Features

Picture

HR (High Resolution) Trinitron1) picture tube
for PVM-14L4 and PVM-20L4

HR Trinitron tube provides a high resolution picture.
Horizontal resolution is more than 800 TV lines (4:3)
or 600 TV lines (16:9) at the center of the picture.

Trinitron
for PVM-14L3

Trinitron tube provides a high resolution picture.
Horizontal resolution is more than 600 TV lines (4:3)
at the center of the picture.

Comb filter

When NTSC and PAL video signals are received, a
comb filter activates to make more accurate Y/C
separation. This contributes to less of a decrease in
resolution, cross color and cross luminance
phenomena.

Beam current feedback circuit

The built-in beam current feedback circuit assures
stable white balance.

picture tube

Input

Analog RGB/component input connectors

Analog RGB or component (Y, R-Y and B-Y) signals
from video equipment can be input through these
connectors. Select either of two signals using the RGB/
COMP input switch button.

Y/C input connectors (S-input connector)

The video signal, split into the luminance signal (Y)
and the chrominance signal (C), can be input through
this connector, eliminating the interference between
the two signals, which tends to occur in a composite
video signal, ensuring video quality.

Expandable input capability

You can easily expand the input capability by
installing an input adaptor (not supplied) in the input
option slot in the rear of the monitor.

External sync input

When the EXT SYNC selector is in the on position,
the monitor can be operated on the sync signal
supplied from an external sync generator.

Four color system available

The monitor can display NTSC, PAL, SECAM and
NTSC4.43 signals. The appropriate color system is
selected automatically.

Auto chroma phase function

The chroma and phase of the decoder are
automatically adjusted with the auto chroma phase
function.

Blue only mode

In the blue only mode, an apparent monochrome
display is obtained with all three of the R/G/B
cathodes driven with a blue signal. This facilitates
color saturation and phase adjustments and observation
of VCR noise.

Automatic termination (connector with
mark only)

The input connector is terminated at 75 ohms inside
when nothing has been connected to the output
connector. If a cable is connected to the output
connector, the internal terminal is automatically
released and the signals input to the input connector
are output to the output connector (loop-through).

Functions

Underscan mode

The signal normally scanned outside of the screen can
be monitored in the underscan mode.

Note

When the monitor is in the underscan mode, the dark
RGB scanning lines may appear on the top edge of the
screen. These are caused by an internal test signal,
rather than the input signal.

environnements E1 à E4. Lors de contraintes EMC,
les performances (évaluées en fonction de ITU/R 562­3 et ITU/R 500-4) risquent de chuter comme le montre
le tableau 1. Sans contrainte EMC, toutes les
performances reviennent à leur niveau maximum.

ATTENTION – Lorsque le produit est installé
sur un bâti :

a) Température ambiante de service élevée

Si l’appareil est installé sur un bâti fermé ou
comportant plusieurs appareils, la température
ambiante de service du bâti peut être supérieure à
la température ambiante de la pièce. Il convient par
conséquent d’installer l’appareil dans un
environnement compatible avec la température
ambiante nominale maximale indiquée par le
fabriquant (Tmra : 0 °C à 35 °C).

b) Débit d’air réduit

L’installation de l’appareil dans un bâti ne doit pas
entraver la circulation d’air nécessaire au
fonctionnement fiable de l’appareil.

c) Charge mécanique

Le montage de l’appareil sur le bâti ne doit pas
créer de situation dangereuse résultant d’une
charge mécanique irrégulière.

d) Surcharge du circuit

Il convient de porter attention au raccordement de
l’appareil sur le circuit d’alimentation et à l’effet
d’une surcharge des circuits sur la protection contre
les surintensités et le câblage d’alimentation.
Il convient de prendre en compte les
caractéristiques indiquées sur la plaque
signalétique de l’appareil pour régler ce problème.

e) Mise à la terre fiable

Une mise à la terre fiable doit être assurée pour un
appareil installé dans un bâti. Il convient de porter
particulièrement attention aux raccordements
d’alimentation qui ne sont pas des raccordements
directs au circuit de dérivation (par exemple,
l’utilisation de blocs multiprises).

f) Maintien d’un espace de dégagement minimal

Laissez un espace de 44 mm au-dessus et en
dessous d’un appareil installé dans un bâti.

• La plaquette signalétique indiquant la tension de

service, la consommation électrique, etc., se trouve à
l’arrière de l’appareil.

• Si un liquide ou un objet pénètre à l’intérieur du

châssis, débranchez le moniteur et faites-le contrôler
par un personnel qualifié avant de le remettre en
service.

•Ne laissez pas tomber ou ne placez pas d’objets

lourds sur le cordon d’alimentation. Si ce dernier est
endommagé, mettez immédiatement l’appareil hors
tension. Il est dangereux de faire fonctionner cet
appareil avec un cordon endommagé.

•Débranchez l’appareil de la prise murale si vous ne

prévoyez pas de l’utiliser pendant quelques jours ou
plus.

•Débranchez le cordon de la prise secteur en le tirant

par la fiche, ne tirez jamais sur le cordon proprement
dit.

• La prise d’alimentation doit se trouver à proximité

du moniteur et être aisément accessible.

Installation

Nettoyage de la surface du tube
cathodique (PVM-14L4/20L4 seulement)

• La surface du tube cathodique a subi un traitement
de film PET en option.
Pour éviter d’endommager la surface du tube,
nettoyez-la en employant la méthode suivante :

• Passez un chiffon doux sur le tube.
Si le tube est souillé par des traces de gras ou des
empreintes digitales, nettoyez-le à l’aide d’un
chiffon imprégné d’une solution détergente douce.

•N’employez jamais de nettoyants abrasifs, de savon
alcalin, de produits solvants puissants comme
l’alcool ou la benzine, car ils risquent d’endommager
la surface du tube.

•Ne frottez pas la surface du tube avec un objet solide
et ne le heurtez pas.

Entretien

Pour que le moniteur garde l’aspect du neuf, nettoyez­le régulièrement à l’aide d’une solution détergente
neutre. N’utilisez jamais de solvants puissants tels que
du diluant ou de la benzine ou des nettoyants abrasifs
qui risquent d’altérer le fini du châssis. Par mesure de
précaution, débranchez le moniteur avant de le
nettoyer.
