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
Side
Warning on power connections
• Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord,
be sure that it is compatible with 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.
Example of plug types
Use of the stand
Insert the supplied stand into the groo ve to adjust the angle of the
monitor. You can use the stand in either the vertical or horizontal
position.
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 elec tricity on the
screen’s surface to discharge.
• After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized
(degaussed) for about 5 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 accessibl e
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 lines
• 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 t ype of cleaner containing an anti-static
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 su ch as a ballpoint pe n or screwdrive r. This type
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.
• Clean the cabin e t, pane l and co nt rols wi th a soft cloth ligh tly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type
of abrasive pa d, sc ouring powder or solv ent, s uch as a lcohol o r
benzene.
Transportation
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the
original carton and packing materials.
Use of the groove on top (HMD-A200 only)
You can put a photo frame or CD case in the groove.
Note
Never use the slit for any other purpose.
Use of the headphones’ hook (HMD-A100 only)
Insert the supplied h ook in to o ne of the hole s (ten on bo th th e left
and right sides) on either the left or right side of the moni tor.
Note
Never hang heavy objects from the hook other than the headphones.

your computer or video board. The color palette setting and the actual
number of colors are as follows:
• High Color (16 bit) t 65,536 colors
• True Color (24 bit) t about 16.77 million col ors
In true color mode (24 bit), speed may be slower.
Connecting Universal Serial Bus
(USB) compliant peripherals
Your monitor has one upstream USB connector (on the rear
panel) and four downstream USB connectors (two on both the left
and right sides). They provide a fast and easy way to connect USB
compliant peripheral devices (suc h as keyboards, mice, printers
and scanners) to your computer using a standardized USB cable.
To use your monitor as a hub for your peripheral devices, connect
the USBs as illustrated below.

Notes
• Not all computers and /or opera ti ng syst ems support USB
configurations. Check your computer’s instruction manual to see if you
can connect USB devices.
• In most cases, USB driver software needs to be installed on the host
computer. Refer to the peripheral device’s instruction manual for
further details.
• The monitor functions as a USB hub as long as the monitor is either
“on” or in power saving mode.
• If you connect a keyboard or mouse to the USB conn ectors and then

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 c enter
of the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the fact ory preset
modes.) 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 ran ge ( ho rizon ta l: 30 – 7 0 kHz, vertical:
48 – 120 Hz) . If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is
stored as a user mode and automati cally recalled whenever the
same input signal is received.

Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
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. Th ese are shad ows
from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture gri lle and are
most noticeable when the s creen’s background is light (usual ly
white). The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a
Trinitron picture tub e un ique by allowing more lig ht to reach the
screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
Damper wires
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 gr aphics board that is DPMS (Display Po wer
