Hinweise
• Aus ergonomischen Gründen wird empfohlen, die
Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu verwenden
(schlechte Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu geringem
Zeichenkontrast).
• Aus ergonomischen Gründen (flimmern) sollten nur
Darstellungen bei Vertikalfrequenzen ab 70 Hz (ohne
Zeilensprung) verwendet werden.
• Die Konvergenz des Bildes kann sich auf Grund des
Magnetfeldes am Ort der Aufstellung aus der korrekten
Grundeinstellung verändern. Zur Korrektur empfiehlt es sich
deshalb, die Regler an der Frontseite für Konvergenz so
einzustellen, daß die getrennt sichtbaren Farblinien für Rot,
Grün und Blau bei z.B. der Darstellung eines Buchstabens
zur Deckung (Konvergenz) gelangen.
Siehe hierzu auch die Erklär ungen zu Konvergenz.

for 100 to 120 V AC
• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds
after turning off the power to allow the static electric ity on the
screen’s surface to discharge.
• After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized
(degaussed) for about 2 seconds. This generates a strong
magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored
on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to
keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away
from the monitor.
The equipment should be in stalled near an easily accessible
outlet.
for 200 to 240 V AC

• on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes
• near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight
• in a place subject to severe temperature changes
• in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock
• on an unstable surface
• near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a
transformer or high volta g e po w er lin es
• near or on an electrically charged metal surface
Maintenance
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning
liquid, do not use any typ e of cleaner containing an anti-stat ic
solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s
coating.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or
abrasive items suc h as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type
of contact may resu lt in a scratched picture tube.
• Clean the cabinet , pane l and co nt rols wi th a soft cloth ligh tly
moistened with a mild detergent soluti on . Do no t use any t ype
of abrasive pa d, sc ouring powder or solv ent, s uch as a lcohol o r

sRGB mode
The sRGB color setting is an industry standard color space
protocol designed to correlate the displayed and printed colors of
sRGB compliant computer products. To adjust the colors to the
sRGB profile, simply select the sRGB mode in the COLOR menu.
However, in order to display the sRGB colors correctly (γ=2.2,
6500K), you must set your computer to the sRGB profile and
adjust the brightness ( ) and contrast (6) to the numbers shown
in the menu. For information on how to change the brightness
( ) and cont rast (6), see page 9.
Note
Your computer and other connected products (such as a printer), must be
sRGB comp liant.

Technical Features
Preset and user modes
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of
the screen.
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes,
the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a
clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor’s
frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 109 kHz, vertical: 48 – 160 Hz).
If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user
mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal
is received.
Note for Windows users
For Windows users, check your vide o board man ual or the utility
program which comes with your graphic board and select the
highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.
Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
E
NERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a
computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically
reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below
(See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.)

On-screen messages
If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the
following messages appears on the sc reen.
If thin lines appear on your screen (damper wires)
The lines you are experiencing on your screen are normal for the
Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. These are shadows
from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and a re
most noticeable when the screen ’s background is light (usually
white). The aperture grille is the essent ial element that makes a
Trinitron picture tube un iqu e by a llo wing m ore lig ht to reach t he
screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.

Problems caused by the connected computer or other equipment
• Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.
• Confirm that the graphics mode (VESA, Macintosh 21" Color, etc.) and the frequency of
the input signal are supp ort ed by this monitor (Appendix). Even if the frequency is wi thin
the proper range, some graphics boards may have a sync pu lse that is too narrow for the
monitor to sync correctly.
• Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture.
• Adjust th e brightness and contrast (page 9).
• Degauss the monitor* (page 13).
• If CANCEL MOIRE is ON, the pi ct ure may become fuzzy. Decrease the moire
cancellation effect or set CANCEL MOIRE to OFF (page 11).
