• Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air circulation. 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 near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

• Do not place the unit near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a converter or high voltage power lines. Maintenance

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items, like a ballpoint pen or a screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube. Transportation When you transport this monitor for repairing or shipping, use the original carton box and packing materials. Warning on power connection

• Use a proper power cord for your local power supply. Examples of plug shapes

• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait for at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the CRT display surface to discharge.

• After the power has been turned on, the CRT is demagnetized for approximately five seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the bezel, which may affect the data stored on magnetic tapes or disks near the bezel. Place such magnetic recording equipment and tapes/disks away from this unit. The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily accessible. Precautions for 100 to 120 V ACfor 200 to 240 V AC4 Before using this monitor, check that the following items are included in your package:

When a DDC1 host system is connected, the monitor synchronizes with the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA standards and outputs the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to the data line. When a DDC2B or DDC2AB host system is connected, the monitor automatically switches to each communication. DDC is a trademark of Video Electronics Standard Association. Damper Wire Using a white background, very thin horizontal lines on the screen are visible as shown below. These lines are damper wires. The Trinitron tube has a vertically striped Aperture Grill inside. The Aperture Grille allows more light to pass through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color and brightness. These damper wires are attached to the Aperture Grille to prevent vibration of the Aperture Grille wire so that the screen image is constantly stable. Power consumption state Normal operation Standby (1st state) Suspend (2nd state) Active-off (3rd state) Power-off

Power Saving Function This monitor is capable of three states of reduced power consumption. By sensing the absence of video signals and one or both sync signals coming from the host computer, it will reduce power consumption as follows. Power saving operation

• The H-sync is not present. / The unit goes into standby state.

• The V-sync is not present. / The unit goes into suspend state.

• Both the H-sync and V-sync are not present. / The unit goes into active-off state. The monitor requires a video card or screen saver software which switches off one or both sync signals to activate the power saving function. Caution If no video signal is input to the monitor, or if the input select switch is set to the connector to which no signal is input when you turn on the monitor, the input signal warning indicator (page 17) appears. After 30 seconds, the Power Saving function automatically puts the monitor into the Active-off state and the power saving indicator lights up. Once the horizontal and vertical syncs are sensed, the monitor will automatically return to its Normal operation state. Recovery time

Symptom Check these items No picture If the u power indicator nor power saving indicator is lit If the power saving indicator is lit If the u power indicator is flashing in green If the u power and/or power saving indicators are flashing in orange If you do the above procedures and the monitor does not recover Picture is scrambled Color is not uniform You cannot adjust the monitor with the buttons on the front panel White does not look white Screen image is not centered or sized properly Edges of the image are curved

• Check that the power cord is properly connected.

• Check that the u power switch is in the “on” position.

• Check that your computer power switch is in the “on” position.

• The monitor will recover when you press any key on the keyboard of the computer.

• The input select switch setting is incorrect.

• Check that the video signal cable is properly connected and all plugs are firmly seated in their socket.

• Check that the 5 BNC’s are connected in the correct order (from the power cord side: Red–Green–Blue–HD–VD).

• Ensure that no pins are bent or pushed in the HD15 video input connector.

• Check that the video board is seated completely in the proper bus slot.

• Check that the video frequency range is within that specified for the monitor. (Horizontal: 30 – 96 kHz, Vertical: 50 – 160 Hz)

• Turn the monitor off and on. If the indicator is off, the monitor is in the normal condition. If the indicator is still flashing, there is a potential monitor failure.

• Unplug the video input 1 and 2 connectors and wait for 5 seconds. Then press and hold the > + button for 2 seconds to display the color bars. If the color bars appear, the monitor may be in normal condition. Turn the monitor off and on to return to the normal operation mode. If the color bars do not appear, there is a potential monitor failure.

• Check your graphic board manual for proper monitor setting.

• Check this manual and confirm that the graphic mode and the frequency at which you are trying to operate is supported (page 6). Even within the proper range some video boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.

• Degauss the monitor (page 15). If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field such as a loudspeaker, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity. This function is to demagnetize the metal frame of the CRT to obtain a neutral field for uniform color reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result.

• Adjust the landing (page 10).

• If the control lock function is set to on, set it to off on the OPTION OSD (page 15). You will be able to adjust the monitor.

• Adjust color (pages 11, 14).

• Check that the 5 BNC’s are connected in the correct order (from the power cord side: Red–Green–Blue–HD–VD).

• Adjust the centering or size (pages 9, 13).

• Some video modes do not fill the screen to the edge of the monitor. There is no single answer to solve the problem. This problem tends to occur on higher refresh timings.

• Adjust the geometry items such as pincushion and keystone distortion (pages 10, 13).19

• If the problem persists, call your service representative from a location near your monitor.

• Note the model name and the serial number of your monitor. Also note the make and name of your computer and video board. Symptom Check these items White lines show red or blue shades at edges Picture is fuzzy Picture bounces or has wavy oscillations Picture is not stable Picture appears to be ghosting Two fine horizontal lines (wires) are visible Wavy or elliptical (moire) pattern is visible Hum is heard right after the power is turned on

• Adjust the convergence (pages 10, 13).

• Adjust the contrast and brightness (pages 8, 12).

• Degauss the monitor (page 15). If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field such as a loudspeaker, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity. This function is to demagnetize the metal frame of the CRT to obtain a neutral field for uniform color reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result.

• If red or blue shades are found at the edge of images, adjust the convergence (pages 10, 13).

• If the moire is cancelled, the picture may become fuzzy. Adjust so that the picture is as clear as possible (pages 10, 14).

• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields. Common causes for this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent lighting, laser printers, and so on.

• If you have another monitor close to this monitor, increase the distance between them to reduce the interference.

• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.

• Try the monitor on a completely different computer in a different room.

• Set the refresh rate to non-interlace of 75 Hz or more on the computer referring to the computer’s manual.

• Eliminate the use of video cable extension cable and/or video switch boxes if this symptom occurs. Excessive cable length or weak connection can produce this symptom.

• These wires stabilize the vertically striped Aperture Grille (page 16). This Aperture Grille allows more light to pass through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color and brightness.

• Cancel the moire (pages 10, 14). The moire may be modified depending on the connected computer.

• Due to the relationship between resolution, monitor dot pitch and the pitch of some image patterns, certain screen backgrounds, especially gray, sometimes show moire. Change your desktop pattern.

• When the power is turned on, the auto-degauss cycle is activated. While the Auto- degauss cycle is activated, a hum may be heard. This is not a malfunction.2 Owner’s Record The model and serial numbers are located at the rear of the unit.Record the serial number in the space provided below.
