source that may cause problems with an antistatic
mat, and re-connect the wired LAN.

In rare cases, the LAN connection is disabled due

•

to static electricity or noise. In that case, turn off the
power of the Display and the connected devices once
and then re-turn on the power.

The Display may not work properly due to strong
radio wave from the broadcast station or the radio.

If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs

•

strong radio wave, near the installation location, set
up the Display at a location sufficiently far from the
source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable
connected to the LAN terminal by using a piece of
metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at
both ends.

Cleaning and maintenance

The front of the liquid crystal panel has been
specially treated. Wipe the surface of the liquid
crystal panel gently using only a cleaning cloth or a
soft, lint-free cloth.

If the surface is particularly dirty, wipe with a soft,

•

lint-free cloth which has been soaked in pure water or
water in which neutral detergent has been diluted 100
times, and then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the
same type until the surface is dry.

Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with

•

fingernails or other hard objects, otherwise the
surface may become damaged. Furthermore, avoid
contact with volatile substances such as insect
sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of
the surface may be adversely affected.

If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry
cloth.

If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in

•

water to which a small amount of neutral detergent
has been added and then wring the cloth dry. Use this
cloth to wipe the cabinet, and then wipe it dry with a
dry cloth.

Do not allow any detergent to come into direct contact

•

with the surface of the Display. If water droplets get
inside the unit, operating problems may result.

Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect

•

sprays, solvents and thinner, otherwise the quality of
the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the
coating may peel off. Furthermore, do not leave it for
long periods in contact with articles made from rubber

Before connecting

●

Before connecting cables, carefully read the operating
instructions for the external device to be connected.

●

Turn off the power of all devices before connecting
cables.

●

Take note of the following points before connecting
the cables. Failure to do so may result in
malfunctions.

When connecting a cable to the unit or a device

•

connected to the unit itself, touch any nearby
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from
your body before performing work.

Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect

•

a device to the unit or to the unit body. The
longer the cable, the more susceptible to noise it
becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound
makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible
to noise.

When connecting cables, connect GND first, then

•

insert the connecting terminal of the connecting
device in a straight manner.

●

Acquire any cable necessary to connect the external
device to the system that is neither supplied with the
device nor available as an option.

●

If the outer shape of the plug of a connection cable is
large, it may come in contact with the periphery such
as a back cover or the plug of an adjacent connection
cable. Use a connection cable with the suitable plug
size for the terminal alignment.

●

When connecting the LAN cable with plug cover, be
aware that the cover may come in contact with the
back cover and it may be difficult to disconnect.

●

If video signals from video equipment contain too
much jitter, the images on the screen may wobble.
In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be
connected.

●

When the sync signals output from PC or video
equipment are disturbed, for example, when changing
settings of video output, the colour of the video may
be disturbed temporarily.

●

The unit accepts Composite video signals, YC
YPBPR signals (PC IN), analogue RGB signals (PC
IN) and digital signals.

●

Some PC models are not compatible with the unit.

●

Use cable compensator when you connect devices to
the unit using long cables. Otherwise the image may
not display properly.
