are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be

required to correct the interference. Important-To insure that the complete system (including this

peripheral) is capable of complying with the FCC requirements, it is recommended that the user make sure that the individual equipment of the complete system has a label with one of the following statements.

“this equipment has been tested with a Class A Computing Device and has been found to comply with Part 15 of FCC Rules.”

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to

persons. This symbol is intended to alert the user to

the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the appliance.

For the Customers in the USA

Warning — This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions manual, may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits tor a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which

On safety

• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC.

• Should any solid object or liquid fail 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.

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.

On cleaning

To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened 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.

This apparatus compiies with the Class A limits for radio noise emissions set out in Radio Interference Regulations.

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.

Automatic white balance circuit

The automatic white balance circuit compensates for the beam distortion, secular distortion of the cathode-ray tube, etc., and always reproduces the same white display on the

screen. This allows an extended use of the monitor.

Super Fine Pitch Trinitron picutre tube

(PVM-1344Q/PVM-1342Q only) The Super Fine Pitch Trinitron picture tube (0.25 mm aperture grill) gives high resolution picture. Horizontal resolution is more than 600 TV lines at the center of the picture. When

used as a character display, up to 2,000 characters (80

characters/line x 25 lines) can be displayed with great clarity.

Analog RGB/component connector (PVM-l344Qonly) Analog RGB and component signals of a video equipment

can be input through this connector. The signals are selected by the COMPO/RGB selector on the rear panel.

Analog RGB connector

Analog RGB signal of a video equipment can be input through this connector.

Digital RGB input connector

Digital RGB signal from a microcomputer can be input through this connector.

Y/C input connector

The video signal split into the chrominance signal (C) and the

luminance signal (Y) can be input through this connector,

eliminating the interference between the two signals which

tends to occur in a composite video signal and assuring the video quality.

Comb Filter

When NTSC video signals are received, a comb filter

activates to increase the resolution, resulting in fine picture detail without color spill or color noise.

Blue only mode

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

Underscan mode (except PVM-1340)

The signal normally scanned outside of the screen can be

monitored in the underscan mode.

The bright scanning lines which may appear on the top edge

of the screen when the monitor is in the underscan mode are

caused by an internal test signal, rather than the input signal.

HorizontalArertical delay mode (except PVM-1340)

The horizontal and vertical sync signals can be checked

simultaneously in the HA/ delay mode.

Users control memory (PVM-l344Qonly)

The desired aperture, brightness, chroma and phase levels

can be memorized as the levels to be restored.

External sync input (except PVM-1340) When the EXT SYNC (or ANALOG/DIGITAL (EXT SYNC)) button is depressed, the monitor can be operated on the sync signal supplied from an external sync generator.

VTR input connector

When connected to a VCR having the 8-pin TV connector, video and audio signals can be fed through this connector with a single cable.

Control S connector (except PVM-1340) When this connector is connected to the “control S” output of other equipment, the remote controls of the aperture,

brightness, chroma, phase, contrast and volume settings are possible.

Automatic temnination of BNC-type input connector

The BNC-type input connector is terminated at 75 ohms inside, when no cable is connected to the output connector. When the cable is connected to the output connector, the 75-ohms termination is automatically released, and the signal input to the corresponding IN connector is output from the output connector.

Four color systems available

(PVM-1344Q/PVM-1342Q only) The monitor can display PAL, SECAM, NTSCs.se and

NTSC4.43* signals. The appropriate color system is selected automatically. * A signal of NTSC4.43 is obtained by playing back NTSC-

recorded video cassettes with a video tape recorder/player especially designed for use with this system.

Color temperature selector

Color temperature of either 9,300°K or 6,500°K is selectable with the COLOR TEMP selector. For precise adjustment, use the BIAS and GAIN adjustment controls (except PVM-1340).

Light-touch picture adjustment buttons (except

PVM-1340) The aperture, brightness, chroma, phase, contrast and volume buttons can be adjusted by touching the buttons

lightly. The adjusted settings will be stored in memory even

when the monitor is turned off.

EiA standard 19-inch rack mounting

By using an optional MB-502A mounting bracket, the monitor

can be mounted in an EIA standard 19-inch rack. An optional

SLR-102 slide rail is also available. For details on mounting,

see the appropriate instruction manual.
