In order to prevent any fatal accidents caused by misoperation
or mishandling the monitor, be fully aware of all the following
precautions.
WARNINGS
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this
monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerous high voltages
are present inside the unit. Do not remove the back
cover of the cabinet. When servicing the monitor,
consult qualified service personnel. Never try to service
it yourself.
WARNING : THIS APPARATUS
MUST BE EARTHED.
Improper operations, in particular alternation of high
voltage or changing the type of tube may result in x-ray
emission of considerable dose. A unit altered in such a
way no longer meets the standards of certification, and
must therefore no longer be operated.
䡵 PRECAUTIONS
● Use only the power source specified on the unit.
(230 V AC, 50 Hz/60 Hz)
● Keep flammable material, water, and metal objects away
from the unit – especially the interior of the unit.
● This unit incorporates high voltage circuitry.
For your own safety and that of your equipment, do not
attempt to modify or disassemble this monitor.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
● Video or audio signals cannot be input to this monitor
without optional input cards.
● In these instructions, all explanations (except where noted)
refer to the BT-H1700AE with input cards installed.
SCREEN BURN
● It is not recommended to keep a certain still image
displayed on screen for a long time as well as displaying
extremely bright images on screen. This may cause a
burning (sticking) phenomenon on the screen of cathode-ray
tube. This problem does not occur as far as displaying
normal video playback motion images.
䡵 HANDLING
● Avoid shocks or vibrations. These may damage the unit and
cause it to malfunction.
● Do not block the ventilation slots.
● Do not expose this unit to high temperatures.
Extended exposure to direct sunlight or a heater could
deform the cabinet or cause the performance of internal
components to deteriorate.
● Do not place the unit near appliances generating strong
electric or magnetic fields. They can generate picture noise
and instability.
● Keep the monitor clean by wiping the cabinet and CRT screen
with a piece of soft cloth. Do not apply thinner or benzine.
These chemicals can damage the finish and erase printed
letters. When the unit is excessively dirty, use a diluted neutral
cleanser, then wipe away the cleanser with a dry cloth.
DEGAUSS
● Do not use a magnet eraser to degauss the monitor’s
cathode ray tube from the outside. Doing so may distort its
aperture grill and cause a malfunction.

HOW TO USE EXTERNAL
CONTROL
䡵 ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL
The Multi-Format Monitor has two external control terminals.
One is the MAKE/TRIGGER terminal, which allows the monitor to be controlled by the MAKE(make contact) or TRG. (trigger
contact) method selected in the function setting.
MAKE (make contact system): Controls the function by stable disconnection (terminal open) or short-circuiting (short with GND of
TRG. (trigger system): Controls the function by instantaneously (one second) short-circuiting (short with GND of 15th
* MAKE or TRIGGER are selected from REMOTE SYSTEM in the setup menu.
* The 14th terminal (REMOTE ENABLE) is always controlled by the make contact system regardless of the REMOTE SYSTEM
setting.
The other terminal used for remote control is the RS-232C terminal. This allows the monitor to be controlled by a PC via serial
communication.
NOTE: Control priority is in the following order; 1 MAKE/TRIGGER terminal > 2 RS-232C terminal > 3 front panel buttons.
When trigger contact is on, the front panel buttons can be operated.
䡵 HOW TO USE THE MAKE/TRIGGER TERMINAL
Connections
Connect (short-circuit) the 15th terminal (GND) to each of the 1st through 14th terminals in the 3-line
15-pin D-sub connector. The functions of each terminal are listed below.

*1 : OFF stands for disconnection, and ON stands for short-circuit.
When trigger contact is on, the setting switches between ON and OFF every time the terminal is short-circuited.
(Only TALLY is controlled by being OFF(disconnection) and ON(short-circuit).)
*2 : Selects the area marker size from AREA MARKER (setting on the main unit) or AREA MARKER-R (setting on the remote control) setting.
*3 : The STATUS function is activated when the connection to the STATUS terminal is changed (ON to OFF, or OFF to ON). The monitor’s status is displayed for 3
seconds.
*4 : Setting REMOTE ENABLE to ON enables remote control. (same for both MAKE/TRIGGER methods.)
Operation
1. Set REMOTE ENABLE to ON.
2. Short-circuit or disconnect the desired terminal. (When trigger contact is on, duration of short-circuit is approx. 1 second.)
Changing the Signal Input
1. Set REMOTE ENABLE to ON.
2. Short-circuit the desired INPUT terminal. (When trigger contact is on, duration of short-circuit is approx. 1 second.)
3. Disconnect the INPUT terminal selected above. The signal input is actually changed after the disconnection has been
completed.
NOTES: • When more than two terminals are selected (short-circuited) from INPUT A through INPUT F, the signal input is not changed.
To control INPUT A through INPUT F, we recommend using the interlock switch, which turns off a switch when another switch is turned on.
• When trigger contact is on, and if several terminals are short-circuited simultaneously, proper control cannot be done. It is always
necessary to short-circuit one terminal for one operation. Also, use of the Tact Switch is recommended.

During Communication from the PC to the Monitor
The monitor receives the data when DSR remains ON (high) and CTS is set to ON.
During Communication from the Monitor to the PC
The monitor sends the data when both DSR and DCD are set to ON and RTS is set to ON.
Communication Procedures
The following is the communication procedures.
1. Starting the communication
Receives the connection command (!BCN1Cr) from the PC [ Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC
2. Performing the external control
Receives the control command (!XXXXCr) from the PC [ Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC
* The monitor repeats these receiving and sending if necessary.
3. Terminating the communication
Receives the termination command (!BCN0Cr) [ Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC
* After sending the data to the monitor, the PC must first receive the data from the monitor and then send the next command
because the communication is performed in a hand-shake system. If the PC does not receive the status from the monitor after
sending the command, re-send the command.

Is the monitor placed or moved close to
a speaker or any other device
incorporating a magnet?
Has the position of the monitor been
changed with the power on?
Has the picture position, size or
distortion been changed?
Have the UNDER SCAN or ASPECT
button been pressed?
Has the CONTROL LOCK function
been set to ON?
Has the monitor’s setting been
changed to enable control from an
external unit via the REMOTE
terminals?
Measures (Remedy)
Move the device away from the monitor.
Press the DEGAUSS button on the front panel to
degauss the screen.
When degaussing, wait more than 30 minutes for
maximum effect.
Adjust the picture size (H SIZE, V SIZE) or
position (H. POSITION, V. POSITION) in the
[SIZE/POSI. ADJ.] item in the <SETUP MENU>
screen.
Adjust the picture distortion (PINCUSHION, PIN.
BALANCE, TRAPEZOID and PARALLELOGRAM)
in the [DISTORTION ADJ.] item in the <SETUP
MENU> screen.
It may not be possible to expand the picture due
to the selected input mode. In this case,
adjustment is impossible.
When the UNDER SCAN or ASPECT button is
lit, press each button to invalidate each setting.
Set the CONTROL LOCK function to OFF.
Change the setting of the external control to
control the monitor locally.

The following are not malfunctions:
● When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is
displayed for a long period, it may appear to be coloured.
● You may see two horizontal lines on the monitor. They are
the shadows of the “damper lines” that are necessary for
composing the monitor. These lines are not a malfunction.
This is due to the structure of the cathode ray tube and will
disappear when another image is displayed.
● You may sometimes experience a mild electric shock when
you touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is due to a
normal buildup of static electricity on the CRT and is not
harmful.
● The monitor emits a strange sound when the room
temperature changes suddenly. This is only a problem if an
Damper line
abnormality appears on the screen as well.
● If two or more monitors are operated next to each other,
their images may shake or be distorted. This phenomenon
is due to mutual interference; it is not a malfunction. Move
the monitors away from each other until the interference
disappears or turn the power off on any monitor that is not
being used.
When black vertical lines appear on the screen
Black vertical lines may appear on the screen if the aperture grill is tilted as a result of being shaken or jolted during shipment.
In this case, try tapping the monitor on the side. If this does get rid of the lines, follow the procedure below.
1. Display a white screen, so that the problem area can be seen clearly.
2. Maximize contrast and brightness, then place a bright white rectangle on the area.
3. After a while, the lines should disappear.

INPUT SELECT
When the screen goes blank, and one or more of the INPUT SELECT A through F buttons on the front control panel start
blinking...
This monitor has a self-check function, which allows it to detect malfunctions and alert you. This makes trouble-shooting easier.
Whenever a problem occurs, a combination of “self-check indicators” (INPUT SELECT A through F buttons) will blink and the
monitor’s power automatically turns off. If this happens, follow the steps below and contact your dealer to resolve the problem.
1. Check which indicators are blinking.
2. Turn off the main power switch on the back of the monitor.
3. Disconnect the Power Cord from the AC outlet.
4. Contact your dealer with the information about which indicators are blinking.
NOTE:
● If you turn on the monitor’s power immediately after turning it off (or after a short-term power failure), the self-check indicators
may blink, and no image may be displayed.
When this happens, turn off the power, and wait at least 10 seconds before turning it on again. If the self-check indicators have
stopped blinking, you can use the monitor as usual.
