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.

•Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s coating.

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. To turn the monitor vertically and horizontally, hold it at the bottom with both hands as illustrated below.

15°

90°

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.

Examples of plug types

for 100 to 120 V AC

for 200 to 240 V AC

•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.

HD15 BNC INPUT

Selecting the INPUT signal mode

This monitor has two modes of input signal selection, “AUTO” and “MANUAL.”

When “AUTO” is selected

If no signal is input from the selected connector, the monitor automatically selects the other connector’s signal. When you restart the computer you want to view, or that computer is in power saving mode, the monitor may automatically select the other connector’s signal. This is because the monitor switches from the interrupted signal to the constant signal. If this happens, manually select the desired signal using the INPUT button.

When “MANUAL” is selected

Even if no signal is input from the selected connector, the monitor does not select the other connector’s signal.

Technical Features

Preset and User Modes

This monitor has factory preset modes for the most popular industry standards for true “plug and play” compatibility.

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 size and centering. Simply press the ASC 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.

Recommended horizontal and vertical timing conditions

Horizontal sync width duty should be: >4.8% of total horizontal time.

Horizontal blanking width should be: >2.5 µsec. Vertical blanking width should be: > 450 µsec.

Note for Windows users

For Windows users, check your video board manual or the utility program which comes with your graphic board and select the highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.

Adjusting the monitor’s resolution and color number

Adjust the monitor’s resolution and color number by referring to your computer’s instruction manual. The color number may vary according to your computer or video board. The color palette setting and the actual number of colors are as follows:

•High Color (16 bit) n65,536 colors

•True Color (24 bit) nabout 16.77 million colors In true color mode (24 bit), speed may be slower.

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.

Technical Features

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 16.

Note

If no video signal is input to the monitor, the “NO INPUT SIGNAL” message (page 20) appears. After the delay time has passed, the power saving function automatically puts the monitor into the active-off mode and the uindicator 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 DDC 1, 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.

Note

When using Windows 95/98, the DDC standard does not apply to the 5 BNC connectors. If you use the DDC standard, connect the HD15 connector to the computer with the supplied video signal cable.
