Precaution

flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.

On Safety

• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified in the

“Specifications” section.

• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located on the

rear panel.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug

the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord. If the

power cord is damaged, turn off the power immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cord.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for

several days or more.

• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by grasping the

plug, not by pulling the cord.

• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and

shall be easily accessible.

On Installation

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up.

Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.

• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as

radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

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 unit by a window.

• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do not place

a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.

• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a residual

image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to normal.

• If a fixed picture such as a frame of a divided picture or time

code, or a still picture is displayed for a long time, an image may remain on the screen and be superimposed as a ghosting image.

• The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation.

This is not a malfunction.

About the Fluorescent Tube

A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the lighting apparatus for this unit. If the LCD screen becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, consult your Sony dealer.

On Cleaning

Before cleaning

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

On cleaning the monitor screen

The monitor screen surface is especially treated to reduce reflection of light. As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of the monitor, take care with respect to the following:

• Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.

• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly dampened with water.

• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.

On cleaning the cabinet

• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a soft dry cloth.

• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.

• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet may be scratched.

• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

On Repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container which to transport the unit.

Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel

The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least

99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or

On Mounting on a Rack

Leave 1U space empty above and below the monitor to ensure adequate air circulation or install a fan to maintain the monitor’s performance.

If you have any questions about this unit, contact your authorized Sony dealer.

Precaution

On Replacing the Parts

Note that if service personnel changes some parts during repair, these parts may be retained.
