• Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock.
• Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. These ensure reliable operation of the
product and protect it from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered.
• The openings should never be blocked by placing

bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
and the manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to.
• For proper ventilation, separate the product from
other equipment, which may prevent ventilation and
keep distance more than 10 cm.
Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer service to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the product.
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d) If the product operated normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by
the Operation Manual, as an improper adjustment of controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.
Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as

lighters that present special hazards when over heated.
Safety Precautions (cont.)
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or with same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
•Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
• Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords
at doors, plugs, receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the product.
• For added protection of this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to
the product due to lightning and power line surges.
• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
• Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to
prevent shock.
• When connecting other products such as VCR’s and
personal computers, you should turn off the power of
this product for protection against electric shock.
• Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may be hazardous.
The product should be placed more than 30 cm away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
and other products (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

Installation
Precautions
• Before installation, peel the protective film off from the clear panel attached to the front panel.
• When installing the monitor, be sure to use a dedicated stand unit or wall mounting unit, depending on your particular
case. Ask your dealer to install.
• When installing the monitor in a special way (for example, installing it diagonally), consult your dealer.
• Route the power cord and connection cables along the wall or floor corners to avoid walking on them.
• For good heat dissipation, try to leave the following distance of space (minimum) around the monitor (see diagram below).
• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0°C to 40°C (slightly variable depending on
ambient conditions for installation).
• When installing the monitor near the ceiling or similar location, the remote control may not work correctly because of
possible effects, such as reflections, from the surroundings. If this happens, move the monitor where it is free from these
effects.
• Do not install the monitor in such a way that the monitor and other AV equipment affect each other adversely. (For
example, if a disturbed image or noise due to electromagnetic interference occurs, or if the infrared remote control
malfunctions, change the installation place.)

Note for VIDEO IN A (IN, Y/C IN) terminals
When both IN terminal and Y/C IN terminal are used, the input to the Y/C IN terminal has priority.
Note for VIDEO IN B (RGB/COMPO., DVI-D) terminals
Select the correct input for Input B on the main menu (see “INPUT CONFIGURATION” on page 23).
• When RGB signals are input to the RGB/COMPO. terminal: Set “INPUT B” to“ANALOG RGB.”
• When component signals are input to the RGB/COMPO. terminal: Set “INPUT B” to “COMPONENT.”
• When using the DVI-D terminal: Set “INPUT B” to “DVI.”
Note for component signals
• The monitor is compatible only with Y on sync signals. The monitor is not compatible with composite sync (Cs) and
separated sync (HD/VD) signals.
Note for computer signals
• When a signal other than those listed on page 12 is input, part of the picture may not be displayed or an unnecessary
picture may appear.
• Any signal other than those listed on page 12 may not be displayed normally although it’s frequency is within the
acceptable range.
• Depending on the connected equipment, the monitor may not be compatible with composite sync (Cs) or G on sync
signals.
• When a preset mode signal is input, the signal format is displayed on the screen. For other signals, the horizontal frequency
and vertical frequency are displayed.
• The DVI-D terminal can accept only No. 3, 6, 7, 8, and No. 13 signals.
• When the No. 3 and No. 7 signals are input, set“SAMPLING MODE”to “STD” on the set-up menu (see page 31).
• When the No. 4 and No. 8 signals are input, make the following settings:
– Set “SAMPLING MODE” to “WIDE” on the set-up menu (see page 31).
– Change the aspect ratio to “FULL” (see pages 17 and 21).
– Set the video card of the personal computer to“852 x 480”(for No. 4 signal)/“1366 x 768” (for No. 8 signal).
• When No. 12 to No. 15 and No. 19 signals are input, thin lines may become obscured because their signal frequencies are
higher than the screen resolution.
• The adjustment of the screen size and position is the setting common to the No. 10 and No. 18 signals. If you use both
signals by switching them, the adjustment of either signal may not be proper.
