Overview
Precautions
On Safety
• 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.
Chapter
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.
• 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 fixed picture such as a frame of a divided picture or
time code, or a still picture is displayed for a long time,
an image may remain on the screen and be
superimposed as a ghosting image.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
1
With Protection Plate Installed
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
The protection plate is installed on the monitor to protect
the LCD panel at the factory.
• When viewed from an oblique angle, the picture with
the protection plate installed may differ in color from
that without the protection plate.
• With the protection plate installed, there may be more
reflection of light than without.
• As the internal heat of the monitor increases when the
protection plate is installed, the fan starts to run earlier
than when the protection plate is not installed.
On Cleaning
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.
Precautions
7
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
Chapter 1 Overview
cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
If you wipe the screen using too much force, the screen
surface may lose uniformity or the LCD panel may
malfunction.
Never use tissue as it may scar the surface of the screen.
• 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.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They
make an ideal container which to transport the unit.
On Rack Mounting
When the monitor is mounted on a rack, the temperature
around the monitor may rise due to heat generated from
other equipment and reduced air circulation, causing
damage to the monitor. To prevent this, keep the space
around the monitor (1U or more space above and below the
monitor), and install a ventilation fan or take other
effective countermeasures so that the temperature around
the monitor is within the specified range: operating
temperature range of 0 to 35 °C (32 to 95°F).
If you have any questions about this unit, please contact
your Sony service representative.

Chapter 2 Preparations
Illumination environments
The apparent color reproduction on the monitor is greatly
affected by ambient light or glare.
The LCD device controls the brightness by moving LCD
molecules with the backlight always lit. For this reason,
in a dark place, an LCD monitor screen shows very dim
light leaks from the black image. We recommend that you
adjust the ambient light and use in an environment that
does not degrade the reproduction of black.
Viewing angle
The ideal viewing angle is within 5 degrees (up/down/left/
right) off the center of the monitor screen when the
operator views the entire monitor screen. Keep the
viewing angle within 15 degrees off the center of the
monitor screen.
