Precautions

On safety

•Operate the unit on 100 to 120 V AC or 220 to 240 V AC.

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

•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.

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

•To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

•When the unit is installed on the floor, be sure to use the retractable feet.

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.

•When you install multiple equipment with the unit, the following, such as malfunction of the Remote Commander, noisy picture, noisy sound, may occur depending on the position of the unit and other equipment.

On the PDP (Plasma Display Panel)

•There may be some tiny black points and/or bright points on the PDP. These points are normal.

•Do not display the same still image on the screen for a long time. Otherwise, an afterimage or ghost may appear on a part of the panel. Use the screen saver function to equalize use of the screen display.

On cleaning

To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleansers since these will damage the cabinet. As a safety precaution, unplug the unit before cleaning it.

On repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit to another location, repack it as illustrated on the carton.

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

For PFM-510A2WE/500A3WE Users

4 RGB1 OUT connectors

These connectors are used as loop-through outputs of the RGB1 IN connectors 1. When the plug is connected to the RGB OUT connectors, the 75-ohms termination of the RGB IN connectors is released, and the signal input to the RGB IN connectors is output from the these connectors.

R (R-Y)/G (Y)/B (B-Y) OUT (BNC-type): Loop-

through outputs of the RGB IN connectors. Connects to the RGB signal or component (Y/BY/R-Y) signal input of another monitor.

HD/COMP OUT (BNC-type): Loop-through output

of the HD/COMP IN connector. Connects to the H sync signal or composite sync signal input of another monitor.

VD OUT (BNC-type): Loop-through output of the

VD IN connector. Connects to the V sync signal input of another monitor.

Note

The HD/COMP OUT and VD OUT connectors are high impedance outputs. When using these outputs, connect a monitor with a high impedance sync input connector, or the picture might oscillate or disappear because of the sync signal level mismatch.

AUDIO OUT (L/R) (phono type): Loop-through

outputs of the AUDIO IN jacks. Connects to the audio inputs of another monitor.

5 LINE OUT connectors

These connectors are used as loop-through outputs of the LINE IN connectors 3. When the plug is connected to the VIDEO OUT connector or Y/C OUT jack, the 75-ohms termination of the VIDEO IN connector or Y/C IN jack is released, and the signal input to the VIDEO IN or Y/C IN jack is output from the VIDEO OUT connector or Y/C OUT jack.

VIDEO OUT (BNC-type): Connects to the

composite video signal input of another monitor or video equipment.

Y/C OUT (Mini DIN 4-pin): Connects to the Y/C

signal input of another monitor or a piece of video equipment.

AUDIO OUT (L/R) (phono type): Loop-through

outputs of the AUDIO IN jacks. Connects to the audio inputs of another monitor or a piece of video equipment.

2 CONTROL S IN/OUT jacks (mini jacks)

Connects to the CONTROL S jacks of video equipment or another monitor. Then you can simultaneously control all equipment with a single Remote Commander. To control equipment by aiming the supplied Remote Commander at the remote control detector of the monitor, connect the CONTROL S OUT jack of the monitor and the CONTROL S IN jack of the other equipment.

Notes

•If you connect the CONTROL S IN jack to the other equipment’s CONTROL S OUT jack, you cannot operate the monitor with the Remote Commander.

•You can use a stereo cable with a mini plug instead of the control S cable.

3 SPEAKERS L/R terminals

Connects to speakers with 6 to 16 ohms impedance.

Note

Do not connect the speaker’s cord to the monitor and to an amplifier simultaneously, or an excessive electric current might flow from the amplifier and damage the monitor.

Installing batteries

Insert two size AA (R6) batteries in correct polarity.

•In normal operation, batteries will last up to half a year. If the Remote Commander does not operate properly, the batteries might be exhausted sooner. Replace them with new ones.

•To avoid damage from possible battery leakage, remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the Remote Commander for a fairly long time.

When the Remote Commander does not work

Check that the 1 indicator lights up. The Remote Commander operates the monitor only when the monitor is turned on, or it is in the standby mode.

Note

When you use multiple monitors, if you connect the cable to the CONTROL S IN jack on the side of the monitor, you cannot operate the monitor with the Remote Commander.

Slide the AC plug holder over the cord until it connects to the AC IN socket cover.

To remove the AC power cord

Squeeze the upper and lower sides and pull out the AC plug holder.

Connection Example

Before you start

•First make sure that the power to each piece of equipment is turned off.

•Use connecting cables suitable for the equipment to be connected.

•The cable connectors should be fully inserted into the jacks. A loose connection may cause hum and other noise.

•To disconnect the cable, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the cable itself.

•Read the instruction manual of the equipment to be connected.
