1Important Safety Instructions
Please read the following safety instructions before installing or cleaning your
Diamond View monitor:
1. This monitor must be operated from the type of power source indicated
on the rating label. If you are not sure of the type of power available in
your area, consult your dealer or local electricity supply company.
2. This monitor must be operated with a 3 wire electrical cable that has a
plug with a third (grounding) pin. The plug must only be connected to a
grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to make the
necessary outlet changes. Australian and New Zealand customers
should use the power cable supplied with the monitor.
3. Make sure that the power outlet that you plug the monitor into is easily
accessible.
4. Unplug the monitor’s power cable from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft cloth to clean the
monitor housing and screen.
5. Slots and openings on the back or top of the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. They must not be blocked or covered. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or other heat source, or in a
built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
6. Never push objects of any kind, or spill liquid of any kind into the
monitor.
7. Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Removing
the cover of the monitor may void warranty.
8. If any abnormal operation or an accident (such as dropping the unit)
occurs, disconnect the monitor from the wall power outlet and contact
qualified service personnel.

3Unpacking the Monitor
Please check that the following items are included with your monitor. If they
are missing or damaged, please contact your place of purchase immediately.
♦Monitor with attached signal cable
♦Power cord
♦User’s manual
Locate the model name and the serial number label on the back of your
monitor and write the details of the monitor and your place of purchase in the
space on page (ii) of this manual for future reference.
4Installation
Your monitor is equipped with an automatic power supply with a voltage
range from 100 to 240 Volts AC at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz.
To install your Diamond View 1995SL monitor:
1. Make sure that the computer
system’s power is turned off.
2. Connect the power cord to the
monitor and attach it to a power
socket.

4
3. Connect the computer end of the D-
SUB cable to the 15-pin output
connector on the video board of your
computer.
4. Turn the monitor and the computer
on.
If you wish to connect the monitor to an older-type Apple Macintosh, you
need to use a Macintosh cable adapter to connect the video signal cable of
your monitor to the video port of the computer. Your computer dealer should
be able to supply you with a suitable adaptor.
Drivers for Windows 95, 98, 2000 and Millennium Edition
Windows will detect the Diamond View 1995SL monitor the first time you turn
the computer on after installing it. The Add New Hardware wizard will prompt
for drivers. Install the standard Windows Plug & Play Monitor driver. This
driver will work correctly and allow you to use the monitor with its optimal
resolutions and refresh rates.
A specific driver that includes the Windows ICC/ICM colour profile for the
Diamond View 1995SL is available from Mitsubishi Electric Australia’s web
site at
http://www.mitsubishi-electric.com.au
Follow the link to the File Downloads/Monitors section of the site to download
the drivers. Installation instructions are also available from at the monitor
driver page.

6Troubleshooting
If you encounter any trouble using the Diamond View 1995SL monitor, make
sure that your monitor is properly installed. (For hardware installation, see
Chapter 4 of this manual.) If the problems persist, please check this chapter
for possible solutions before calling Mitsubishi Electric or one of our
Authorised Service Centres.
No image is displayed
-Check that the light (LED) next to the monitor’s power button is lit and
is green in colour.
-If the LED is orange there is no signal from the computer and the
monitor is in power saving mode. Check that the computer is switched
on. Press a button on the computer keyboard or move the mouse to
wake the computer. If that does not help, check that the VGA cable is
securely plugged into the computer. Also check the pins of the VGA
cable’s connector. If any pins are bent or broken off, then contact your
dealer.
-If the LED is not lit at all, check that the monitor is plugged into the
power socket and that the power switch is turned on at the wall. Check
that the monitor’s power switch is also turned on.
-Video sync signal. The video sync signal from the graphics card must
be as specified for the monitor.
The picture is scrolling or unstable.
-The most common cause of this problem is a loose VGA signal cable
or connector. Check that the cable is securely connected to the
computer.
-Check the VGA signal cable for damage. If any pins are bent or
broken off, contact your dealer or an authorised Mitsubishi Electric
service agent.
-Make sure that the graphics card settings are correct and within the
monitor’s specifications. Change the settings of your graphics card to
values within the monitor’s range.

14
-Remove any magnetic objects that are near the monitor. These
include speakers and power supplies ( AC adaptors ).
Colours are impure.
-Check that the cable is securely connected to the computer.
-Check the VGA signal cable for damage. If any pins are bent or
broken off, contact your dealer or an authorised Mitsubishi Electric
service agent (see Chapter 11 for details).
-Check the monitor’s colour settings. Press the Enter button and select
the Color Settings menu. Select the Recall menu item to return to the
factory preset colours and press Enter.
-Degauss the monitor using the degauss function of the monitor’s On
Screen Display.
-Remove any objects that can create a magnetic field that may be
near the monitor. These include speakers and power supplies (AC
adaptors ).
The image is blurred or there is visible ghosting
-Have you used a VGA extension cable? If so, remove the extension
cable and check the displayed image. Is the image quality improved?
Depending on the characteristics and type of the extension cable,
some blurring or distortion may occur due to conduction the extension
cable. You can minimise these losses by using an extension cable
with better conduction quality.
-Have you used a VGA splitter or a video amplifier? Depending on the
characteristics and type of the splitter or amplifier some blurring or
distortion may occur due to the limitations of the device’s bandwidth.
Problems caused by a limited bandwidth will increase as the signal’s
resolution and refresh rate increased. If you need to use a splitter or
amplifier with you monitor, make sure that it is a good quality device
that has sufficient bandwidth for the graphics resolution that you need
to use.
