TIPS

• Using this monitor’s screen-size switching or dual-screen display functions to compress or expand the screen for commercial or public viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as protected by Copyright Law, so please be careful.

• When “Enlarge” is set, the screen size is xed to “WIDE” mode.

• When dual-screen display is selected, the screen size cannot be changed.

• When using the screen-size switching 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 (e.g. TV broadcast or video input from external equipment). Please consider this point when selecting the screen size.

• When an 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

intentions, set the screen size to “NORMAL”.

• When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) may be cropped. In this case select the optimal screen size using the screen-size switching function of this monitor. 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 (e.g. CinemaScope size), black bands may remain at the top and bottom of the screen.

TIPS

• AV input signals (COMPONENT/VIDEO) cannot be used for the Enlarge function.

• To integrate 9 or more monitors using ANALOG signals, a splitter for the video signal (commercially available) is

required.

• To use signals other than ANALOG signals, a splitter for the video signal (commercially available) is required.

• When Enlarge is used, the SCREEN MOTION function is disabled.

For the monitor in vertical orientation

SCREEN MOTION function

• When SCREEN MOTION is set to ON, the screen image is moved vertically and horizontally to reduce the residual image on the screen.

When the time specied in MOTION TIME 1 elapses, the screen image is moved vertically and

horizontally for a certain period of time at the interval specied in MOTION TIME 2. After the movement stops and the time specied in MOTION TIME 1 elapses again, SCREEN MOTION

activates again.

• While the screen image is moving, the edges of the screen may be hidden.

Adjustments for PC screen display (ANALOG)

When you use the PC analog RGB input terminal to display a PC screen for the rst time, or when you

change the setting of the PC, you need to perform the automatic adjustment from the ADJUSTMENT menu. (See page 28.) Before making adjustments in the ADJUSTMENT menu or GAIN CONTROL menu, display an image to brighten the entire screen.

If you are using a Windows PC, use the adjustment pattern on the supplied CD-ROM.

Retrieving the adjustment pattern

ENGLISH

The adjustment pattern will appear. Adjust the screen automatically or manually.

5. When adjustment is nished, press the [Esc] on the computer’s keyboard to quit the adjustment

program.

6. Eject the CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive.

TIPS

• If the display mode on the computer you are using is 65,000 colors, the color levels in the color pattern may

appear differently or grayscale may appear to be colored. (This is due to the specications of the input signal and

is not a malfunction.)

When a command is sent from the PC to the monitor, the monitor operates according to the received command and sends a response message to the PC.

Example: VOLM0030

VOLM 30 (“ ” indicates a space.)

* Be sure to input 4 characters for the parameter. Pad with spaces if necessary.

Wrong: VOLM30 Right: VOLM 30 (“ ” indicates a space. “ ” is the return code (0DH, 0AH or 0DH).)

When inputting a negative value, specify a numerical value in three digits.

Example: AUTR-009

ENGLISH

To use the six-digit command (MPOS), use a six-digit numerical value without spaces in between.

Example: MPOS010097

If a command has “R” listed for “DIRECTION” in the “RS-232C command table” on page 44, the current value can be returned by using “?” as the parameter.

Example: 1. If an ID number has not been set:

VOLM???? ← From PC to monitor (How much is current volume setting?) 30 ← From monitor to PC (Current volume setting: 30)

2. If an ID number has been assigned (For example, ID number = 1) VOLM ? ← From PC to monitor (“ ” indicates a space.) 30 001 ← From monitor to PC (“ ” indicates a space.)

This is returned when execution of the command is nished.

* This is returned when there is no such command, or

when the command cannot be used in the current

state of the monitor .

* If communication has not been established for

reasons such as a bad connection between the PC

and monitor, nothing is returned (not even ERR).

With some commands, “WAIT” is returned as a 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 the

operation lock (see page 34), LOCKED is returned as the returned value.

Controlling the Monitor with a PC

PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

PC ID number: 3 ID number: 2 ID number: 4 ID number: 1

(Continued)

Advanced operation

This section explains commands for daisy chain connection. The basic communication procedure is the same as in the “Basic operation” section.

You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 30). This allows you to control a particular

monitor in a daisy chain of monitors. Up to 25 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 (using the remote control) or from the PC using RS-232C cable.

[Example]

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.

ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order starting from the PC. They can also be

connected as shown below.

[Example]

PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

PC Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4

PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4

The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID number set up.

IDST......A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter eld.

Example: IDST0001

OK 001 ← The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.

Note

After linking monitors, you can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with

the Repeater control (see “Repeater control” on page 41).

ENGLISH

[Example]

If you connect monitors as shown above, and use the command “IDST001+”, ID numbers will be set automatically, as shown below.

[Example]

IDST001+ ← ID setting command with repeater control

WAIT OK 001 ← “OK” response from ID number: 1

OK 002 ← “OK” response from ID number: 2 OK 003 ← “OK” response from ID number: 3 OK 004 ← “OK” response from ID number: 4 (End)

Controlling the Monitor with a PC

IDSL .......The parameter of this command sets the ID number of the monitor.

The monitor is subject to the next command.

Example:

IDSL0002 ← The next command is for the monitor with ID number: 2. WAIT ← Searching for monitor with ID number: 2 OK 002 ← Found monitor with ID number: 2 VOLM0030 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number:

WAIT ← Processing OK 002 ← OK response from monitor with ID number: 2 VOLM0020 ← Sets volume to 20.

OK 001 ← The volume of the monitor with ID number=1 (the one directly connected to the PC) is set to 20.

IDLK .......The parameter of this command sets the ID number of the monitor.

The monitor is subject to all subsequent commands.

Example:

IDLK0002 ← Following commands are for the monitor with ID number: 2. WAIT ← Searching for monitor with ID number: 2 OK 002 ← Found monitor with ID number: 2 VOLM0030 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number: 2 to 30. WAIT ← Processing

OK 002

VOLM0020 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number: 2 to 20.

WAIT OK 002

IDLK0000 ← Canceling xed ID number setting WAIT ← Canceling IDLK

OK 002 ← Cancelation complete VOLM0010 OK 001 ← The volume of the monitor with ID number=1 (the one directly connected to the PC) is set to 10. (IDLK is canceled.)

2 to 30.

The IDSL command is effective only once, for the immediately succeeding command.

(Continued)

The IDLK command remains effective until it is canceled, or

power is shut off.

IDCK ......Provides screen display of the ID number currently assigned to a monitor, and the ID

number currently set for IDLK (if any).

Example:

(After executing IDLK0002)

IDCK0000 ← (Parameter has no meaning.) ID:001 IDLK:002 ← Returned response. The ID number is also displayed on the monitor screen. IDCK000+ ← Repeater control

(If a command is used with repeater control, ID designation using IDSL or

IDLK is canceled.) WAIT ID:001 IDLK:002 ID:002 IDLK:002 ID:003 IDLK:002 ID:004 IDLK:002

PC Set 1 Set 2 Set 3 Set 4

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. The number of connectable monitors varies depending on the length of the cable used and the surrounding environment.

You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.

[Example]

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input

settings to DVI: DIGITAL”.

Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.

Example:

VOLM030+ ← Sets volume of all monitors to 30.

ENGLISH

In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors.

If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specic set, assign ID numbers to

each monitor in advance. When some monitors do not return their responses, the probable cause is that the monitors could not

receive the command or command processing is not complete. Do not send a new command.

Example:

(When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers: 1 through 4) VOLM030+ WAIT OK 001 OK 002 OK 003 OK 004 ← If 4 monitors are connected in a chain, reliable operation can be ensured by sending

a new command only after a reply has been returned by 4th (last) monitor.

Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.

Example:

VOLM???+ WAIT 10 20 30 30

001 002 003 004

Volume settings for all monitors are returned.

TIPS

• If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL, IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

Troubleshooting

There is no picture or sound.

Remote control does not work.

Sound from left and right speakers is reversed. Sound is heard from only one side.

There is a picture but no sound.

Faint color or bad hue.

• Is the power cord disconnected?

• Is the main power switch set to “OFF (O)”?

• Is the monitor in standby mode (the power LED illuminating in orange)?

• Make sure correct input mode is selected.

• If any external equipment is connected, make sure the equipment is operating (playing back).

• Are the batteries inserted with polarity ( , ) aligned?

• Are the batteries worn out?

• Point the remote control unit toward the monitor’s remote control sensor.

• Is the menu display hidden or are settings locked?

• Are audio cables connected properly?

• Make sure audio cables for external speakers are connected properly: left and right cables may be reversed or one of the two cables may not be connected.

• Check the setting of BALANCE for AUDIO.

• Is the sound muted?

• Make sure the volume is not set to minimum.

• Is the PC audio cable (commercially available) connected?

• Are audio cables connected properly?

• Is the audio signal input properly to the audio input terminal corresponding to the selected video input terminal?

• Check “COLORS” and “TINT” adjustments.

• Make sure the connection sequence is correct.

• The signal may be incompatible.

•

Try the automatic screen adjustment when the PC

analog RGB input terminal is used.

• Fan has a problem.

Turn off the monitor and request repair from your

SHARP dealer.

• When the internal temperature of the monitor rises excessively, the brightness of the backlight decreases in order to prevent high-temperature-related problems. Remove the cause of the excessive rise in temperature.

Troubleshooting

Warning when temperature rises

• When the internal temperature of the monitor rises excessively, the brightness of the backlight decreases automatically in order to prevent high-temperature-related problems.

When this occurs, “TEMPERATURE” is displayed on the screen and the Power LED ashes red and

green alternately.

• If the internal temperature rises further, the monitor automatically enters standby mode. (The Power LED continues ashing red and green alternately.)

Solution:

• If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in temperature, you can reset the monitor to normal

operation by turning it on again using the POWER button on the remote control unit or the power switch on the front panel. The monitor, however, 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 monitor are blocked.

• Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates inside the monitor or around the vents.

Remove dust if possible. Ask Sharp dealer about removing internal dust.

Cracking sound

(Continued)

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.

DDC (plug and play)

The monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard.

DDC is a signal standard for plug and play between monitors and computers. Information about resolution and other parameters is exchanged between the two. This function can be used if the computer supports DDC and it has been congured to detect plug-and-play monitors.

There are several types of DDC, depending on the communication method used. This monitor supports DDC2B.

Compatible signal timing (PC)

*1 Displays a reduced image.

* All are compliant only with non-interlaced.

* Depending on the connected PC, images may not be displayed properly even if the compatible signal described

above is input.

* The frequency values for the Sun Ultra Series are reference values. A separate conversion adapter (commercially

available) may be required for connecting the monitor to the Sun Ultra Series.
