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

Installation

Do not install the monitor in the following places:

• 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

The screen is degaussed for about 2 seconds. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result.

Changing the menu’s position

Change the menu’s position if it is blocking an image on the screen.

To change the menu’s on-screen position, first move the control button m/M to select (OSD H POSITI ON) for horizontal adjustment, or (O SD V POSITION) for vertical adjustment. Then move the control button </, to shift the on-screen menu.

Locking the controls

To protect adjustment data by locking the cont rols, first move the control button m/M to select (CONTROL LOCK). Then move the control button ,, to select ON.

Only the 1 (power) switch, EXIT, and (CONTROL LOCK) of the OPTION menu will operate. If any other items are selected, the mark appears on the screen.

To cancel the control lock

Repeat the procedure above and set (CON T ROL LOCK) to OFF.

Resetting the adjustments

This monitor has the following three reset methods. Use the RESET button to reset the adjustments.

RESET

Resetting a single adjustment item

Use the control button to select the adjustment item you want to reset, and press the RESET button.

Resetting all of the adjustment data for the current input signal

Press the RESET button when no menu is displayed on the screen. Note that the following items are not reset by this method:

• on-screen menu language (page 7)

• adjustment mode in the COLOR menu (EASY, EXPERT,

sRGB) (page 12)

• on-screen menu position (page 13)

• control lock (page 13)

Resetting all of the adjustment data for all input signals

Press and hold the RESET button for mo re th an two seconds.

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,

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.

Trouble symptoms and remedies

If the problem is caused by the con nected computer or other equipment, please refer to the connected equip ment’s instruction manual. Use the self-diagnosis function (page 18) if the following recommendations do not resolve the problem.

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).
