Source note

Loading capacity is recorded for pixel-to-pixel display (13 million applies only when the scaling function is used). asyncPlayback is recorded from the playback features the document lists (program editing and publishing, playback control of local programs, standalone USB playback); the document does not use the word 'asynchronous'. syncPlayback is recorded from the HDMI inputs and the statement that HDMI 1 can be used as program content to display internal and external sources at the same time; the document does not use the word 'synchronous'.
