• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cord.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

On Installation

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

When installing, the installation space must be secured in consideration of ventilation and service operation.

- Do not block the ventilation slots or fan vents.

- Leave space around the unit for ventilation.

- Leave more than 40 cm of space in the rear of the unit to secure the operation area.

When the unit is installed on a desk or similar surface, leave at least 1U (4.4 cm) or more of space above and below the unit. Leaving 40 cm or more of space above the unit is recommended for service operation.

Handling the Screen

- The panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high-precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus, a very small proportion of pixels may be "stuck," either always off (black),

always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, due to the physical characteristics of the panel, such "stuck" pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.

• Do not leave the screen facing the sun, as it can damage the screen. Take care when placing the unit near a window.
• Do not push or scratch the monitor's screen. Do not place heavy objects on the monitor's screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.

On Burn-in

Due to the characteristics of the material used in the OLED panel for its high-precision images, permanent burn-in may occur if still images are displayed in the same position on the screen continuously, or repeatedly over extended periods.

Images that may cause burn-in

• Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9 • Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
• Character or message displays that indicate settings or the operating state
• On-screen displays such as center markers or area markers

To reduce the risk of burn-in

• Turn off the character and marker displays. Press the MENU button to turn off the character displays. To turn off the character or marker displays of the connected equipment, operate the connected equipment accordingly. For details, refer to the operation manual of the connected equipment.
• Turn off the power when not in use. Turn off the power if the viewfinder is not to be used for a prolonged period of time.

Screen saver

This product has a built-in screen saver function to reduce burn-in. When an almost still image is displayed for more than 10 minutes, the screen saver starts automatically and the brightness of the screen decreases.

On a Long Period of Use

Due to an OLED's panel structure and characteristics of materials in its design, displaying static images for extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high humidity environments may cause image smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall brightness.

In particular, continued display of an image smaller than the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio, may shorten the life of the unit.

Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high humidity environment such as airtight room, or around the outlet of an air conditioner.

To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power whenever the unit is not in use.

Handling and Maintenance of the Screen

The surface of the screen is specially coated to reduce image reflection. Make sure to observe the following points as improper maintenance procedures may impair the screen's performance. In addition, the screen is vulnerable to damage. Do not scratch or knock against it using a hard object.

• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet before performing maintenance.
• The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not attach adhesive objects, such as stickers, on it.
• The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not touch the screen directly.
• Wipe the screen surface gently with the supplied cleaning cloth or a soft dry cloth to remove dirt.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with the supplied cleaning cloth, or a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
• The screen may become scratched if the cleaning cloth is dusty.
• Never use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene, thinner, acidic or alkaline detergent, detergent with abrasives, or chemical wipe as these may damage the screen.
• Use a blower to remove dust from the screen surface.

On Dew Condensation

If the viewfinder is moved suddenly from a cold place to a warm place, or used in a room with high humidity, water droplets may form on the interior of the product. This phenomenon is known as dew condensation.

This product does not come with a feature that warns users of dew condensation. If water droplets are found on the casing, turn off the power, and wait until the condensation disappears before using.

On Repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container which to transport the unit.

Disposal of the Unit

Do not dispose of the unit with general waste.

Do not include the monitor with household waste.

When you dispose of the monitor, you must obey the law in the relative area or country.

On Fan Error

The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the fan stops and the ⏻ (standby) switch indicator on the front panel blinks in green and amber for fan error indication, turn off the power and contact an authorized Sony dealer.

About this manual

The instructions in this manual are for the following two models:

• PVM-2541 • PVM-1741

The illustration of PVM-2541 is used for the explanations. Any differences in specifications are clearly indicated in the text.

Features

The PVM-2541 (25-type) or PVM-1741 (17-type)

Professional Video Monitor is a high performance color video monitor. This is suitable for television stations or video production houses, where precise image reproduction is required.

It features OLED panel and “TRIMASTER ¹⁾ ,” which is a new technology developed for three elements, “accurate color reproduction,” “precision imaging” and “quality picture consistency,” that are in demand for professional use. “TRIMASTER” decreases the viewing difference that occurs due to the individuality of each panel. Also, it realizes the high picture quality and high-trust required for the professional video monitor by the color management system with its wide color gamut device, high-resolution/precise gradation display, highly accurate signal processing and panel correction function.

¹⁾ TRIMASTER is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Advantages of OLED panel technology

The OLED panel makes use of an organic material, which emits light when an electric current is applied. Being self-emitting, the strength of luminescence can be controlled by the amount of electric current. This brings about the following three features:

Quick motion picture response:

The luminescent state of the OLED panel can be changed instantaneously by changing the current flow in the organic material. This enables a quick motion picture response and production of images with minimal blurring and ghosting. Furthermore, performance for shooting on location is not influenced by changes in environmental temperature.

High contrast and wide dynamic range:

The OLED panel does not emit light when black signal is applied to the monitor, enabling a pure black screen to be displayed. Furthermore, thanks to a wide dynamic range the panel impressively displays brilliance and clarity of various sparkling images, such as stars in a night sky twinkling, night illuminations winking or glass glittering, etc.

Rich color reproduction:

An OLED panel's self-luminescence also allows for great color reproduction across the entire spectrum in practically any shade or brightness.

Sony's Super Top Emission ²⁾ OLED panel

Both 17-type and 25-type models include a full HD (1920 × 1080) OLED panel featuring Sony's Super Top Emission technology. Unlike the conventional bottom

emission structure of TFT, Sony's OLED panel can reproduce a crisper image due to high brightness. Furthermore, a unique microcavity structure makes RGB primary colors purer and deeper by utilizing light resonance effects that magnify optimum light wave lengths and diminish undesired light wave lengths. The panel's 10-bit driver enables smooth gradation of color shading.

²⁾ “Super Top Emission” is a trademark that represents the OLED technology of Sony Corporation.

FORCED TALLY The tally lamp function is forcibly assigned to 7 pin and 8 pin of the PARALLEL REMOTE connector. Selecting ON assigns tally lamp green to 7 pin and tally lamp red to 8 pin.

ON: Forcibly assigns the tally lamp function.

OFF: The tally lamp function is not forcibly assigned.

Note

When OFF is selected, any listed functions can be assigned to pins 7 and 8. Selecting ON with any function other than the tally lamp assigned to pins 7 and 8 will ignore this setting, and the tally lamp is forcibly assigned to pins 7 and 8 instead.

Troubleshooting

This section may help you isolate the cause of a problem and, as a result, eliminate the need to contact technical support.

- The unit cannot be operated. The key protection function works. Set the KEY INHIBIT setting to OFF in the KEY INHIBIT menu. Or, a function that does not work is assigned. Press the RETURN button to check the assigned functions.

- The black bars appear at the upper and lower positions of the display. When the signal aspect ratio is different from that of the panel, the black bars appear. This is not a failure of the unit.

- Adjustments and settings cannot be made. Adjustments and settings may not be possible depending on the input signals and the status of the unit. See "Input Signals and Adjustable/Setting Items" (page 52).
