, when there are signal phase differences for every input source, etc.) In such cases, use two types
of memories. Switch them using the personal computer.
(Note)
The built-in multi video processor can be used only for NTSC inputs. It can be made usable for PAL inputs if
options are added. For more information, contact Pioneer.

But, if the screen changes markedly, re-adjust H BLK L or H BLK R, and adjust the convergence.

5 Rough Adjustments
(1) Black level adjustment
Signal:White 10%
Adjust R LOW, G LOW, and B LOW to the point where the CRT starts lighting up.
(2) HI LIGHT adjustment
Signal:White 50%
Adjust R HI, G HI, and B HI so that the CRT becomes white. First, adjust so that the brightness of R, G, and B
becomes the same, and while maintaining that brightness, balance R, G, and B, and adjust so that the CRT
becomes white.
(3) LOW LIGHT adjustment
Signal:White 20%
Adjust R LOW, G LOW, and B LOW so that the CRT becomes gray.
(4) Convergence adjustment
Signal:White 50%, 20%
Repeat (2) to (3) and converge the light. If the HI LIGHT of
R, G, and B is moved, their LOW LIGHT will change greatly. Therefore, pay special attention to the value of the
LOW LIGHT.

6 LINEAR WHITE adjustment
When white peak signals such as WINDOW are input, due to the characteristics of the Blue CRT, there is a
tendency for the peak to become yellow compared to other colors. The linear white adjustment is performed to
correct this tendency.
Blue becomes weak when data is set to UP and strong when set to DOWN. If Linear White is added excessively,
the ABL voltage becomes unbalanced and the medium luminance of blue may be erased, etc.
Also make sure that the blue is not blur when MULTI ON is set because the top left and bottom left of the screen are affected
first.
LINEAR WHITE
becomes effective
LINEAR WHITE Down
7 ABL GAIN adjustment (White 100%)
The ABL GAIN adjustment adjusts the white 100% luminance of a unit to other units after low luminance and
medium luminance have been adjusted.
Normally, when white 100% is input, ABL is imposed and the current is controlled so that the current flowing in
the CRT does not exceed a certain level. Even if the current flowing in the CRT of each unit is the same, the
difference in the characteristics of each CRT will cause their luminance to become inconsistent. The ABL GAIN
adjustment converges this inconsistency. It adjusts the ABL current flowing virtually.
In white 100% inputs, as the ABL works efficiently, the luminance drops, when the ABL GAIN of a unit with high
luminance is decreased, use this adjustment to adjust its luminance to the other units.
Turn off the ABL in the adjustment.
Normally set the ABL GAIN to maximum.
8 ABL LEVEL adjustment (White 100%)
The ABL LEVEL adjustment controls the inconsistency of the ABL control voltage of each MPJ when ABL is on.
[1] Set the ABL of all MPJ to ON.
[2] Turn on and off the ABL of each unit to change the luminance.
[3] For MPJ whose luminance becomes dark when ABL is ON, turn UP the ABL level and set to the point
where the luminance stops changing by turning on and off the ABL.
[4] For MPJ whose luminance does not change, turn DOWN the ABL level to the point just before the
luminance becomes dark.
[5] Perform steps (2) to (4) for all the MPJ, change white from 0 to 100% and check that the ABL does not
work abnormally.

9 Adjustment Using Moving Images
The adjustment using images adjusts the overall joining of the screens by loading discs used by users (for actual perfor-
mance) and discs always used for adjustments. View the overall screen and adjust the screen with the greatest difference to
the other screens. The specific method is;at first, focus on the brightness, make the brightness the same, and correct the
differences in R, G, and B. Pay the attention that changing the HI LIGHT value affects the balance of the LOW LIGHT consid-
erably. Strictly speaking, as W/B deviation cannot be checked using moving images and W/B cannot be corrected just by
performing fine adjustments, check using rough adjustments.
If the DEMONSTRATION-II LD can be used, correct the following points.
[1] Dark images (Almost black image:FRAME No. 32300 to 33200)
Check that the brightness of the screens appears the same.
Check that black is not blur or emphasized.
[2] Bright images (Almost white image:FRAME NO. 7400 to 8100)
Focus on where the brightness is the same, especially the white peak, and check in the same way as for dark
images in (1).
[3] Skin color images (FRAME NO. 26900)
Check if the skin color of a face image is the same as in the other screens.
[4] Colored images (FRAME NO.19100)
Use when performing adjustments during VIDEO input or Y/C input. Adjust so that the colors of vegetables,
fruits, etc. are of the same brightness and same depth.
If consistency cannot be adjusted with animated images, re-input the rough adjustment data and re-adjust.
* View the moving images. If a screen is darker than the others due to excessive ABL, increase the contrast and
decrease the R, G, B High Light so that ABL is suppressed.
[5] White peak images (FRAME NO.08272)
Readjust the Linear White adjustment, if the whiteness on the white peak screen differed on each screen.
0 Confirm the moving images
View the moving images. If W/B is incorrect, set to rough adjustment. If the luminance of the multi-screen is
dark or inconsistent, set the ABL switch.
- Precautions
1 Avoid adjusting with images with high tube radiation (FRAME NO. 13590)
If only one spot is bright in a very dark image, the screen will look bright due to the spot.
2Precautions on screen hue
If the hue of the screens is green or yellow, images will not be displayed clearly. The white parts of bright
images especially will appear yellow. These images can be made clear by adjusting so that they appear
slightly bluish.
However, if made bluish excessively, brightness may appear insufficient due to the CRT characteristics.

PRECAUTIONS
2. NOT MALFUNCTION
¶ In some cases, the screen from appear bluish when seen from the left and slightly reddish when seen from the
right. This phenomenon called color shift is inevitable due to the structure of the projection system in which
the R G, B tubes are lined up and light is projected from the rear.
¶ When bright images are displayed in the dark, the light reflected on the lens will shine in the darkness slightly.
This phenomenon called tube-inside reflection is inevitable due to the structure of the projection whose CRT
light has been expanded using the lens. (Fig. 6-1.)

RMD-V3020 COMMAND REFERENCE
Outline of RMD-V3020
• Introduction
The RMD-V3020 is an input board (hereafter referred to as VS board) which supports variable scanning for
inputting images of computer (hereafter referred to as PC) to the MVP.
Horizontal frequency
Vertical frequency
Dot clock
: 24 kHz to 35 kHz
: 55 Hz to 72 Hz
: Up to 35 MHz
Signal
: Non-interlace signal
(The HDTV, 15 kHz RGB signal will not be dis-
played because it is interlaced.)
• Basic functions
With the VS board, standard PC signal information is preset in the memory. When the PC signal is input to the
MVP, the images are automatically output in the best state through this board after the model has been
discriminated. (For details of the preset models, refer to the M commands of the VS board described later.)
Although non-preset models must also be adjusted using general data, images can be output temporarily and
these models are compatible with recent PCs, accelerator boards with various resolutions. (Refer to Mode 99
described later.)
Automatic detection cannot be performed but a user-presetable area for 31 models is provided. This enables
the data of unknown models to be registered and used in the same way as preset model data.
• Precautions in use
In some cases, problems may occur when communication is carried out with the MVP at 2400 bps in the
adjustment of the VS board, etc.
• VS board adjustment mode
In the communication state with the MVP, the VS board adjustment mode can be set by inputting :A.

APPENDIX (Manual)
MODE 99
The VS board contains preset data for autolocking 9 computer main models at shipment.
However, looking at the recent PC market is taken into consideration, it is not possible to incorporate preset data
in all models due to the diversification of manufacturers, models, and graphic mode, etc.
For this reason, the variable scan board has been forcibly locked to the mode called model data 99 for personal
computers without preset data in order to output the personal computer screen to the monitor.
Consequently, it can deal with many of the 24 kHz to 35 kHz personal computers (the upper limit for the dot clock
is 35 MHz).
However, this model No. 99 has several restrictions in order to deal with numerous personal computers.
• When the HFD command to change the sampling clock exceeds 35 MHz, the image may become blur.
Use 99 without moving HFD as much as possible.
• At the point the personal computer locked to model No. 99, dusts may appear at the top and bottom as shown
in the figure.
Dusts appearing at the top and bottom.
In this case, mask the dusts using VWN, VPS, and
VWD.
• The RGB board is the upper limit at which the dot clock 35 MHz ensures performance.
The following is a simple calculation method of the dot clock.
Dot clock (Hz)=Effective dot number x Horizontal frequency (Hz) x 1.35
• Use Mode 99 to output images temporarily. When used, it is recommended that the user preset area (No. 28
to 58) be changed and used after checking the frequency, etc. using FRQ command.
• The G ON SYNC model is not locked in the Mode 99.

Description
With the VS board, first the input PC frequency and full line number are measured. Next, if there are preset
models which have three matching measuring data, it is determined that these models are connected and they
are set into the autolock state.
In the autolock state, 01 AUTO is displayed by the STS command.
If there exists no preset model data corresponding to the measuring data, all models are autolocked to Mode 99.
(Refer to “MODE 99”.)
Take note that there are DOS/V personal computers which have 640 effective dot number and 480 effective line
number but a different full line number (526 or 524) from the standard VGA 525. In this case, their models are
autolocked to Mode 99.
As the frequency is close to the VGA, when the VS board is forcible locked to the VGA by M01 and data is output,
the image frame, etc. will be optimum. In this way, the M command is used when using the preset data as
substitute data.
USING METHODS OF HFQ, VFQ, VLN
There is a need to autolock unpreset models without using the Mode 99 accoridng to the state in which the VS
board is used.
The procedure is as follows.
1. Input a PC without the preset data.
2. Autolock to 99.

APPENDIX (Manual)
SELECTING THE SYNC SIGNAL
When adjusting the VS board, care must be taken regarding the relation of the priority order of the sync
signal.
Order of selecting the sync signal
The priority order for selecting the sync signal of the VS board is
Separate sync > composite sync > Green on sync.
However, if the sync signal of a certain method is selected once according to the connection and power ON/
OFF order, even if sync signals with a higher priority order than that sync signal are connected later, sync
selection will not be switched.
In this case, however, the priority order will be selected again when the power of the converter is turned on
again.
Frame for Sync Signal
The horizontal frame values are saved according to the sync signal currently selected.
For this reason, the horizontal frame may deviate according to the type of sync signal even with the same
computer.
(Example)
When models with both the composite sync and green on sync are connected (Frequently with
Macintosh)
1 Connect cables G, B, R, and CS in this order with the power of the input personal computer and
converter on.
2 After connecting the cable with the power of the input personal computer on, turn on the power of
the converter. The composite sync will be selected.
The green on sync is selected.
When frame adjustment is carried out in the 1 state, 2 state is set when the power is turned on the
next time, meaning that the frame deviates.
It is necessary to set state 2 at all times so that the same sync signal is selected during both adjustments and
use.
