e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

– When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer or with same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

– Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to

determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

– The product should be placed more than 30 cm away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, and

other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

– When connecting other products such as VCR’s, and personal computers, you should turn off the power of this product

for protection against electric shock.

– Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For example, cloth, paper, matches, aerosol cans or gas lighters that

present special hazards when over heated.

– Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to prevent shock.

– Do not touch the handles on the rear soon after many hours of continuous use. They are so hot and will cause a burn on

the hand. If you need to touch the handles, for example, to move the product, wait until the handles are cooled enough.

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.

■ 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).

Remote sensor

Power lamp

1 2 3

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.
