Precaution

On Safety

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

• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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 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

• The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.

• 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.

On cleaning the monitor screen

The monitor screen surface is especially treated to reduce reflection of light. As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of the monitor, take care with respect to the following:

• Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.

• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly dampened with water.

• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.

On cleaning the cabinet

• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a soft dry cloth.

• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.

• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet may be scratched.

• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet 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.

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 (LMD-2450W)

The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the fan stops and the RETURN button on the front panel blinks for fan error indication, turn off the power and contact an authorized Sony dealer.

About this manual

The instructions in this manual are for the following two models:

• LMD-2050W

High brightness LCD panel

Because of precise image, wide viewing angle technology and high speed response, real color image can be reproduced.

Multi-format

The monitor supports the video, Y/C, RGB, component, SDI (HD/D1, when the optional input adaptor is used.) signals and NTSC/PAL color systems. HD15 (analog) and DVI-D (digital) connectors are equipped for the PC input.

For more information, refer to “Available signal formats” on page 34.

Expandable input capability

The input connector configuration can be easily modified by installing the optional input adaptor into the optional input slot on the bottom of the monitor. Up to two adaptors can be installed.

For more information, refer to “Available signal formats” on page 34.

External remote function

The input signal is selected or various items are adjusted by use of the serial (Ethernet) remote function. Up to 32 monitors and control units (max. 4) can be connected by the Ethernet (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) connection and controlled remotely on the network. You can control individual monitors or monitor groups simply by entering the monitor ID or group ID number. You can also execute the same operation on all connected monitors, or put all connected monitors into the same setup and adjustment state.

For more information, refer to SERIAL REMOTE of “REMOTE menu” on page 29.

Refer to the Operation Manual of the BKM-15R Monitor Control Unit.
