• Turn on or off the Monitor. Preparation: The POWER switch on the rear must be set to “| (on)” (so that the Monitor is in standby mode).

• Select the input. Preparation: “REMOTE SWITCH” should be set correctly to select your desired input (see page 27).

Notes:

• There is no remote control on/off switch. When a plug is inserted to the MAKE terminal, remote control through the external control unit is automatically activated.

• When the other REMOTE terminals are used at the same time, transmitted commands through the MAKE terminal have priority over those through the other terminals.

ASPECT

With this Monitor, you can select among three types of wide screens (FULL, ZOOM, and PANORAMIC) in addition to the REGULAR screen of conventional 4:3 aspect ratio.

ENGLISH

Press ASPECT to select the screen size.

Each time you press the button, the screen size changes as follows:

REGULAR: Displays at conventional 4:3 aspect ratio.

FULL: REGULAR size display is enlarged

horizontally.

Precautions for using the screen mode switching function

• This Monitor features a screen mode switching (aspect ratio change) function. If you select a mode different in aspect ratio from software such as TV programs, the picture may look different from original picture. Be aware of this point when you are selecting a screen mode.

• If you select a wide screen mode while viewing conventional video programs of the aspect ratio 4:3, some portions (edges) of the original picture will be cut off, or deformed. To enjoy the original picture as it is, select

“REGULAR” while viewing such programs.

• If you place the Monitor in a tea room, hotel, etc. for

business purposes or public viewing and modify the picture by using the screen mode switching (aspect ratio change) function, this could violate the copyright protected by the copyright law, which requires your special attention.

• If you make the screen very bright and watch programs selecting “REGULAR,” for a long period of time, the Monitor screen may happen to be burned in. If this occurs, watching programs using a wide screen mode for a while will reduce the burn-in gradually.

ZOOM: REGULAR size display is enlarged

vertically and horizontally at the same ratio.

PANORAMIC: REGULAR size display is enlarged

horizontally to the extent that the picture does not look abnormally.

Notes:

• When one of the following signals is being input, you cannot select the aspect ratio you want.

■ 1080/50i, 1080/60i, 1035/60i or 720/60p signal through the

COMPONENT/RGB B input terminals

You can only select FULL.

■ When any signal other than RGB15K-60 and RGB15K-50

through the RGB A or COMPONENT/RGB B input terminals

You can select only REGULAR and FULL.

• The aspect ratio can also be changed on the Function Selection Menu (page 21).
