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 Erklärungen zu Konvergenz.

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.
Handling the LCD screen
• Bright points of light (red, blue or green) may appear
on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD
screen is made with high-precision technology and
more than 99.99 % of the picture element is intact.
However, some of the picture element may not
appear or some of the picture element may appear
constantly.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the
monitor by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a
heavy object on the LCD screen. This may cause the
screen to lose uniformity.
• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image
may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction.
When the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to
normal.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual
image may appear. The residual image will eventually
disappear.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
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.
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass
cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner
containing an antistatic solution or similar additive as this
may scratch the screen's coating.
Transportation
• When you transport this monitor, grip the bottom of the
screen firmly with both hands. If you drop the monitor,
you may be injured or the monitor may be damaged.
• When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment,
use the original carton and packing materials.
Warning on power connection
• Use an appropriate power cord for your local power
supply.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will
not conform to mandatory FCC standards.

Preset and User Modes
This monitor has factory preset modes for the most popular
industry standards for true "plug and play" compatibility.
(See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.)
When a new input signal is entered, the monitor selects the
appropriate factory preset mode and momentarily adjusts
the phase calibration to provide a high quality picture to the
center of the screen. The calibration is stored in memory
and is immediately recalled whenever the same input signal
is received.
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset
modes, the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor
performs all of the adjustments necessary to ensure that a
clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the
monitor's frequency range. However, it may be necessary
to fine tune the vertical/horizontal centering. Simply press
the AUTO button or adjust the monitor according to the
adjustment instructions. The adjustments are stored
automatically as a user mode and recalled whenever the
corresponding input signal is received.
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 15.
Troubleshooting
This section may help you isolate the cause of a problem
and as a result, eliminate the need to contact technical
support.
On-screen messages
If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the
following messages appears on the screen. To solve the
problem, see "Trouble symptoms and remedies" on page 18.
O INFORMATION
OUT OF SCAN RANGE
"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 to the
monitor.

I
Symptom
No picture
If the (I) indicator is not lit
If the "NO INPUT SIGNAL"
message appears on the screen,
or if the (!) indicator is either
orange or alternating between
green and orange
If the "OUT OF SCAN RANGE"
message appears on the screen
If no message is displayed and
the (!) indicator is green or

If using Windows 95/98
Check these items
• Check that the power cord is properly connected.
• Check that the (!) (power) switch is in the "on" position.
• Check that the video signal cable is properly connected and all plugs are firmly seated in
their sockets.
• Check that the input select setting is correct.
• Check that the HD15 video input connector's pins are not bent or pushed in.
■ Problems caused by the connected computer or other equipment
• The computer is in power saving mode. Try pressing any key on the computer keyboard.
• Check that the computer's power is "on."
• Check that your graphics board is completely seated in the proper bus slot.
■ Problems caused by the connected computer or other equipment
• Check that the video frequency range is within that specified for the monitor. If you
replaced an old monitor with this monitor, reconnect the old monitor and adjust the
frequency range to the following.
Horizontal: 30 - 92 kHz, Vertical: 48 - 85 Hz
• Use the self-diagnosis function (page 19).
• If you replaced an old monitor with this monitor, reconnect the old monitor and do the
following. Install the Windows Monitor Information Disk/Utility Disk and select "CPDL181" from among the Sony monitors in the Windows 95/98 monitor selection screen.
If using a Macintosh system

• Press the AUTO button. If this does not work, adjust the pitch and phase (page 10).
• Isolate and eliminate tiny potential sources of electric or magnetic fields such as other
monitors, laser printers, electric fans, fluorescent lighting, or televisions.
• Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near the monitor.
• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
• Try turning the monitor 90° to the left or right.
■ 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 supported by this monitor (Appendix). Even if the frequency is
within the proper range, some graphics boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow
for the monitor to sync correctly.
• Adjust the computer's refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture.
• Press the AUTO button. If this does not work, adjust the pitch and phase (page 10).
• Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 12).
• Adjust the backlight (page 15)
• Adjust the brightness (page 12).
