Getting Started
Warning on power connection
• Use an appropriate power cord for 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.
Examples of plug types:
• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30
seconds after turning off the power to allow the static
electricity on the CRT display surface to discharge.
• After the power has been turned on, the CRT is
demagnetized (degaussed) for about 5 seconds. This
generates a strong magnetic field around the metal frame,
which may affect the data stored on magnetic tapes and
disks near the bezel. Place magnetic recording equipment,
tapes and disks away from this monitor.
The outlet should be installed near the equipment
and be easily accessible.
Precautions
Installation
• Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air
circulation. Do not place the monitor on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the monitor near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not place the monitor near equipment which generates
magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power
lines.
Maintenance
• 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.
• Clean the 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 screen’s coating.
Transportation
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use
the original carton and packing materials.
Use of the Tilt-Swivel
With the tilt-swivel, this monitor can be adjusted to the
desired angle within 180° horizontally and 20° vertically.
To turn the monitor vertically and horizontally, hold it at
the bottom with both hands as illustrated below.

programs that require vivid colors.
The GRAPHICS/VIDEO MODE gives movies and games
enhanced visual appeal by increasing the sharpness and
brightness.
The selected mode indication appears on the screen for
about 3 seconds.
If the screen appears too white, adjust the color temperature
as explained in “Using the COLOR On-screen Display” on
page 11.
Note
The PRESENTATION MODE and GRAPHICS/VIDEO MODE may
produce ghost images when displaying text oriented applications.
These modes change the brightness of the picture dynamically
according to changes in moving pictures. If ghost images appear,
set the GPE to STANDARD MODE.

Damper Wires
When viewing a white background, very thin horizontal
lines are visible on the screen as shown below. These lines
are damper wires.
The Trinitron tube has a vertically striped aperture grille
inside. The aperture grille allows more light to pass
through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color
and brightness.
These damper wires are attached to the aperture grille to
prevent vibration of the aperture grille and keep the screen
image constantly stable.

Plug & Play
This monitor complies with the DDC1 and DDC2B
Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of VESA.
When a DDC1 host system is connected, the monitor
synchronizes with the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA
standards and outputs the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) to the data line.
When a DDC2B host system is connected, the monitor
automatically switches to the appropriate standard.
DDC is a trademark of the Video Electronics Standard
Association.
Displaying the monitor’s
information
You can display the model name, serial number and year of
manufacture using the monitor‘s INFORMATION OSD.
Press and hold the MENU button for 5 seconds.
The INFORMATION OSD appears.
Example:
The INFORMATION OSD includes the model name, serial
number and manufactured year.
The OSD automatically disappears after about 30 seconds.

Power Saving Function
This monitor has three modes of reduced power
consumption. By sensing the absence of video signal
coming from the computer, it reduces power consumption
as follows.
Note
If the video signal cable is not connected, the “NO INPUT
SIGNAL” message (page 18) appears. After 30 seconds, the power
saving function automatically puts the monitor into the active-off
mode and the u indicator lights up orange. Once the horizontal
and vertical sync signals are detected, the monitor automatically
resumes its normal operation mode.

Edges of the image are
curved
White lines show red or blue
shadows at edges
Picture is fuzzy
Picture bounces or has wavy

• Adjust the size or centering (page 9).
• Some video modes do not fill the screen to the edges. This problem tends to occur with
certain video boards.
• Adjust the geometry (page 10).
• Adjust the convergence (pages 12 – 13).
• Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 8).
• Degauss the monitor (page 13).
If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a loudspeaker, near
the monitor, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity.
The degauss function demagnetizes the metal frame of the CRT to obtain a neutral
field for uniform color reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a
minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result.
• If red or blue shadows appear along the edges of images, adjust the convergence
(pages 12 – 13).
• If the moire is cancelled, the picture may become fuzzy. Decrease the moire
cancellation effect (pages 12 – 13).
• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields. Common
causes for this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent lighting or laser printers.
• If you have another monitor close to this monitor, increase the distance between them
to reduce the interference.
• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
• Try the monitor on a different computer in a different room.
• Set the refresh rate on the computer to obtain the best possible picture by referring to
your computer’s manual.
• Eliminate the use of video cable extensions and/or video switch boxes if this symptom
occurs. Excessive cable length or a weak connection can produce this symptom.
• Cancel the moire (pages 12 – 13).
The moire may be modified depending on the connected computer.
• Due to the relationship between resolution, monitor dot pitch and the pitch of some
image patterns, certain screen backgrounds sometimes show moire. Change your
desktop pattern.
• These wires stabilize the vertically striped aperture grille (page 17). This aperture grille
allows more light to pass through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color
and brightness.
• When the power is turned on, the auto-degauss cycle is activated. While the autodegauss cycle is activated, a hum may be heard. The same hum is heard when the
monitor is manually degaussed. This is not a malfunction.
• If the problem persists, call your authorized Sony dealer from a location near your monitor.
• Note the model name and the serial number of your monitor. Also note the make and name of your video board.

OUT OF SCAN RANGE
Input signal condition
• Check that the power cord is properly connected.
• Check that the u (power) switch is in the “on” position.
• Try pressing any key on the computer keyboard.
• Check that your computer power switch is in the “on” position.
• Check that the video signal cable is properly connected and all plugs are firmly seated
in their sockets.
• Ensure that no pins are bent or pushed in the HD15 video input connector.
• Check that the video board is completely seated in the proper bus slot.
• Check that the video frequency range is within that specified for the monitor.
Horizontal: 30 – 70 kHz (CPD-100GS), 30 – 85 kHz (CPD-200GS)
Vertical: 50 – 120 Hz
Refer to your computer’s instruction manual to adjust the video frequency range.
• If you are using a video signal cable adapter, check that it is the correct one.
• See “Self-diagnosis Function” (page 20).
• Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.
• Check this manual and confirm that the graphics mode and the frequency you are
trying to operate at is supported. Even if the frequency is within the proper range,
some video boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync
correctly.
• Degauss the monitor (page 13).
If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a loudspeaker, near
the monitor, or you change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity.
The degauss function demagnetizes the metal frame of the CRT to obtain a neutral
field for uniform color reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a
minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result.
• If the control lock function is set to on, set it to off using the OPTION OSD (page 14).
