Input terminals for the HD/SD SDI signals.

• The terminals accept also EMBEDDED AUDIO
signals including up to 12 audio channels with a
sampling frequency of 48 kHz.

7 E. AUDIO HD/SD SDI (SWITCHED OUT) terminal

(BNC)

Output terminal for the HD/SD SDI signals.

• The SDI signals of the current input (SDI 1 or SDI

2) are re-clocked, then emitted.

• When an input other than SDI 1 and SDI 2 is
selected, the SDI signal of the input selected last
time is emitted from this terminal.

• The signals are emitted from this terminal only
when the monitor is on or in “P.SAVE” (power
save) mode.

8 DVI-D (HDCP) terminal

Input terminal for the DVI-D signal compatible with
HDCP.

9 DC IN 12V terminal

DC 12 V (maximum
DC 17 V) power input
connector.

When using DC 12 V power (maximum DC 17 V),
check the DC IN 12V terminal pin signal, and use
the correct polarity. If the polarity is reversed, this
could cause a fire or personal injury.

• While using both the AC and DC 12 V power
supply, AC power supply is preferentially used. If
the AC power supply is cut off (for example, when
turning off the POWER switch), the power supply
automatically switches to the DC 12 V power
supply.

This monitor has three external control terminals.

• MAKE/TRIGGER terminal (RJ-45): The following external control systems are available.
(1) MAKE (make contact) system: Controls the monitor by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to

the GND pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it.

(2) TRIGGER (trigger) system: Controls the monitor by sending the pulse signal instantaneously to the

corresponding pin terminal.

☞ “Using the MAKE/TRIGGER system” on page 17

• RS-485 terminals (RJ-45): Controls the monitor with the RS-485 system. (☞ “Using the serial communication”
on page 18)

• RS-232C terminal (D-sub 9-pin): Controls the monitor with the RS-232C system. (☞ “Using the serial
communication” on page 18)

Set the following items of “REMOTE SETTING” in SET-UP MENU according to the external control terminal and

Symptom Probable cause and corrective action Page

The picture becomes
blurred.

Wrong picture position,
wrong picture size.

Some items do not
appear on the menu.

Buttons on the monitor
do not work.

The following are not malfunctions.

• When a still image is displayed for a long time, it may remain indistinctly on the screen after the picture has
changed. Though the remaining picture will disappear after a while, there may be a case that it remains
for a long period depending on the length of time the still image was displayed for. This is due to the
characteristics of the LCD display and is not a malfunction.

• Red spots, blue spots and green spots on the panel surface are a normal characteristic of LCD displays,
and not a problem. The LCD display is built with very high precision technology; however, be aware that a
few pixels may be missing or constantly lit.

• The following symptoms are problems only when pictures or sounds are not played back normally.
– A slight electric shock occurs when you touch the monitor.
– The top and/or rear panel of the monitor becomes hot.
– The monitor emits a cracking noise.
– The monitor emits a mechanical noise.

• Adjust the picture contrast or brightness by using the adjustment
knobs on the front panel. Or, adjust “CONTRAST” or “BRIGHT” of
“PICTURE SUB ADJ.” in the SET-UP MENU.

• Check whether the setting of 1:1 or ASPECT buttons is appropriate.

POSITION) of “SIZE/POSI. ADJ.” in the SET-UP MENU.

• For some signals, the picture cannot be displayed fully in the effective
screen area. There is no sure method to solve this problem.

• The items which are not available for the current input or the current
input signal are not displayed on the menu. Change the input or the
input signal.

• The items controlled by the MAKE system do not appear on the
menu.

• Set “CONTROL LOCK” in the SET-UP MENU to “OFF.”

• You cannot use the buttons for the items controlled by the MAKE
system. Disable the external control.

7 Self-check program

This monitor has a self-check function, which allows it to detect malfunctions and alert you. This makes
troubleshooting easier. Whenever a problem occurs, one or some of the INPUT SELECT lamps will flash. If this
happens, follow the steps below and contact your dealer to resolve the problem.

When the screen goes blank, and one or some of the INPUT SELECT lamps (DVI, COMPO., VIDEO) on the

front control panel start flashing...

1 Check which lamps are flashing.

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.

Screen

To avoid irreparable change in appearance of the screen such as uneven color, discoloration, scratches, be
careful about the following:

• Do not paste or stick anything using any glues or adhesive tapes.

• Do not write anything on the screen.

• Do not strike the screen with a hard object.

• Avoid condensation on the screen.

• Do not wipe the screen with solvent such as alcohol, thinner, or benzine.

• Do not wipe the screen forcefully.

Wipe stains off the screen with a soft cloth. If the screen gets heavily stained, wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in
water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

Cabinet

To avoid the deterioration or damages of the cabinet such as its paint’s peeling away, be careful about the
following:

• Do not wipe the cabinet using solvent such as alcohol, thinner, or benzine.

• Do not expose the cabinet to any volatile substance such as insecticides.

• Do not allow any rubber or plastic in contact for a long time.

• Do not wipe the cabinet forcefully.

Wipe stains off the cabinet with a soft cloth. If the cabinet gets heavily stained, wipe it with a soft cloth soaked in
water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

Ventilation openings

Use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust around the intakes (all the openings). If a vacuum cleaner is not
available, use a cloth and wipe it off. Leaving the dust around the intakes may prevent proper temperature control
and cause damage to the product.

2 Press button to turn off (on standby) the monitor.
3 Turn off the POWER switch and DC switch on the rear panel.
4

When the AC power supply is used: Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

When a DC 12 V power supply is used: Detach the battery or disconnect the plug

from the DC IN 12V terminal.

5 Contact your dealer with the information about which lamps were flashing.

• If you turn on the monitor soon after turning it off (or after a short-term power failure), the INPUT SELECT
lamps may flash and no image may be displayed.

When this happens, turn off power and wait at least 10 seconds before turning on the monitor again.
If the INPUT SELECT lamps do not flash, you can use the monitor as normal.
