WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not ex-
pose the unit to rain or moisture.
This symbol is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the prod-
uct’s enclosure that may be of suffi-
cient magnitude to constitute arisk of
electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompa-
nying the appliance.
INFORMATION
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in
strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions,
may cause interference to radio and television recep-
tion. It has been type tested and found to comply with
the limits for aClass Bcomputing device in accordance
with the specifications in Subpart Jof Part 15 of FCC
Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against such interference in aresidential installa-
tion. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in aparticular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures
;
Reorient the receiving antenna
Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver
Move the equipment away from the receiver
Plug the equipment into adifferent outlet so that
equipment and receiver are on different branch cir-
cuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an ex-
perienced radio/television technician for additional sug-
gestions. The user may find the following booklet
prepared by the Federal Communications Commission
helpful
;
“How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Pro-
blems’’.
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Prin-
ting Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No.
004-000-00345-4.
For the customers in Canada
This apparatus complies with the Class Blimits for radio
noise emissions set out in Radio interference Regulations.

This manual covers the following two models:
P\/M-2030: 20 inch picture tube
PVM-2530: 25 inch picture tube
The function and the appearance are the same. Any
difference will be clearly described in this manual.

OUTLINE
High-resolution picture
The Fine Pitch Trinitron picture tube, whose aperture grill
pitch is 0.55 mm (PVM-2030) or 0.73 mm (PVM-2530), gives a
high resolution (composite: 560 TV lines, RGB: 2000
characters) picture.
Analog/digital RGB input
Analog RGB and digital RGB input signals can be fed to the
RGB input connector (25-pin multi connector), which allow a
microcomputer to be connected to this monitor.
New Dynamic Color7M
If the color temperature is set to obtain “bluish white”, the
skin tone becomes unnatural. New Dynamic Color™ allows
bluish white and natural skin tone to be obtained by
controlling the amplitude of the RGB signals.
Colorpure filterTM
Fine picture detail without color spill or color noise is
obtained through the comb filter. The notches which form
along the horizontal contour can be eliminated through a
combination of the comb and other filters.
SVIDEO connector
The video signal from aVTR js composed of the
chrominance (Q signal and the luminance signal (Y). In a
composite video signal, these two signals are combined,
which reduces the video quality because the combined
signals tend to interfere with each other. However, when
input to the SVIDEO connector instead of the BNC
connectors or VTR connector, the composite video signal is
split into its component signals, thus eliminating the
problem of interference and assuring the video quality.
Powerful sound
The powerful hi-fi sound (15 W-h 15 W/8 ohms) is obtained
through the 2-way speakers (optional).
Touch panel control
When adjustment is needed, an orange indicator on the
touch panel controller lights up.
Control S
The CONTROL Ssignal allows remote control of several
monitors and aVTR through asingle monitor.
PRECAUTIONS
•Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical
with the voltage of your local power supply.
•Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for
several days or more.
•To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.
Oiilns|al|at|on
•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the
ventilation holes.
•Do not install the unit in alocation near heat sources such
as radiators or air ducts, or in aplace subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it with
asoft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with acloth
lightly dampened with amild detergent solution. Never use
strong solvents such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive
cleansers since these will damage the cabinet. As asafety
precaution, unplug the unit before cleaning it.
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They
make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When
shipping the unit to another location, repack it as illustrated
on the carton.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
