SAFETY CHECK-OUT
(US Model only)
After correcting the original service problem, perform the following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder
splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
“pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps,
and mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely
certain that you have replaced all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them
out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are specified values. Make
sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of your HV
meter if sets always have low HV.
8. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC Leakage.
Check leakage as described below.

LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground
and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part
having a return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500
microampers).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or
RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to
use these instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indication is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate lowvoltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are examples of a passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suitable. (See Fig. A)

Automatically Adjusting the Size
and Centering of the Picture
By pressing the auto sizing and centering (
) button, the
size and centering of the picture are automatically adjusted
to fit the screen.
1
Turn on the monitor and computer.
2
Press the
button.
The picture is adjusted to fit the center of the screen.
Notes
• This function may not work properly if the background color is
dark or if the input picture does not fill the screen to the edges.
• The screen may go blank for a few seconds while performing the
auto-sizing function. This is not a malfunction.
• Although the signals for picture aspect ratio 5:4 (resolution: 1280
× 1024) do not fill the screen to the edges, the picture is
accurately displayed.
Selecting the On-screen Display
Language
If you need to change the OSD language, see “Using the
LANG (Language) On-screen Display” on page 16.
The default setting is English.
Selecting the Input Signal
This monitor has two signal input connectors (13W3 pigtail
cable and HD15 connector) and can be connected to two
computers. When the power of both computers is on, select
the input signal you want to view as follows.
1
Turn on the monitor and both computers.
2
Press the button to select 1 (13W3) or 2 (HD15)
input signal.
Each time you press the
button, the input signal and
corresponding indicator alternate.
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
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
Power Saving Function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by
VESA and Energy Star, as well as the more stringent
NUTEK .
In particular, the monitor is capable of entering a low power
state when it is inactive and used with an Energy Star
capable framebuffer and appropriate Sun system software.

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.
Note
If no video signal is input to the monitor, the “NO INPUT
SIGNAL” message (page 18) appears. After the delay time has
passed, the power saving function automatically puts the monitor
into the active-off mode and the u indicator 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 DDC1, 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.

Additional Information
Warning Messages
If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the
following messages appears.
Additional Information
1 The input signal condition
“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, or
the input signal from the selected input connector is not
received.
2 The selected input connector
Indicates which input connector is receiving the wrong
signal. If there is something wrong with the signal from
both input connectors, “1” (13W3) and “2” (HD15) are
displayed alternately.
To solve these problems, see “Troubleshooting” below.

No picture
If the u indicator is not lit
If the “NO INPUT SIGNAL”
message appears on the screen,
or if the u 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 u indicator is green or

Picture is scrambled
Color is not uniform
• Check that the power cord is properly connected.
• Check that the u (power) switch is in the “on” position.
• The screen is blank when the monitor is in power saving mode. Try pressing any key on the
computer keyboard.
• Check that your computer power switch is in the “on” position.
• Check that the input select setting is correct.
• Check that the video signal cable is properly connected and all plugs are firmly seated in
their sockets.
• Ensure that no pins are bent or pushed in the 13W3 video input cable.
• Check that the video board is completely seated in the proper bus slot.
• Check that the video frequency range is within that specified for the monitor.
(Horizontal: 30 – 96 kHz, Vertical: 48 – 160 Hz)
Refer to your computer‘s instruction manual to adjust the video frequency range.
• See “Self-diagnosis Function” (page 20).
• Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.
• Check this manual and confirm that the graphics mode and the frequency you are trying to
operate at is supported. Even if the frequency is within the proper range, some video
boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.
• Degauss the monitor (page 14).
If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a loudspeaker, near the
monitor, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity.
The 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.
• Adjust the landing (pages 12 – 13).

• If the control lock function is set to on, set it to off using the OPTION OSD (page 15).
• Adjust the color temperature (page 12).
• Press the
button (page 7).
• Adjust the size or centering (pages 9 – 10).
• Adjust the geometry (pages 10 – 11).
• Adjust the convergence (pages 12 – 13).
• Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 8).
• Degauss the monitor (page 14).
If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a loudspeaker, near the
monitor, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity.
The 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 red or blue shadows appear along the edges of images, adjust the convergence
(pages 12 – 13).
• If the moire is cancelled, the picture may become fuzzy. Decrease the moire cancellation
effect (pages 12 – 13).
• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields. Common causes
for this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent lighting or laser printers.
• If you have another monitor close to this monitor, increase the distance between them to
reduce the interference.
• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
• Try the monitor on a different computer in a different room.
• Set the refresh rate on the computer to obtain the best possible picture by referring to the
computer’s manual.
• Eliminate the use of video cable extensions and/or video switch boxes if this symptom
occurs. Excessive cable length or a weak connection can produce this symptom.
• Cancel the moire (pages 12 – 13).
The moire may be modified depending on the connected computer.
• Due to the relationship between resolution, monitor dot pitch and the pitch of some image
patterns, certain screen backgrounds sometimes show moire. Change your desktop pattern.
• These wires stabilize the vertically striped aperture grille (page 17). This aperture grille
allows more light to pass through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color and
brightness.
• When the power is turned on, the auto-degauss cycle is activated. While the auto-degauss
cycle is activated (3 seconds), a hum may be heard. The same hum is heard when the
monitor is manually degaussed. This is not a malfunction.
