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.
