Precautions

Warning on power connections

• Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord, be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

For the customers in the U.S.A.

If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.

For the customers in the UK

If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the appropriate UK power cord.

Example of plug types

for 100 t o 120 V AC for 200 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only

For use only with AC adapter, SONY AC-V018

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 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 householdappliances.

• 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 theLCDscreen.Takecarewhenyouplacethemonitorbya 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.

• 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.

Technical Features

Automatic picture quality adjustment function

Power saving function

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

NERGYSTAR, 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 as shown below.

Power mode Power consumption1(power)

normal operation

active off* (deep sleep)**

power off 3 W (max.) off

* Whenyour 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 a power saving mode defined by the Environmental

Protection Agency.

50 W (max.) green

3 W (max.) orange /

indicator

green and orange alternate

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 the 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 – 92 kHz, vertical: 48 – 85 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 mentioned 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

(power) switch will operate.

Troubleshooting

L’appareil doit être installéàproximitéd’une prise de courant aisément accessible.

Installation

N’installez pas et ne laissez pas le moniteur:

• A des endroits exposés à des températures extrêmes, par exemple à proximité d’un radiateur, d’un conduit de chauffage ou exposé directement au soleil. L’expositiondu moniteuràdes températures extrêmes, comme dans l’habitacle d’une voiture garée en plein soleil ou à proximité d’un conduit de chauffage, risque d’entraîner des déformations du châssis ou des dysfonctionnements.

• A des endroits soumis à des vibrations mécaniques ou à des chocs.

• Aproximité d’appareils générant de puissants champs magnétiques, comme un téléviseur ou d’autres appareils électroménagers.

• A des endroit soumis à des quantités inhabituelles de poussière, de saletés ou de sable, par exemple à côté d’une fenêtre ouverte ou d’une porte donnant sur l’extérieur. En cas d’installation temporaire à l’extérieur, veillez à prendre les précautions requisescontre la poussièreetlessaletésen suspension dans l’air. Fautede quoi des dommagesirréparablesrisquentde se produire.

Manipulation d e l’écran LCD

• Ne laissez pas l’écran LCD face au soleil, car vous risquez sinon de l’endommager. Faites donc attention si vous installez le moniteur à côté d’une fenêtre.

• N’appuyez pas sur la surface de l’écran LCD et veillez à ne pas l’érafler. Ne posez pas d’objets lourds sur l’écran LCD. Vous risquez sinon d’altérer l’uniformité de l’écran ou de provoquer un dysfonctionnement de l’écran LCD.

• Lorsque le moniteur est utilisé dans un environnement froid, il est possible qu’une image rémanente apparaisse sur l’écran. Il ne s’agit pas d’un dysfonctionnement. L’écran recouvre sa condition normale dès que la température est revenue à un niveau normal.

• Si une image fixereste affichée pendant une longue durée, il se peut qu’une image rémanente apparaisse pendant un certain temps. Cette image rémanente finira par disparaître.

• Le panneau LCD s’échauffe en cours d’utilisation. Il ne s’agit pas d’un dysfonctionnement.

A propos des haut-parleurs stéréointégrés

Assurez-vous de tenir vos équipements d’enregistrement magnétique, vos cassettes et vos disquettes à l’écart des ouvertures des haut-parleurs qui génèrent des champs magnétiques. Ces champs magnétiques sont susceptibles d’effacer ou d’endommager les données stockées sur vos cassettes ou disquettes.

Remarque sur l’affichage à cristaux liquides ( LCD

- Liquid Crystal Display)

Veuillez noter que l’écran LCD est issu d’une technologie de haute précision.Toutefois,ilest possibleque des points noirs oudes pointsbrillants de lumière (rouge, bleu o u vert) apparaissent constammentsur l’écranLCD, ainsi que des bandesde couleurs irrégulières ou une certaine luminosité.Ilne s’agit pas d’un dysfonctionnement. (Points effectifs : supérieurs à 99,99%)

Remplacement du tube fluorescent

Un tube fluorescent de conception spéciale est installé dans ce moniteur comme source lumineuse. Si l’écran s’assombrit, est instableou ne s’allume pas, remplacez le tube fluorescent. Pour le remplacementdu tube fluorescent, consultez votre revendeur Sony.
