Installation
Do not install or leave the display:
• In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a
radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the
display to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile
parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause
deformations of the casing or malfunctions.
• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.
• The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
• Leave some space around the unit. Otherwise, adequate aircirculation may be blocked causing overheating and cause fire
or damage the unit.
20 cm
10 cm
• Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field,
such as a TV or various other household appliances.
• In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for
example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up
temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take
adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise
irreparable malfunctions could occur.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
Apparatus to rain or moisture.
• Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.
• To prevent fire, keep inflammable objects or naked lights (e.g.
candles) away from the unit.
• Do not place the unit near or over a radiator or heat register, or
where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
Handling the LCD screen

the LCD screen. Take care when you place the display by a
window.
10 cm
• Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy
object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose
uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.
• If the display is used in a cold place, a residual image may
appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen
returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating
level.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image
may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually
disappear.
• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a
malfunction.
About the built-in stereo speakers
Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and floppy
discs away from the speaker’s opening as the speakers generate a
magnetic field. This magnetic field may affect data stored on
magnetic tapes and discs.
Note on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
Please note that the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology. However, black points or bright points of light (red,
blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen, and
irregular colored stripes or brightness may appear on the LCD
screen. This is not malfunction.
(Effective dots: more than 99.99%)
Maintenance
• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before

abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

When the display receives an input signal, it
automatically adjusts the picture’s position and
sharpness (phase/pitch), and ensures that a clear
picture appears on the screen.
The factory preset mode
When the display receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
display’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of
the screen. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the
picture appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate
default adjustments.
If input signals do not match one of the factory
preset modes
When the display receives an input signal that does not match one
of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality
adjustment function of this display is activated to ensure that a
clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following
display frequency ranges):
Each indication appears on the screen and Picture Mode is

setting the Picture Mode to “Auto” with the
in the “Picture” menu. (When you select the input from PC 1 or
PC 2, “Movie” is selected as the default. When you select the
input from VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or TV, “Vivid” is selected as the
default.)
Also, when you set the Picture Mode to “Auto” with the
button, the adjustment bar is displayed. You can adjust the bar
with the M/m buttons. Screen brightness changes according to
the level you set.
(light sensor)
button or“Mode”
Consequently, the first time the display receives input signals that
do not match one of the factory preset modes, the display may
take a longer time than normal to display the picture on the screen.
This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that
next time, the display will function in the same way as when the
display receives the signals that match one of the factory preset
modes.
If you adjust the phase, pitch, and picture position
manually
For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment
function of this display may not completely adjust the picture
position, phase, and pitch. In this case, you can set these
adjustments manually (page 24). If you set these adjustments
manually, they are stored in memory as user modes and
automatically recalled whenever the display receives the same
input signals.
