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 to 120 V AC for 200 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only

For use only with AC adapter, AC-V012C for SDM-S51,
AC-V012E for SDM-S71/S81.

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.

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.

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.

Disposal of the monitor

• Do not dispose of this monitor with general
household waste.

• The fluorescent tube used in this monitor contains
mercury. Disposal of this monitor must be carried out
in accordance to the regulations of your local
sanitation authority.

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 as shown below.

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 –
60 kHz (SDM-S51), 28 – 92 kHz (SDM-S71/S81), vertical: 48 –
75 Hz (SDM-S51), 48 – 85 Hz (SDM-S71/S81)).
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.

Précautions

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

Avertissement sur les connexions d’alimentation

• Utilisez le câble d’alimentation fourni. Si vous utilisez un câble
d’alimentation différent, assurez-vous qu’il est compatible
avec la tension secteur locale.

Pour les clients aux Etats-Unis

Si vous n’employez pas le câble approprié, ce moniteur ne sera
pas conforme aux normes FCC obligatoires.

Pour les clients au Royaume-Uni

Si vous utilisez le moniteur au Royaume-Uni, veuillez utiliser
le câble d’alimentation adapté au Royaume-Uni.

Exemples de types de fiches

pour 100 à 120 V CA pour 200 à 240 V CA pour 240 V CA

uniquement

A n’utiliser qu’avec l’adaptateur secteur AC-V012C pour
SDM-S51, AC-V012E pour SDM-S71/S81.

L’appareil doit être installé à proximité d’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 le rayonnement direct du soleil. L’exposition du moniteur à
des températures extrêmes, comme dans l’habitacle d’une
voiture parquée 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.

• A proximité 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
requises contre la poussière et les saletés en suspension dans l’air.
Faute de quoi des dommages irréparables risquent de se produire.

Manipulation de 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 et veillez à ne pas érafler la surface de
l’écran LCD. 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 employé 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 fixe reste affichée pendant une longue durée, il se
peut qu’une image rémanente apparaisse pendant un certain
temps. Cette image rémanente finira par disparaître.

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, il est
