TIPS

• Using this monitor’s screen-size switching 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.

• 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).

• When a 4:3 image 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 of the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.

• Depending on the original image size, black bands may remain at the edges of the screen.

POWER SAVE MODE

When OFF is selected, startup time from standby mode is reduced. Note, however that, more power will be consumed in standby mode. When ON is selected, current consumption is reduced while the monitor is in standby mode. Note, however, that the startup time from standby mode becomes longer. If set to ON, RS-232C commands cannot be used in standby mode and control via LAN is disabled. (See pages 35, 42.) When set to ON, the monitor enters power standby mode rather than input signal standby mode when there is no input signal, and therefore the monitor does not wake up when a signal is input. (See page 18.)

OFF IF NO OPERATION

Determines whether or not to set the monitor to go into standby mode when there is no operation from the remote control unit, RS-232C commands, or LAN for more than the set time.

POWER ON DELAY

You can delay the screen display after the monitor is turned on. The period can be set up to 60 seconds in units of 1 second.

When this function is activated, the power LED ashes rapidly (at approx. 1 second interval) in green.

AUTO INPUT CHANGE

Specify whether to change inputs automatically. When ON is selected and no signal is present in the selected input mode, AUTO INPUT CHANGE automatically changes the selected mode to another mode where a video signal is present.

When video signals exist in multiple input modes, the switching priority is as follows: Media Player (when a USB ash drive or SD memory card is connected), DVI-D, HDMI, D-SUB

(Input mode switching may take 15 seconds or more, depending on the connected equipment. When there are no signals at any of the input terminals, switching is continued until an input signal is detected and the monitor does not enter input signal waiting mode.)

monitor, nothing is returned (not even ERR).

• “ERR” may be returned when a command cannot be received correctly due to interference from the surrounding

environment.

Please ensure that the system or software retries the

command if this occurs.

• If no monitor has been assigned the designated ID number (e.g. if the command IDSL0002 with ID number: 2 is found), no response is returned.

To set a timeout for the command response, specify 10

seconds or longer.

When connecting multiple monitors in a daisy chain, set the

timeout to at least the product of the monitor’s position from

the computer multiplied by 10 seconds. Example) 3rd monitor from computer: 30 seconds or longer.

• Provide an interval of 100 ms or more between the

command response and the transmission of the next command.

TIPS

• When turning the power on while the POWER ON DELAY

function is in use, set the timeout period to the POWER ON

DELAY period + 10 seconds or longer.

Advanced operation

This section explains commands for daisy chain connection.

The basic communication procedure is the same as in the

“One-to-one connection with a computer” section.

ID SETTING

You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 29). This allows you to control a particular monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.

You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen or from the computer using RS-232 cable.

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

When the following commands are used, “WAIT” is returned. In this case, a value will be returned if you wait a while. Do not send any command during this period.

No ID number is attached to WAIT response.

• Commands which return WAIT:

1. When repeater control is used

2. When an IDSL or IDLK command is used

3. When one of the following commands is used: INPS,

ASNC, POWR

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like “Set the volume of the monitor with ID 4 to 20”.

When designating ID numbers for a set of monitors linked in a daisy chain, you should basically avoid any duplication of ID

numbers. ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order

starting from the computer. They can also be connected as shown below.

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

Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C)

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

[Example]

Commands for ID control

The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID SETTING.

IDST ......... A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID

number in the parameter eld.

Example:

IDST0001

The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.

TIPS

001 ←

You can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with the Repeater control (see “Repeater control”

on page 38).

For example, using the command “IDST001+” automatically sets the ID numbers, as shown below.

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

IDLK ........

The parameter of this command sets the ID

number of the monitor. The monitor is subject to all subsequent commands.

Example:

IDLK0002 ←

WAIT ←

OK 002 ←

VOLM0030 ←

WAIT ←

The next command is for the monitor

with ID number: 2.

Searching for monitor with ID number:

Found monitor with ID number: 2

* The IDLK command remains effective until it is

canceled, or power is shut off.

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

of the monitor. The monitor is subject to the next

command.

Example:

IDSL0002 ←

WAIT ←

OK 002 ←

VOLM0030 ←

WAIT ←

OK 002 ←

VOLM0020 ←

OK 001 ←

The next command is for the monitor

with ID number: 2.

Searching for monitor with ID number:

Found monitor with ID number: 2

Sets volume of monitor with ID number: 2 to 30.

Processing

OK response from monitor with ID

number: 2

Sets volume to 20.

The volume of the monitor with ID number: 1 (the one directly connected to the computer) is set to 20.*

* The IDSL command is effective only once, for the

immediately succeeding command.

Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C)

[Example]

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. You can use Repeater

control function without assigning ID numbers.

Set 1

* If monitors are connected as shown above, you can

execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input settings to D-SUB[RGB]”.

Repeater control command

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

Example:

VOLM030 + ←

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

001

002

003

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.

et 4

Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.

Example:

VOLM ? ? ? +

WAIT

001

002

003

TIPS

• If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL,

IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

Volume settings for all monitors are returned.

Troubleshooting

INPUT

If you are experiencing any problem with your display, before calling for service, please review the following troubleshooting

tips.

There is no picture or sound.

• Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 14.)

• Is the main power switch off? (See page 18.)

• Is the monitor in standby mode (the power LED illuminating in orange)? (See page 18.)

• Make sure correct input mode is selected. (See page 20.)

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

Remote control does not work.

• Are the batteries inserted with polarity (+,-) aligned? (See page 17.)

• Are the batteries exhausted?

• Point the remote control unit toward the monitor’s remote control sensor. (See page 17.)

• Is operation disabled? (See page 30.)

Sound from left and right speakers is reversed.

• Are audio cables connected properly?

There is a picture but no sound.

• Is the sound muted?

• Make sure the volume is not set to minimum.

• Are audio cables connected properly?

• Is the cable correctly connected to the PC audio input

terminal or AV audio input terminal as appropriate for the

input mode? (See page 13.)

• Is AUDIO OUTPUT or SPEAKER correctly set on the SETUP menu? (See page 29.)

Unstable video.

• The signal may be incompatible.

The video from the HDMI input terminal does not appear

properly.

• Is the HDMI cable HDMI standard compliant? The monitor will not work with cables that are not standard compliant.

• Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See page

49.)

• If an AV signal such as 1920 x 1080i, 720(1440) x 576i, or 720 (1440) x 480i is displayed using the HDMI[PC] input, display problems such as faint colors may occur. Display using HDMI[AV].

The video from the DVI-D input terminal does not appear

properly.

• Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See page

49.)

• Turn off the power to the connected equipment and then turn the power on again.

• If the monitors are connected in a daisy chain, turn off the power to all the monitors connected in a daisy chain and then turn the power on again.

• If an AV signal such as 1920 x 1080i, 720(1440) x 576i, or 720 (1440) x 480i is displayed using the DVI-D input, display problems such as faint colors may occur. Display using HDMI[AV], D-SUB[COMPONENT] or D-SUB[VIDEO].

Control buttons do not work. There is no picture.

• Load noises from outside may be interfering with normal operation. Turn off the power and turn it on after waiting at least 5 seconds, and then check the operation.

The monitor makes a cracking sound.

• You may occasionally hear a 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.

Operation is not possible when a USB ash drive / SD

memory card is connected.

• Operation using the remote control or otherwise may not be possible if a USB ash drive and SD memory card are both connected. Switch off the main power switch, remove either device, and then switch on the main power switch.

It takes a longer time until the monitor starts up.

• When a USB ash drive or an SD memory card is connected, it is better to turn the power ON/OFF using the remote control unit. When the power is turned ON using the main power switch with a USB ash drive or an SD memory card connected, the monitor startup takes a longer time because the monitor checks USB terminal or SD card slot connection after checking other terminal connections.

A le in the USB ash drive or the SD memory card does

not play properly.

• Is the le in a supported format? (See page 26.) The following problems may occur if a non-supported

format is used:

- The le does not play properly.

- Pausing or Move forward/back cannot be performed during playback.

- Abnormal play speed

- Operations cannot be performed during playback

- Playback stops. The player application restarts.

• When using a USB ash drive, is the cable connected to the power supply terminal? (See page 10.)

• Are both a USB ash drive and SD memory card connected? These cannot be connected simultaneously.

The screen turns black when a le in a USB ash drive or

an SD memory card is played.

• The screen will turn black if none of the les in the play list are in the USB ash drive or the SD memory card. Press

to exit.

No power is supplied from the power supply terminal.

• Is the cable connected to the USB terminal? (See page

10.)

• Check the power specications (5V, 2A).

• If overcurrent occurs, a protective circuit will activate and stop the supply of power. Remove the connected device

and then eliminate the cause of the overcurrent.

The USB ash drive is not recognized.

• Did you connect an unsupported device such as a USB keyboard? Switch the main power switch off and on.

The video from D-Sub input terminal does not appear

properly.

•

Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See page 49.)

Unable to distribute from “Content Distributer”.

• Check the amount of free space in the medium (USB ash drive or SD memory card) to which you are copying.

• Are both a USB ash drive and SD memory card connected? These cannot be connected simultaneously.

The Power LED is ashing in red and green alternately.

• 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, 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.)

• Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.

- If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in

temperature, to return to normal display, turn the power switch off and then back on again. The monitor, however, will enter standby mode again if the cause of the

temperature rise is not eliminated. (See page 8.)

- 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.

- If the brightness of the backlight is lowered automatically,

set the brightness again. The brightness will not automatically return to the original setting even if the

temperature decreases.

- If the monitor automatically enters standby mode,

the power will not turn on automatically even if the temperature decreases. Turn on the power and set the

brightness again.
