This monitor complies with the DDC^“*1 and DDC2B which are the
Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of VESA.
When a DDCl 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 host system is connected, the monitor automatically
switches to the DDC2B communication.

DDC " is a trademark of the non-profit organization. Video Electronics
Standard Association.

Introduction

Precautions

Installation

• Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air circulation.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near
materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.

• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts,
nor in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical
vibration or shock.

• Do not place the unit near equipment which generates magnetism,
such as a converter or high voltage power lines.

Maintenance

• Clean the cabinet, glass 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, like a ball point pen or a screwdriver, as this type of
contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

Transportation

Do not discard the carton and packing materials. When transporting the
unit, use these packing materials so that the unit is properly packaged.

Precautions

Warning on Power Connection

• Use only the supplied power cord. If you do not, this monitor may not
conform to mandatory FCC standards.

• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after
turning off the power switch to discharge static electricity from the
CRT display surface.

• After the power has been turned on, the CRT is demagnetized for
approximately 5 seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field
around the bezel which may affect the data stored on magnetic tape or
disks near the bezel. Place such magnetic recording equipment and
tapes/disks at a distance from this unit.

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.

Power Saving Function

This monitor meets the power saving guidelines set by the International
ENERGY Star Program. It is capable of reduced power consumption
when used with a computer equipped with Display Power Management
Signaling (DPMS). By sensing the absence of the sync signal coming
from the computer, it will reduce the power consumption as follows;

%/ CAUTION

The Power Saving function will automatically put the monitor Into ActIve-off state if the
power switch is turned on without any video signal input. Once the horizontal and vertical
syncs are sensed, the monitor will automatically return to its Normal operation state.

Troubleshooting

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

No picture

If the Ci) indicator is not lit

-> Check that the power cord is properly connected.

-> Check that the (!) switch is in the "ON" position.

If the (!) indicator is flashing in orange

Check that your computer power switch is in the "ON" position.
The monitor may recover when you press any key on the keyboard of

the computer.
Check that the video cable is properly connected.

Ensure that no pins are bent or pushed in the HD15 connector of the
cable.
Check that the video card in your computer is seated completely in a

proper bus slot.

■> Check that the video sync signal is within that specified for the
monitor.

This monitor has a self-diagnostics function. To activate the function,
turn off the computer and the monitor. Press and hold the (!) switch
of the monitor for about 8 seconds. If the monitor is operating
correctly, the screen will become white first and then the color bars
will appear.

If the (!) indicator is flashing in red

Check that the video sync signal is specified for the monitor.

-> There is a potential monitor failure. Contact Sony Technical Support.

No sound from speaker

If the indicator is lit

■> Press the button to cancel muting.

Check that the audio plug is properly connected.
Adjust the volume with ^ -i-/- buttons.
Check that the headphones are not connected.
Check that the sound board of the computer is properly connected.
Check that the volume control, muting, sound selector, etc. of the

sound board. (See the computer's manual.)

Microphone mixing is not possible

-> Check that the MIC plug is properly connected.
Check that the sound board of the computer is properly connected.
Check that the microphone control, .sound selector, etc. of the sound

board. (See the computer's manual.)

22 Troubleshooting

Howling (feed-back) is heard

Decrease the volume with ^ buttons, or turn down the
microphone input volume of the sound board.

Picture is scrambled

-> Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting on
the monitor.

Check this manual and confirm that the graphic mode and the
frequency at which you are trying to operate is supported. Even
within the proper range, some video boards may have a sync pulse
that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.

Color is not uniform

-> Trip the (i) switch once to activate the Auto-degauss cycle*.

Screen image is not centered or sized properly

Adjust picture centering, size, or geometry (rotation/ pincushion) on
the OSD (pages 16,17).

■> Some video modes do not fill the screen to the edge of the monitor.
There is no single answer to solve the problem. There is a tendency for
this problem to occur on higher refresh timings.

Picture is fuzzy

-> Adjust the contrast and brightness on the OSD (pages 13,14). Some
brands of SVGA boards have an excessive video output level which
creates a fuzzy picture at maximum contrast.

Trip the cl) switch once to activate the Auto-degauss cycle*.

Picture bounces or has wavy oscillations

-> Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of elecfric or magnefic
fields. Common causes for this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent
lighting, laser printers, etc.

-> If you have another monitor close to this monitor, increase the
distance between them to reduce interference.

-> Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a

different circuit.

Picture appears to be ghosting

Eliminate the use of video extension cables and/or video switch boxes
if this symptom occurs. Excessive cable length or weak connections
can produce this symptom.

A fine horizontal line (wire) is visible

-> This wire stabilizes the vertically striped Aperture Grille. The
Aperture Grille allows more light to pass through to the screen giving
the Trinitron CRT more color and brightness.

Continued to the next pa;^e

Troubleshooting

23

Wavy or elliptical (moire) pattern is visible

-> Due to the relationship between resolution, monitor Aperture Grille
pitch and the pitch of some image patterns, certain screen
backgrounds, especially gray, sometimes show moire which looks like
wavy lines. This can only be eliminated by changing your desktop
pattern.

Hum is heard right after the power is turned on

When the power is turn on, the Auto-degauss cycle* is activated.
While the Auto-degauss cycle is activated, a hum may be heard. This
is not a malfunction.

• The Auto-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 the problem persists, call your authorized Sony dealer from a
location near you, or call Sony Technical Support at 1-800-326-9551.

• Note the model name and the serial number of your monitor. Also
note the make and name of your computer and video board.
