Precaution

On Safety

• 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.

• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the “Specifications” section.

• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear panel.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a
damaged power cord.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.

• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.

• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.

On Installation

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block
the ventilation holes.

• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.

Handling the LCD Screen

• Bright or dark points of lights (red, blue or green) may
appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction.
The LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology with more than 99.99 % of the picture
elements intact. However, some picture elements may
not appear intermittently.

• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place
the unit by a window.

• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do
not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen.
This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.

• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not
a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.

About the Fluorescent Tube

A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the
lighting apparatus for this unit. If the LCD screen
becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, consult your
Sony dealer.

On Cleaning

Before cleaning

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.

On cleaning the monitor

A material that withstands sterilization is used for the
front protection plate of the medical use LCD monitor.
The protection plate surface is especially treated to
reduce reflection of light. When solvents such as
benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive
detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth are used for the
protection plate surface/monitor surface, the
performance of the monitor may be impaired or the
finish of the surface may be damaged. Take care with
respect to the following:

• Clean the protection plate surface/monitor surface
with a 50 to 70 v/v% concentration of isopropyl
alcohol or a 76.9 to 81.4 v/v% concentration of
ethanol using a swab method. Wipe the protection
plate surface gently (wipe using less than 1 N force).

• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth lightly dampened with mild
detergent solution using a swab method and then clean
using the above chemical solution.
Never use solvents such as benzene or thinner, or acid,
alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth for cleaning or sterilization, as they will damage
the protection plate surface/monitor surface.

• Do not use unnecessary force to rub the protection
plate surface/monitor surface with a stained cloth.
The protection plate surface/monitor surface may be
scratched.

• Do not keep the protection plate surface/monitor
surface in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product
for a long period of time. The finish of the surface
may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

Precaution

On Repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit.

Features

The LMD-1420MD is a 14-type LCD monitor that
conforms to medical safety standards. This unit is
suitable for endoscopy or use as a sub-monitor.

On Mounting on a Rack

Leave 1U space empty above and below the monitor to
ensure adequate air circulation or install a fan to
maintain the monitor’s performance.

If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.

On Fan Error

The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the “FAN
ERROR” message is displayed, turn off the power and
contact an authorized Sony dealer.

On the Delay of the Video Signal

When an analog signal is converted into a digital signal
in order to display it on the LCD panel, the signal is
delayed for about two frames. A quick motion object
may be displayed with a white after-image due to the
response speed of the LCD panel. Therefore when the
image shot by an endoscope is displayed on the LCD
panel, it becomes blurred and there is a delay until it is
displayed, compared with an image on the CRT monitor.
The LCD monitor is not suitable for checking an object
correctly and quickly during an operation such as using
an endoscope.

Compliance with medical safety standards in
America, Canada and Europe

UL60601-1 for America, CSA C22.2 No.601.1 for
Canada and EN 60601-1 for Europe have been obtained
for this monitor.
The monitor is designed for use in the medical treatment
field, with screen protect panel, etc.

High brightness LCD panel

Because of the monitor’s high brightness, high contrast
and wide viewing angle technology, it can be used under
various lighting conditions.

Rack mount monitors

The LMD-1420MD can be installed in a standard 19­inch rack using an optional rack mounting bracket MB-

526.

Monitor stand with tilt function

As the stand with tilt function is equipped normally for
the monitor, you can use it easily on the desk top. When
you mount the monitor to the rack, remove the stand.

Tally lamp

The green LED lamp is used for the tally lamp. You can
check the status of the monitor, controlling the lamp
from the external remote.

Two color system available

The monitor can display NTSC and PAL signals by
connecting this unit.

Blue only mode

In the blue only mode, an apparent monochrome display
is obtained with all three of the R/G/B cathodes driven
with a blue signal. This facilitates color saturation and
phase adjustments and observation of VCR noise.

Analog RGB/component input connectors

Analog RGB or component signals from video
equipment can be input through these connectors.

Y/C input connectors

Y/C signals of the video signal can be input through this
connector.

SDI optional input

SDI signals can be available when SDI input adaptor
BKM-320D (optional) is attached.

Features

External sync input

When the EXT SYNC button is in the on position, the
unit can be operated on the sync signal supplied from an
external sync generator.

Automatic termination (connector with
mark only)

The input connector is terminated internally at 75 ohms
when nothing has been connected to the output
connector. If a cable is connected to the output
connector, the internal terminal is automatically released
and the signals input to the input connector are output to
the output connector (loop-through).

Select color temperature and gamma mode

You can select the color temperature from among three
(high, low and low2) settings and gamma mode from
among five settings. You can also adjust the color
temperature to the appropriate setting.

Aspect setting

You can set the monitor to 4:3 or 16:9 display mode
according to the input video signal.

Scan setting

You can set the display size to -3% under scan or 5%
over scan mode.

Key inhibit function

You can inhibit a key, function to prevent misoperation.

Select language display

You can select from seven display languages English,
French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and
Chinese.

External remote control function

You can directly select the input signal, aspect, etc., by
operating the equipment connected to the PARALLEL
REMOTE terminal.

Picture delay minimizing mode

This unit is equipped with a mode that is used to
minimize the picture delay that occurs due to the signal
conversion process.

Two kinds of ground terminals

Two kinds of ground terminals are built into the monitor
to equal the electric potential.
