This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C., 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

Warnings and Safety Precautions

The monitor is designed and manufactured to provide long, trouble-free service. No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol or thinner to clean the panel surface.

The display panel consists of fine picture elements (cells). Although the display panels are produced with more than

99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.

For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read carefully and observe the following instructions.

To avoid shock and fire hazards:

1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heat build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install in a closed cabinet or shelves.

The unit is equipped with cooling fans. If you install the unit in an enclosure, be sure there is adequate space at the top of the unit to allow hot air to rise and escape.

If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be activated and the monitor will be turned off. If this happens, turn off the power to the monitor and un-plug the power cord. If the room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the monitor to a cooler location, and wait for the monitor to cool for 60 minutes.

If the problem persists, contact your dealer for service.

2. Do not use the power cord plug with extension cords or outlets unless all prongs can be completely inserted.

3. Do not expose unit to water or moisture.

4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to modify the power cord.

5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not be used over a long period.

IMPORTANT TIPS: Caring for Your Monitor

To avoid damage and prolong operating life:

1. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts AC will shorten the life of the unit, and might cause a fire hazard.

2. Handle the unit carefully when installing it.

3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.

4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In case of accident, unplug the unit and have it serviced by an authorized service center.

5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the surface of the screen.

6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended to use a trained, authorized dealer.

7. Like all phosphor-based display devices, monitors can be susceptible to uneven phosphor aging under certain circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the continuous display of a static image over a prolonged period of time, can result in uneven phosphor aging if proper precautions are not taken. To protect your investment in this monitor, please adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations for minimizing the occurrence of uneven phosphor aging:

• Always enable and use your computer’s screen saver function during use with a computer input source.

• Display a moving image whenever possible.

• Always power down the monitor when you are finished using it.

• If viewing with a 4/3 aspect ratio for long periods of time, set side gray level at 3 or 4.

6. Do not open the unit which has potentially dangerous high voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged from opening the cabinet the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.

7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. Tmm is not liable for any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open the back cover. Refer all service to authorized Service Centers.

If the monitor is in long term use or continuous operation take the following measures to reduce the likelihood of uneven phosphor aging:

• Lower the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST levels as much as possible without impairing image readability.

• Display an image with many colors and color gradations (i.e. photographic or photo-realistic images).

• Create image content with minimal contrast between light and dark areas (for example, white characters on black backgrounds). Use complementary or pastel color whenever possible.

• Avoid displaying images with few colors and distinct, sharply defined borders between colors.

The Screen Menu

The SCREEN menu allows you to set the monitor to automatically select the correct mode for viewing a particular movie and to change the positions of on-screen menus.

Selecting a Viewing Size

When viewing with a component other than your HD receiver*, you can set the screen mode to one of four screen sizes to suit the type of input you are watching. Select the screen mode with the CINEMA button on the remote control. The screen sizes are as follows:

FILL expands in both vertical and horizontal directions while the correct

Fill

proportions are maintained. The picture is not distorted, just closer.

NORMAL displays a picture with a 4:3 aspect ratio (standard video). Because this mode fills the screen vertically, but not horizontally, black bars will appear on the right and left sides of the picture.

Note: If viewing with a 4:3 aspect ratio for long periods of time,

set side gray level at 3 or 4.

FULL expands the picture in the horizontal direction only. This option

corrects the aspect ratio of images that have been compressed or horizontally “squeezed.”

Normal

Full

Stadium

STADIUM expands in both the horizontal and vertical directions, but varies the amount of stretch depending on the picture – the center of the picture is almost normal while the edges are considerably expanded. This mode is intended for watching video with a 4:3 aspect ratio on a wide screen.

Note: In Stadium mode, only the V-position and H-position are

displayed. You can’t change the height and width.

To change the viewing size:

1. Press the CINEMA button on the remote control.

2. The current viewing size will be displayed. Press the CINEMA button again to switch to the next size. The size switches as follows:

*Note: When viewing with an HD receiver, use the receiver’s screen format selections to set the proper ratio.

Connecting Your PC Or Macintosh Computer

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your Cinema Screen monitor will enable you to display computer images on the monitor. The Cinema Screen monitor supports the signals described on page 48.

To connect to a PC, Macintosh or compatible graphics adapter:

1. Turn off the power to your monitor and computer.

2. If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computer’s owner’s manual for your SXGA/ XGA/ SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation instructions.

3. The Cinema Screen monitor provides signal compatibility with VESA 128021024@60MHz (SXGA). However, we recommend not using this resolution due to image readability on the monitor’s 853 X 480 native pixel resolution panel.

4. Use the signal cable that’s supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the Cinema Screen monitor. For Macintosh, you will need a monitor adapter (not supplied) to connect to your computer’s video port.

5. Turn on the monitor and the computer.

6. If the Cinema Screen monitor goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you’ve connected to the monitor.

When using a Macintosh with the Cinema Screen monitor, the following three display standards are supported using the included Macintosh adapter : 13" fixed mode, 16" fixed mode, and 19" fixed mode. The 13" fixed mode is recommended for the Cinema Screen monitor.
