years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Safety Precautions
carefully before using this product.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage
if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety.
However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please
observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety
and prolong the service life of your LCD product, please read the following precautions carefully before using
the product.
1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.
2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place
for future reference.
3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.
5. Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to
clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result in accidents.
7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and
laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.
8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an
unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to
the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold
with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
9. When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care.
Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall
from the cart.
10. Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation.
Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause
overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed,
sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. Do not
place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
11. Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on
them or objects from resting on them.
12. The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is
dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD
panel breaks.
13. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric
shock.
14. Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High
voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts.
For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
15. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high
voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

Mounting
precautions
for mounting work. The customer should never perform any of this work himself or
herself. Our company will bear no responsibility for accidents or injuries caused by
improper mounting or handling.
Installing wall-mount bracket
1. Determine the location where the base bracket will be installed.
● Take a washer about the size of a coin with a string and align it perpendicular to the base bracket.
● Use a pencil, etc., to mark the two screw hole locations.
Special techniques are required to mount this monitor, so be sure to rely on a specialist
Cellophane tape, etc.

2. Loosely screw in the screws.
● Temporarily remove the base bracket from the wall and loosely screw in 2 off-the-shelf screws in the screw
hole positions marked on the wall. At this time, the screw heads should extend several millimeters above
the wall so that the base bracket can be hung on the screw heads.
● Hang the base bracket on the installed screws, check to make sure the bracket is not sagging to the left or
right, and then firmly tighten the screws. Use off-the-shelf screws to secure the remaining screw holes (14 to
18 screws).

If a command has “R” listed for “Direction” in the “RS-232C Command table” on page 46, the current value can be returned by using “?” as the parameter.
Example: 1If an ID number has not been set:

or when the command cannot be used in the
current state of the monitor (i.e. video auto-adjustment with video display).
* If there is a bad connection between the PC and
monitor, or if communication has not been established, nothing is returned (not even ERR).
If a command takes some time to execute, WAIT may
be returned as the return value. Wait for a moment, and
OK or ERR will be returned. New commands cannot be
received during this time, even if they are sent.
If RS-232C control has been locked with Control lock
(see page 54), LOCKED is returned as the returned
value.
PC Operation (Continued)
Advanced operation
■ This section explains commands for daisy chain connection. The basic communication procedure is
the same as in the “Basic operation” section.
<ID numbers>
You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 56). This allows you to control a
particular monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.
Up to about 20 monitors can be connected, depending on the length of RS-232C cables and
installation environment.
You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen (via remote control or the control buttons on
the monitor) or from the PC using RS-232C cable.
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like “Set the volume of the
monitor with ID 4 to 20”.
When controlling monitors linked in a daisy chain by designating ID numbers, you should basically
avoid any duplication of ID numbers.
If the same ID number is assigned to multiple monitors, only the monitor closest to the PC can be
controlled with that ID number.
If monitors are connected as shown below, only the monitor 1 can be accessed with ID number 2.
Monitor 2 cannot be controlled using that ID number.
IDST······A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter field.
Example:IDST0001
OK

Note
After linking monitors, you can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with
the Repeater control (see “Repeater control” on page 42).

<Repeater control>
This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a
single command. This function is called repeater control.
Up to about 20 monitors can be connected, depending on the length of RS-232C cables and
installation environment.
You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.
[Example]
PCSet 1Set 2Set 3Set 4
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like “Set all
monitors’ input settings to INPUT”.
<Repeater control command>
Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.
Example: VOLM030+← Sets volume of all monitors to 30.
In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors.*
If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specific set, assign ID numbers to
each monitor in advance.
If no response is returned, this may be because the monitor has not received (or is still processing) the command, so it is possible that new commands may not be executed even if they
are sent.
* If power is turned “OFF” using Repeater control, only the monitor closest to the PC returns a
response.
Example: (When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers 1 through 4)

Detailed explanation
Control lock
Overview
This monitor is equipped with a control lock function to prevent third parties from changing the
operating state. Locked functions cannot be used unless a PIN is input.
PINs can be freely set by the user.
The following types of operation can be locked.
»Menu Display
When locked, MENU buttons on the remote control and monitor are disabled.
»Remote Control
When enabled buttons on the remote control except STANDBY/ON are locked.
»Monitor Buttons
When enabled monitor buttons except STANDBY/ON are locked.
»Power
When locked, the STANDBY/ON button on the remote control and the monitor cannot perform
switching from the operating state to the standby state. It can however, perform switching from the
standby state to the operating state.
»RS-232C
When enabled operation using RS-232C is locked.
Lock state and temporary unlock (Except for RS-232C)
When some functions are locked, you will be prompted to enter PIN if you attempt to use the function. If
you enter the correct PIN, the locks on all locked functions are temporarily unlocked, so you can use the
functions.
Functions which have been temporarily unlocked are locked again under the following conditions.
• The monitor entered standby mode.• Main POWER was turned off.
• PIN was changed.• Lock Items were modified.
Even if functions are temporarily unlocked, the system will ask for a PIN if you try to enter “Control Lock”
from the “Setup” menu. This is to prevent the PIN from being modified while it is temporarily unlocked.
Permanent unlocking (Except for RS-232C)
1) Select “Control Lock” from “Setup” in the menu screen.
2) Select “PIN Clear”, then “Yes” and press ENTER.
Lock state and temporary unlock (RS-232C)
If RS-232C is locked and you sent an RS-232C command, LOCKED will come back as the returned
value.
Only the following commands will work in this state.
» PINPxxxx (“xxxx” is the current PIN.)
Temporarily unlocks the current lock.
Functions which have been temporarily unlocked are locked again under the following conditions.

» PCL+xxxx (“xxxx” is the current PIN.)
It reverts to the state where there is no PIN.
“+” indicates repeater control for the PCLR command.
Permanent Control lock deactivation (RS-232C)
When a single monitor is connected, use “PCLRxxxx” (“xxxx” is the current PIN.)
When multiple monitors are connected, use “PCLR+xxxx”.
If the “RS-232C” function is locked, the IDSL and IDLK commands cannot be used.
[Example: 1] Disabling remote control operations
1) From the menu screen, select “Control Lock” from “Setup”.
2) Go to “Lock Items”, then “Remote”, and select “Lock”.
Note: If you exit the menu at this point, the locking will not occur.
3) Go to PIN input, and enter a 4-digit PIN.
4) After PIN input, the set locks will become effective when you close the menu.
[Example: 2] Disabling remote control, monitor buttons and power operations
1) From the menu screen, select “Control Lock” from “Setup”.
2) Go to “Lock Items”, and set “Remote”, “Buttons” and “Power” to “Lock”.

Tips:
» When using the screen size selection function of this monitor, the appearance of the original video may change if
you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original image (i.e. TV broadcast or video input from
an external device). Please consider this point when selecting the screen size.
» Using this monitor’s screen size switching function to compress or expand the screen for commercial or public
viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of creators, as protected by Copyright
Law, so please be careful.
» When ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen size switching function of
this monitor, the edge of the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the creator’s intensions,
set the screen size to “Normal”.
» When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) image may be cropped. In this case select
the optimal screen size using “Wide Mode” and adjust the vertical position (see “Position” on page 55). With
some software, there may be noise or distortion at the edges or top of the screen. This is due to the
characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.
» Depending on the original image size (i.e. CinemaScope size), black bands may remain at the top and bottom of
the screen.
When operating from Menu screen:
1Press MENU and the MENU screen displays.

Troubleshooting (Continued)
■ Warning when temperature rises
Nature of warning:
∫ “Temperature” flashes at the lower right corner of the screen. The monitor automatically enters standby
mode if temperature continues to rise.
Solution:
∫ If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in temperature, you can turn on the power on again in
the usual way using the remote control or buttons on the monitor. However the monitor will enter standby
mode again if the cause of the temperature rise is not eliminated.
∫ Check whether the monitor is placed at a location where a quick rise in temperature is likely. Internal
temperature rises quickly if the vents on the back are blocked.
∫ Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates inside the monitor or around the vents. Remove
dust if possible. Ask your dealer about removing internal dust.
Cracking sound
The monitor sometimes makes a cracking sound.
» You may hear cracking sound from the monitor. This happens when the cabinet slightly
expands and contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the
monitor’s performance.
