Page 15

Damper wire

Using a white background, a very thin horizontal line on the screen may be visible as shown below. This line is the damper wire.

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.

The damper wire is attached to the Aperture Grille to prevent vibration of the Aperture Grille wire so that the screen image is constantly stable.

Graphic Picture Enhancement (GPE)

Available GPE modes

Graphic Picture Enhancement is a function designed for your viewing comfort.

There are four GPE modes: AUTO, MODE 1, MODE 2 and OFF. The default setting is "AUTO."

AUTO mode

This mode is effective only with "IntelliLight" compatible applications. When an image playback window with "IntelliLight" coding appears on the screen, the display senses the exact location and size of the window and applies a higher brightness and sharpness effect to images inside the window, while the rest of the screen remains at standard picture quality. For inquiries about "IntelliLight" and compatible software, check Sony's web site (www.ita.sel.sony.com) or call Sony Technical Support (1-888-4SONYPC).

"IntelliLightIM" is a trademark of Sony Electronics Inc.

✓ Note on the AUTO mode

If one of the four corners of the "intelliLight" window is covered or if the window goes beyond the screen border, the GPE effect turns off.

🔊 Tip

You can adjust the picture contrast or brightness of the screen outside of the "IntelliLight" window. The "IntelliLight" window always remains clear and sharp regardless of the adjustments made to the rest of the screen.

MODE 1

Higher contrast is applied across the entire screen. MODE 1 is designed to enhance still image presentations.

V Note on MODE 1

Whenever the screen resolution is changed, power saving activated, or power turned off, MODE 1 is cancelled and GPE returns to the AUTO mode.

Page 32

MODE 2

Higher contrast and sharpness is applied across the entire screen. MODE 2 is designed to enhance graphic games and movie/video presentations.

Note on MODE 2

Whenever the screen resolution is changed, power saving activated, or power turned off, MODE 2 is cancelled and GPE returns to the AUTO mode.

🕲 Tip

MODE 2 may produce ghost images when displaying text oriented applications. In this case, select the AUTO or OFF mode.

GPE OFF mode

Screen sharpness and brightness are set to standard quality without any additional enhancements. This mode is suited for text-based applications.

Power Saving Function

This display meets the power saving guidelines set by the International ENERGY STAR Program. It is capable of reduced power consumption when used with a computer equipped with Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS). By sensing the absence of the sync signal coming from the computer, it will reduce the power consumption as follows:

The Power Saving function will automatically put the display into Deep Sleep mode if the power switch is turned on without any vertical or horizontal sync signal from the computer. Once the horizontal and vertical syncs are sensed, the display will automatically return to its Normal Operation mode. Note that the power saving function may not work properly if the video signal contains a "Sync on Green" signal.

Troubleshooting

This section may help you isolate a problem and as a result, eliminate the need to contact technical support, allowing continued productivity.

No picture

If the ① indicator is not lit

  • → Check that the power cord is properly connected.
  • → Check that the ① switch is in the "on" position.

If the "NO INPUT SIGNAL" message appears on the screen, or if the ① indicator is either orange or alternating between green and orange

  • → 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.

If the "OUT OF SCAN RANGE" message appears on the screen

  • → Check that the video frequency is within that specified for the display. Horizontal: 30 – 70 kHz 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.

If no message is displayed and the ① indicator is green or flashing orange

→ See "Self-diagnosis function" (Back cover).

No sound from speaker

If the * indicator is displayed

  • → Press the ® button to cancel muting.
  • → Check that the audio plug is properly connected.
  • → Adjust the volume with → +/- buttons.
  • → Check that the headphones are not connected.
  • Check the volume control, muting, sound selector, etc. of the sound board. (See the computer's manual.)
Microphone mixing is not possible

  • → Check that the MIC plug is properly connected.
  • Check the microphone control, sound selector, etc. of the sound board. (See the computer's manual.)

Howling (feedback) is heard

→ Decrease the volume with → +/- buttons, or turn down the microphone input volume of the sound board.

Picture is scrambled

  • → Check your computer manual for the proper display setting.
  • → Check this manual and confirm that the graphic mode and the frequency you are trying to operate 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 display to sync correctly.
Color is not uniform

→ Degauss the display (page 28).

If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a speaker, near the display, or you change the direction of the display, 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.

Screen image is not centered or sized properly

  • → Adjust the size or centering (pages 22, 23).
  • → Some video modes do not fill the screen to the edge. This problem tends to occur with certain video boards.
Edges of the image are curved

→ Adjust the geometry (page 24).

Lines or letters show red or blue shadows at edges

→ Adjust the convergence (page 26).

Picture is fuzzy

  • → Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 21). Some brands of video boards have an excessive video output level which creates a fuzzy picture at maximum contrast.
  • → Degauss the display (page 28).

If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field, such as a speaker, near the display, or you change the direction of the display, 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 moiré is cancelled, the picture may become fuzzy. Decrease the moiré cancellation effect (page 27).
  • → If the GPE mode is set to AUTO, change it to OFF (page 33).
Page 38
Picture bounces or has wavy oscillations

  • → Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields. Common causes for this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent lighting, laser printers, etc.
  • → If you have another display close to this display, increase the distance between them to reduce interference.
  • → Try plugging the display into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
Picture is flickering

  • → Set the refresh rate on the computer to obtain the best possible picture by referring to your computer's manual.
  • → If the GPE mode is set to AUTO, change it to OFF (page 33).
Picture appears to be ghosting

  • → Eliminate the use of video extensions and/or video switch boxes if this symptom occurs. Excessive cable length or weak connections can produce this symptom.
  • → If the GPE mode is set to AUTO, change it to OFF (page 33).
  • → If the GPE mode is set to MODE 2, the picture may appear to be ghosting. Set to another GPE mode (page 33).
Wavy or elliptical (moiré) pattern is visible

  • → Cancel the moiré (page 27). The moiré may be modified depending on the connected computer.
  • → Due to the relationship between resolution, display dot pitch and the pitch of some image patterns, certain screen backgrounds sometimes show moiré. Change your desktop pattern.
IntelliLight does not work

  • → Check that all four corners of the "IntelliLight" window are clearly displayed and are not covered by another window.
  • → Check that the GPE mode is set to AUTO (page 33).
  • → Leave the display's power "on" and reboot your computer.
  • → IntelliLight does not work correctly with an interlaced video mode. Check the vertical refresh rate in the Properties window of Windows 95/98 and select a non-interlaced mode.
Tiny color bars appear in the corners of the IntelliLight window

  • → Set the GPE mode to AUTO (page 33).
  • → Check that all four corners of the "IntelliLight" window are clearly displayed and are not covered by another window.
Page 39
A fine horizontal line (wire) is visible

→ This wire stabilizes the vertically striped Aperture Grille (page 16). This Aperture Grille allows more light to pass through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more color and brightness.

Hum is heard right after the power is turned on

  • → When the power is turned on, the Auto-degauss cycle is activated. While the Auto-degauss cycle is activated, a hum may be heard. The same hum is heard when the display is manually degaussed. This is not a malfunction.
  • If the problem persists, call your authorized Sony dealer from a location near you, or call Sony Technical Support at 1-888-4SONYPC (1-888-476-6972).
  • Note the model name and the serial number of your display. Also note the make and name of your computer and video board.

Self-diagnosis function

This display is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. Use this function if there is a problem with your display or computer.

  • 1. Disconnect the video input cable or turn off the connected computer.
  • 2. Turn the display off and on.
  • 3. Press and hold the I button for more than 2 seconds.

If all four color bars appear (white, red, green, blue) after a few seconds, the display is working properly, but there might be a problem with your computer. Contact your computer's manufacturer.

If the color bars do not appear, there might be a problem with the display. Contact your local authorized Sony dealer, or call Sony Technical Support at 1-888-4SONYPC (1-888-476-6972).
