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 computer signals
• When analog RGB signals are input, part of the picture may not be displayed or an unnecessary picture may appear in the
following cases. Adjust size and position in the “SIZE SETTING”menu (see page 21).
– When a signal other than those listed on page 12 is input
– When the horizontal/vertical frequency of the signal is different though its resolution is the same as that of the signals
listed on page 12
– When the resolution of the signal output from the personal computer is different from that set for the personal
computer’s display.
• 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/vertical
frequency or resolution is displayed.
• The DVI-D terminal can accept only No. 3, 4, 6 – 11, 16, 18, and No. 19 signals.
• When the No. 3 and No. 7 signals are input, set the video card of the personal computer to “640 x 480” (for No. 3 signal)/
“1024 x 768” (for No. 7 signal). For analog RGB input, also set “SAMPLING MODE” to “STD” on the set-up menu (see page 31).
• When the No. 4 and No. 8 signals are input, set the video card of the personal computer to “852 x 480” (for No. 4
signal)/“1366 x 768” (for No. 8 signal). For analog RGB input, also set “SAMPLING MODE” to “WIDE” on the set-up menu (see
page 31), and then change the aspect ratio to “FULL” (see pages 17 and 21).
• When No. 15 to No. 20 and No. 24 signals are input, thin lines may become obscured because their signal frequencies are
higher than the screen resolution.
• When the No. 16 signal is input, set the video card of the personal computer to “1280 x 1024.” For analog RGB input , also set
“SXGA/SXGA+” to “SXGA” on the set-up menu (see page 31).
• When the No. 18 and No. 19 signals are input, set the video card of the personal computer to “1400 x 1050.” For analog RGB
input , also set “SXGA/SXGA+” to “SXGA+”on the set-up menu (see page 31).

CAUTION
• Before making any connections, turn off all the equipment.
• DO NOT connect the power cord until all connections are completed.
• Use a cord whose plugs correctly match the terminals on this monitor and the equipment.
• Plugs should be firmly inserted; poor connections could cause noise.
• When unplugging a cord, be sure to grasp it’s plug and pull it out.
• Refer also to the user manual of each piece of equipment.
