SAFETY CHECK-OUT
(US Model only)
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder
splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
“pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps,
and mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely
certain that you have replaced all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point
them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious
signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and
recommend their replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend
the replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are specified values.
Make sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of
your HV meter if sets always have low HV.
8. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized”
knobs, screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC
Leakage. Check leakage as described below.
To Exposed Metal
Parts on Set
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate lowvoltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are
examples of a passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all
battery operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC
range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

POWER SAVING FUNCTION
6557-03N/03S/43N/43S
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by
VESA and Energy Star, as well as the more stringent
NUTEK .
If the monitor is connected to a computer or video
graphics board that is VESA DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will
automatically reduce power consumption in three stages
as shown below.
You can set the delay time before the monitor enters the
power saving mode using the OSD. Set the time according
to “Setting the power saving delay time” on page 15.

Getting Started
Warning on power connection
• Use an appropriate power cord for your local power
supply.
Examples of plug types
• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30
seconds after turning off the power to allow the static
electricity on the CRT display surface to discharge.
• After the power has been turned on, the CRT is
demagnetized (degaussed) for about 3 seconds. This
generates a strong magnetic field around the metal frame,
which may affect the data stored on magnetic tapes and
disks near the bezel. Place magnetic recording equipment,
tapes and disks away from this monitor.
The outlet should be installed near the equipment
and be easily accessible.
Precautions
Installation
• Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air
circulation. Do not place the monitor on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the monitor near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not place the monitor near equipment which generates
magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power
lines.
Maintenance
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with
sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or
screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched
picture tube.
Transportation
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use
the original carton and packing materials.
Use of the Tilt-Swivel
With the tilt-swivel, this monitor can be adjusted to the
desired angle within 180° horizontally and 20° vertically.

Technical Features
Power Saving Function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by
VESA and Energy Star, as well as the more stringent
NUTEK .
If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics
board that is VESA DPMS (Display Power Management
Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce
power consumption in three stages as shown below.

You can set the delay time before the monitor enters the
power saving mode using the OSD. Set the time according
to “Setting the power saving delay time” on page 13.
Note
If no video signal is input to the monitor, the “NO INPUT
SIGNAL” message (page 16) appears. After the delay time has
passed, the power saving function automatically puts the monitor
into the active-off mode and the u indicator lights up orange. Once
the horizontal and vertical sync signals are detected, the monitor
automatically resumes its normal operation mode.
Damper Wires
When viewing a white background, very thin horizontal
lines may be visible on the screen as shown below. These
lines are the shadows of the damper wires and are
characteristic of CRTs that use aperture grilles. The wires
are attached to the aperture grille on the inside of the
Trinitron tube and prevent the vibration of the aperture
grille.
Damper wires
Plug & Play
This monitor complies with the DDC1, DDC2B, DDC2AB
and DDC2B+ Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of
VESA.
When a DDC1 host system is connected, the monitor
synchronizes with the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA
standards and outputs the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) to the data line.
When a DDC2B, DDC2AB or DDC2B+ host system is
connected, the monitor automatically switches to the
appropriate standard.
DDC is a trademark of the Video Electronics Standard
Association.
If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the
following messages appears.
Additional Information
1 The input signal condition
“OUT OF SCAN RANGE” indicates that the input signal
is not supported by the monitor’s specifications.
“NO INPUT SIGNAL” indicates that no signal is input, or
the input signal from the selected input connector is not
received.
2 The selected input connector
Indicates which input connector is receiving the wrong
signal. If there is something wrong with the signal from
both input connectors, “1” (HD15) and “2” (13W3) are
displayed alternately.
To solve these problems, see “Troubleshooting” below.

This section may help you isolate the cause of a problem and as a result, eliminate the need to contact technical support.

• Check that the power cord is properly connected.
• Check that the u (power) switch is in the “on” position.
• The screen is blank when the monitor is in power saving mode. Try pressing any key on the
computer keyboard.
• Check that your computer power switch is in the “on” position.
• Check that the input select setting is correct.
• Check that the video signal cable is properly connected and all plugs are firmly seated in
their sockets.
• Ensure that no pins are bent or pushed in the HD15 or 13W3 video input connector.
• Check that the video board is completely seated in the proper bus slot.
• Check that the video frequency range is within that specified for the monitor.
(Horizontal: 30 – 94 kHz, Vertical: 50 – 160 Hz)
Refer to your computer‘s instruction manual to adjust the video frequency range.
• If you are using a video signal cable adapter, check that it is correct.
• See “Self-diagnosis Function” (page 18).
• Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.
• Check this manual and confirm that the graphics mode and the frequency you are trying to
operate at is supported. Even if the frequency is within the proper range, some video
boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.
• Degauss the monitor (page 12).
If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a loudspeaker, near the
monitor, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity.
The degauss function demagnetizes the metal frame of the CRT to obtain a neutral field for
uniform color reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval
of 20 minutes for the best result.

If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a loudspeaker, near the
monitor, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity.
The degauss function demagnetizes the metal frame of the CRT to obtain a neutral field for
uniform color reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval
of 20 minutes for the best result.
• If red or blue shadows appear along the edges of images, adjust the convergence
(pages 10 – 11).
• If the moire is cancelled, the picture may become fuzzy. Decrease the moire cancellation
effect (pages 10 – 11).
• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields. Common causes
for this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent lighting or laser printers.
• If you have another monitor close to this monitor, increase the distance between them to
reduce the interference.
• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
• Try the monitor on a different computer in a different room.
• Set the refresh rate on the computer to obtain the best possible picture by referring to the
computer’s manual.
• Eliminate the use of video cable extensions and/or video switch boxes if this symptom
occurs. Excessive cable length or a weak connection can produce this symptom.
• Cancel the moire (pages 10 – 11).
The moire may be modified depending on the connected computer.
• Due to the relationship between resolution, monitor dot pitch and the pitch of some image
patterns, certain screen backgrounds sometimes show moire. Change your desktop pattern.
• These wires stabilize the vertically striped aperture grille (page 15). This aperture grille
allows more light to pass through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color and
brightness.
• When the power is turned on, the auto-degauss cycle is activated. While the auto-degauss
cycle is activated (3 seconds), a hum may be heard. The same hum is heard when the
monitor is manually degaussed. This is not a malfunction.
