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 1

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.

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.

Attaching the Ferrite Core

Attach the ferrite core to the power cord. Using the power cord without the ferrite core may lead to noise (interference). Open the ferrite core, insert the power cord and close the ferrite core. Attach the ferrite core to the AC IN end of the power cord.

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, 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 Selection Menu (page 21).

If the trouble still persists, follow the procedure below:

When something abnormal occurs with the Monitor, this function informs you of the condition of the Monitor with self-diagnostic lamps, allowing for smooth service work.

❑ If the screen monitor turns off and self-diagnostic

lamps light or flash

If the self-diagnostic lamps light or flash in red, check the

following before consulting the dealer where you purchased the Monitor.

• If self-diagnostic lamp 1 (upper) flashes, lamp 2 (middle)

lights, and lamp 3 (lower) flashes

This may be caused by the dusty intakes on the rear. If this happens, switch off the main power by POWER switch (set to “‡ (off)”), unplug the AC power cord, then clean the intakes by referring to the instruction on page 2. – After cleaning, switch on the Monitor’s main power

again. If self-diagnostic lamps do not go off, consult your dealer immediately.

Check which lamps are lighting or flashing.

On the Self-diagnostic Report Sheet (below), check the box next to “Lights” or “Flashes” of the corresponding lamp or lamps.

• Only one lamp may light or flash, or all three lamps may do so.

Switch off the POWER switch on the back of the Monitor.

Unplug the power cord.

Call your dealer and tell which lamps are lighting or flashing. (Copy and fax the Self-diagnostic Report Sheet below.)

Note:

If you switch on the main power immediately after switching it off (or after recovering from a brief power interruption), the self-diagnostic lamps may light (or flash), and no image may appear on the screen. In this case, switch off the main power again, wait for about 10 seconds, then switch it on again. If no self-diagnostic lamps light or flash, you can operate and use the Monitor as usual.

Self-diagnostic Report Sheet

❑ If the screen monitor dims a little and “TEMP. OVER”

lights (or flashes)

If “TEMP. OVER” lights or flashes at the right bottom of the

screen, check the following before consulting the dealer where you purchased the Monitor.

“TEMP. OVER” appears to warn you of the internal heat

buildup, which is usually caused by accumulated dust around the intakes or by improper installation. If the cause of the internal heat buildup is eliminated, this indication disappears and the screen recovers the brightness.

• If “TEMP. OVER” flashes in yellow

again. If “TEMP. OVER” still flashes, this trouble may be caused by improper installation or improper location of the Monitor. In this case, consult your dealer immediately to solve this improper installation and to improve the circumstances around the Monitor.

• If “TEMP. OVER” lights in red “TEMP. OVER” will be shown for abut two minutes, the

Monitor will shut off automatically, then the Selfdiagonal lamps light in red. If this happens, switch off the main power by POWER switch (set to “‡ (off)”), unplug the AC power cord, then consult your dealer immediately.
