Introduction
Congratulations on vour purchase of a Sony Multiscan
100E5/200E5!
This monitor incorporates over 25 years of Sony experience
with Trinitron display technology, ensuring excellent
performance and outstanding reliability. The Multiscan
100ES/200ES's wide scan range (30 - 70 kHz), together with
Digital Multiscan Technology, allows it to sync to any video
mode from standard VGA through VESA 1024 x 768 at 85
Hz.
Precautions
Installation
e Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air
circulation. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilation holes.
e Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators
or air ducts, nor in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
e Do not place the unit near equipment which generates
magnetism, such as a converter or high voltage power
lines.
Maintenance
e Clean the cabinet, glass panel and controls with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.
e Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with
sharp or abrasive items, like a ball point pen or a screw
driver. This type of contact may result in a scratched
picture tube. -

e Before disconnecting the power cord, wait for at least
30 seconds after turning off the power switch to allow for
the discharging of static electricity on the CRT display
surface.
e After the power has been turned on, the CRT is
demagnetized for approximately 5 seconds. This generates
a strong magnetic field around the bezel which may affect
the data stored on magnetic tape or disks near the bezel.
Place such magnetic recording equipment and tapes/disks
at a distance from this unit.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.

Entering New Timings
When using a video mode that is not one of the factory
preset modes, some fine tuning may be required to optimize
the display to your preferences. Simply adjust the monitor
according to the preceding adjustment instructions. The
adjustments will be stored automatically and recalled
whenever that mode is used.
A total of 8 user-defined modes can be stored in memory.
If the 9th mode is entered, it will replace the first.
Power Saving Function
This monitor meets the power saving guidelines set by the
International ENERGY STAR Program as well as the more
stringent TCO92 803299 (NUTEK) guidelines. It is capable
of reduced power consumption when used with a computer
equipped with Display Power Management Signaling
(DPMS). By sensing the absence of the sync signal coming
from the computer, it will reduce the power consumption as
follows:
CAUTION: The Power Saving function will automatically
put the monitor into Active-off state if the power
switch is turned on without any video signal
input. Once the horizontal and vertical syncs are
sensed, the monitor will automatically return to
its Normal operation state.

Plug and Play
This monitor complies with DDC™1 and DDC2B, which are
the Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of VESA.
When a DDCI host system is connected, the monitor
synchronizes with the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA
standards and outputs the EDID (Extended Display
Identification Data) to the data line.
When a DDC2B host system is connected, the monitor
automatically switches to the DDC2B communication.
DDC"M is a trademark of the Video Electronics Standard
Association.
Use of the Tilt-Swivel
With the tilt-swivel, this unit can be adjusted to be viewed at
your desired angle within 180° horizontally and 20° vertically.
To turn the unit vertically and horizontally, hold it at its
bottom with both hands.
Damper Wire
Using a white background, very thin horizontal stripes on
the screen are visible as shown on the illustration. These
stripes are damper wires: These wires are attached to the
aperture grille inside the Trinitron tube and are there to
dampen vibrations of the aperture grille in order to prevent
them from influencing the picture quality.

Picture is scrambled
=» Check your graphics board manual for the
proper monitor setting on your Multiscan 100ES/
200ES.
=> Check this manual and confirm that the graphic
mode and the frequency at which you are trying
to operate is supported. Even within the proper
range some video boards may have a sync pulse
that is too narrow for the monitor to sync
correctly.
Color is not uniform
i =» If the monitor is close to any potential sources of
magnetic fields such as a speaker, or you turn the
monitor while the © POWER switch is in the
` “ON” position, color may not be uniform. Trip
the © POWER switch once to activate the Auto-
degauss cycle*.
Picture is flickering
= If the refresh rate is not appropriate, the picture
may flicker. Set the refresh rate of the
non-interlace mode as high as possible on the
computer. For detailes on how to set the refresh
rate, consult the dealer of your computer or
video board.

Screen image is not centered or sized properly
=> Adjust the “CENTER,” “SIZE,” or “GEOMETRY”
on the OSD (pages 5, 6).
=> Some video modes do not fill the screen to the
edge of the monitor. There is no single answer to
solve the problem. There is a tendency to have
this problem on higher refresh timings and
Macintosh video timings.
Picture is fuzzy
=> Adjust the “CONTRAST” and “BRIGHTNESS”
on the OSD (page 5). We have come across
several brands of SVGA boards that have an
excessive video output level which creates a
fuzzy picture at max contrast.
=> Trip the ( POWER switch once to activate the
Auto-degauss cycle*.
Picture bounces or has wavy oscillations
=> Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of
electric or magnetic fields. Common causes for
this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent
lighting, laser printers, and so on.
=» If you have another monitor close to this
monitor, increase the distance between them to
reduce the interference.
=> Try plugging the monitor into a different AC
outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
=> Try the monitor on a completely different
computer in a different room.
Picture appears to be ghosting
=> Eliminate the use of video cable extension cables
and/or video switch boxes if this symptom
occurs. Excessive cable length or weak
connections can produce this symptom.
A fine horizontal line (wire) is visible
=> This wire stabilizes the vertically striped
Aperture Grille (page 8). This Aperture Grille
allows more light to pass through to the screen
giving the Trinitron CRT more color and
brightness.
Wavy or elliptical (moire) pattern is visible
=» Due to the relationship between resolution,
monitor AG pitch and the pitch of some image
patterns, certain screen backgrounds, especially
gray, sometimes show moire. This can only be
eliminated by changing your desktop pattern.
Just after tufning the monitor on, a “boon” noise is heard
=> Just after turning the monitor on, a noise may be
heard for about 3 seconds.
This noise is not failure, it is caused by the Auto-
degauss cycle*.
* The Auto-degauss function demagnetizes the metal frame of
the CRT to obtain a neutral field for uniform color
reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a
minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result.
e If the problem persists, call your authorized Sony dealer from
a location near your monitor.
e Note the model name and the serial number of your monitor.
Also note the make and name of your computer and video
board.
