Precautions for Use

• The LCD screen is manufactured to precise specifications. Although over 99.99% of the pixels function normally,

0.01% of the pixels are either missing or constantly lit (red, blue or green). This is normal and not a cause for concern.

• The liquid crystal protection panel is a specially manufactured component. Wiping it with a hard cloth, or rubbing it vigorously will scratch the surface.

• If a still image is displayed for an extended period of time, it may generate a temporary afterimage (phosphor burn-in). (However, such images can be removed by displaying normal video for a while.)

• The response speed and brightness of liquid crystal vary with ambient temperatures.

• Let authorized service person handle installation. Be sure to consult with the service person about the installation. Make sure that the wall is strong enough to endure the weight of this unit including the mount fittings. If not strong enough, it may fall off resulting in injury.

• Do not install the unit in a place exposed to direct sunlight, as it may damage the cabinet and the LCD screen.

• Do not install the unit in locations where enough space cannot be provided around it as heat may build up inside preventing normal operation. Be sure to provide enough space around the unit.

• Exposing the LCD screen to intense light sources will impair its characteristics and lower image quality.

• In an environment exposed to drastic temperature fluctuations, condensation may build up on and inside the LCD screen. This may lower the quality of the screen and may damage it.

IN : This is the YPBPR/RGB signal input terminal. OUT : This is the input signal through-out terminal.

SYNC/HD, VD terminal (BNC)

IN : This is the input terminal for external synchronizing SYNC/HD, VD signals. OUT : This is the input signal through-out terminal.

• When using RGB signals from a PC, connect the horizontal synchronizing signal to the SYNC/HD terminal,

and the vertical synchronizing signal to the VD terminal.

*1 Use double-sealed type cables for connecting to SDI input/output terminals. *2 When inputting 3D image signals, ensure that left and right signals are input into the correct terminal. *3 Use a DVI cable with a ferrite core. *4 Unless a cable is connected to the OUT terminal, the IN terminal is automatically terminated at 75 Ω.

Since a connection to the OUT terminal releases the 75 Ω termination of the unit, the level of the VIDEO signal input to the unit may become too large depending on the connected device.

*5 When a device is connected to the OUT terminal, 1080p and PC input and other broadband signals may distort character

outlines and other details.

*6 Unless a cable is connected to the OUT terminal, the IN terminal is automatically terminated at 1 kΩ. Making a connection to

the OUT terminal will automatically release the 1 kΩ termination.
