Precautions

To preserve optimal performance of this equipment

Magnetic Cautions

·Do not place the unit near any objects which generate magnetism. Magnetism will

cause picture bounce, oscillations or picture discoloration.

·The picture may become fuzzy or the colors may not reproduce correctly due to the

Earth’s magnetism. This depends on the direction that the unit is installed. This is not

an equipment failure. In such a case, simply turn off and on or push the DEGAUSS

button to resolve the issue.

For details about the DEGAUSS button, see “DEGAUSS button” on page 8.

Picture Tube Cautions

·For dirt or stains, wipe the surface of the panel gently with a clean soft cloth that has

been lightly dampened with a well-diluted soft detergent and wrung out thoroughly, then

dry it off with a dry cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. Do not spray detergent or other

cleaners directly on the screen.

·The surface of the CRT is easily scratched: therefore, do not rub or touch the surface

of the CRT.

·To prevent damage to the surface of the screen do not use strong solvents such as aerosol

cleaners, alkaline detergents, alcohols, benzene, or thinners.

Cleaning Cautions

·Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning.

·When dusting or polishing the cabinet, use a clean soft cloth dampened with a water-

diluted mild detergent (water: soap = 6:1) and wrung out thoroughly, then wipe dry with

a soft clean cloth. Do not spray detergent or other cleaners directly on unit.

·Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, and other petroleum-based

cleaners.

Features

Resolution

Fine Dot Pitch Shadow Mask provides a center resolution of more than 800 Lines.

Comb Filter

Comb filter removes cross color interference (rainbow phenomenon at letters) and color

noise (color spread) to display crisp and clear images.

Beam current feedback Circuit

The beam current feedback Circuit maintains a constant color temperature over long

periods of time.

2 Color Systems

This unit automatically adjusts to respond appropriately to NTSC and PAL Color Systems.

Input

Analog RGB/Component Input

You can input analog RGB, component signals(Y, Pb, Pr). Pushing the COMPONENT

button at the front panel, then you can select RGB/COMPONENT signal on the OSD

menu.

Y/C Input

You can input brightness signal(Y) and color signal(C) separately to reduce color

spreads or blinking so that you can get clearer images.

The external synchronization signal input can be selected by pushing the EXIT button

when inputting RGB/COMPONENT.

Auto Termination ( )

The Input-Terminal on the rear panel is terminated automatically if it is not connected to an

output-terminal. When it is connected to an output-terminal via a cable, the internal auto

termination is cancelled automatically and the signals inputted at the input-terminal are

looped through to the output-terminal.

SDI Input

You can input SDI signals from video equipment and display these signals by selecting

CVBS/SDI button on the front panel.

Functions
