Preparations

Checking the Accessories

The following accessories are included with the Monitor. Check for them. If any item is missing, please contact the dealer where you purchased the Monitor.

• Remote control (RM-C579) x 1

• Power cord x 1

• Batteries (AA/R6P) x 2

• Ferrite core x 2

Installing the Batteries

Put the batteries in the remote control as follows. If the remote control has become erratic in operation, change the batteries.

Remove the back cover.

While pushing the release lever on the cover, remove the cover in the direction of the arrow.

Place the batteries.

Put the two supplied batteries (AA/R6P), noting the ª and · markings, as shown.

Replace the back cover as illustrated.

Make sure the release lever on the cover is locked in place correctly.

Precautions for using batteries

If batteries are used improperly, the liquid could leak out, causing a fire, injury, etc. or dirtying the vicinity. Take notice of the following:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix different types of battery as different types may have different characteristics.

• Place the batteries according to the ª and · markings indicated on the battery compartment.

• When installing the batteries, insert the · end first to avoid a short circuit.

• Use only the specified batteries.

• When you are not using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

• When the batteries have reached the end of their life, replace them with new ones immediately. Otherwise, the liquid may leak

out, or malfunction may be caused by the leaked liquid. If the leaked liquid contacts your skin, wipe off the liquid with a soft cloth. If the affected skin is left as is, you may get a rough skin.

• Do not throw the batteries into fire or try recharging them.

• The service life of batteries is six months to one year for normal use. The supplied batteries are only for checking the operation

and their life may be shorter. When the remote control operation becomes erratic, replace with new batteries.

About the Supplied Ferrite Core

Be sure to attach the supplied ferrite cores to the speaker cords when using external speakers to reduce interference from the Monitor with external devices. See page 13.

• When installing this Monitor vertically, it is also required to set the speed of the internal cooling fan to “HIGH” (see page 25).

• If you install the Monitor in such a way not instructed in this manual (for example, installing it diagonally), the cooling fan unit may not be able to cool down the internal heat enough to make the Monitor operate; therefore, reinstallation or another method for cooling will be required. Consult your dealer in such a case.

• For more detailed connection, refer to the manual supplied with the external cooling fan unit.

Ferrite core (supplied)

Attach the supplied ferrite cores to the speaker cords when using external speakers. Attach the ferrite cores as near to the SPEAKER OUT L/R terminals on the rear panel of the Monitor as possible.

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.

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.

■ 720/60p, 720/50p, 1080/60i (1035/60i), or 1080/50i 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 SELECT” Menu (see page 19).
