About the built-in stereo speaker

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 highprecision 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%)

Replacement of the fluorescent tube

A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the lighting apparatus for this monitor. If the screen becomes dark, unstable, or does not turn on, replace the fluorescent tube with a new one. Consult your Sony dealer when replacing the fluorescent tube.

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

Installation

Do not install or leave the monitor:

• In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the monitor 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.

• 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.

Handling the LCD screen

• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the monitor by a window.

• 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 monitor 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.

Maintenance

• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning your monitor.

• Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the LCD screen’s coating.

• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

• Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating degradation may occur if the monitor is exposed to volatile solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.

Transportation

• Disconnect all cables from the monitor and grasp the support and base sections of the display stand firmly with both hands when transporting. If you drop the monitor, you may be injured or the monitor may be damaged.

• When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials.

Technical Features

Automatic picture quality adjustment function

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,

ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a

computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.

Power mode Power consumption

normal operation

active off* (deep sleep)**

power off 2 W (max.) off

* When your computer enters the “active off” mode, the input signal is

cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 20 seconds, the monitor enters the power saving mode.

** “deep sleep” is the power saving mode defined by the Environmental

Protection Agency.

*** If the horizontal or vertical sync signal is received by the monitor, the

power indicator may alternately blink green and orange.

(including AC adapter) 22 W (max.) green

2 W (max.) orange***

1 (power)

indicator

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.) For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor automatically adjusts the picture position, phase, and pitch, and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing within the monitor’s frequency range (horizontal: 28 – 64 kHz, vertical: 48 – 75 Hz). Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor may take a longer time than normal for displaying the picture on the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that next time, the monitor will function in the same way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of the factory preset modes. In all modes as above, if the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal is received.

Note

While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only the 1 (power) switch will operate.
