Precautions for use
Cautions when installing
Do not set up the Display outdoors.
• The Display is designed for indoor use.
Install this unit at a location which can support the weight of the unit.
- Use the installation bracket that conforms to VESA standards
Environmental temperature to use this unit
- When using the unit where it is below 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level: 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F)
- When using the unit at high altitudes (1 400 m (4 593 ft) and higher and below 2 800 m (9 186 ft) above sea level): 0 °C to 35 °C (32 °F to 95 °F)
Do not install the unit where it is 2 800 m (9 186 ft) and higher above sea level.

Be careful of the movable structure of the power indicator and remote control sensor.
- As factory default, the power indicator and remote control sensor are stored in the main unit. For normal use, pull out the remote control sensor from the edge side of the main unit by operating the lever on the rear panel. Depending on the setup condition such as when using the multi display, store the remote control sensor in the main unit. (see page 25)
Do not grab the liquid crystal panel.
- Do not forcibly press the liquid crystal panel, or push it with a pointed object. Applying a strong force to the liquid crystal panel will cause unevenness of the screen display, resulting in malfunction.
Depending on the temperature or humidity conditions, uneven brightness may be observed. This is not a malfunction.
- This unevenness will disappear while applying current continuously. If not, consult the distributor.

Notes on Using Wired LAN
When setting up the Display at a place, where electric statistic occurs often, take a sufficient antistatic measure before start using.
- When the Display is used at a location, where static electricity occurs often, such as on a carpet, a wired LAN communication is disconnected more often. In that case, remove static electricity and the noise source that may cause problems with an antistatic mat, and re-connect the wired LAN.
- In rare cases, the LAN connection is disabled due to static electricity or noise. In that case, turn off the power of the Display and the connected devices once and then re-turn on the power.
The Display may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the broadcast station or the radio.
- If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio wave, near the installation location, set up the Display at a location sufficiently far from the source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the LAN terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at both ends.
Cleaning and maintenance
The front of the liquid crystal panel has been specially treated. Wipe the surface of the liquid crystal panel gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or water in which neutral detergent has been diluted 100 times, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects, otherwise the surface may become damaged. Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water to which a small amount of neutral detergent has been added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact with the surface of the Display. If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for long periods in contact with articles made from rubber or PVC.
Usage of a chemical cloth
Do not use a chemical cloth for the panel surface.
Follow the instructions for the chemical cloth to use it for the cabinet.

Before connecting
Before connecting cables, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
- When connecting a cable to the unit or a device connected to the unit itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
- Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect a device to the unit or to the unit body. The longer the cable, the more susceptible to noise it becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
- When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.
• Acquire any cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is neither supplied with the device nor available as an option.
- If the outer shape of the plug of a connection cable is large, it may come in contact with the periphery such as a back cover or the plug of an adjacent connection cable. Use a connection cable with the suitable plug size for the terminal alignment.
- When connecting the LAN cable with plug cover, be aware that the cover may come in contact with the back cover and it may be difficult to disconnect.
- If video signals from video equipment contain too much jitter, the images on the screen may wobble. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
- When the sync signals output from PC or video equipment are disturbed, for example, when changing settings of video output, the colour of the video may be disturbed temporarily.
- The unit accepts Composite video signals, YCBCR/YPBPR signals (PC IN), analogue RGB signals (PC IN) and digital signals.
- Some PC models are not compatible with the unit.
- Use cable compensator when you connect devices to the unit using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly.
- Refer to "Preset Signals" (see page 89) for the types of video signals that can be displayed with the unit.

The type of computer signal that can be connected
With regard to the typical PC input signals that are described in "Preset Signals" (see page 89), adjustment values such as for the standard picture positions and sizes have already been stored in this unit.
(Computer signals which can be input are those with a horizontal scanning frequency of 30 to 110 kHz and vertical scanning frequency of 48 to 120 Hz.)
The display resolution is a maximum of 1 440 × 1 080 dots when the aspect mode is set to [4:3], and 1 920 × 1 080 dots when the aspect mode is set to [16:9]. If the display resolution exceeds these maximums, it may not be possible to show fine detail with sufficient clarity.
In [ENGLISH(US)] OSD language, [16:9] is displayed as [FULL].
( Note
The PC IN terminal is DDC2B-compatible. If the computer being connected is not DDC2B-compatible, you will need to make setting changes to the computer at the time of connection.
There is no need to use an adapter for computers with DOS/V compatible Mini D-sub 15P terminal.
The computer shown in the illustration is for example purposes only.
• Additional computer, cables and conversion adapter shown are not supplied with this set.
Do not set the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for PC signals which are above or below the specified frequency range.
Component Input is possible with the pin 1, 2, 3 of the Mini D-sub 15P Connector.
Change the [Component/RGB-in select] setting in the [Signal] menu to [Component] (when Component signal connection) or [RGB] (when RGB signal connection). (see page 43)
