This instruction manual covers the PVM-90440M,
PVM-9041QM and PVM-9040ME. The differences among
the models are clearly described in the text.
Precautions
100 — 240 V AC or 12 V DC. For the AC operation, use
only the supplied AC power cord or the AC power adaptor
recommended (not supplied). Do not use any other type.
For the battery operation, use only the NP-1A/1B battery
pack (not supplied). Do not use any other baiteries.
e PVM-9040ME: Operate the unit only on 100 ~ 240 V AC.
Use only the supplied AC power cord. Do not use any
other type.
¢ Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it further.
e Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used
for several days.
¢ To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.
Ee Se nee
e 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 near heat sources such as radiators
or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
e Keep the unit away from a loudspeaker or motor, as the
picture may be affected.

Features
(PvM-9044aMo041 QM only}
The monitor can display PAL, SECAM, NTSCa.se and
NTSC«.43* signals. The appropriate color system is selected
automatically.
* A signal of NTSCa.3 is used for playing back NTSC recorded
video cassettes with a video tape recorder/player especially
designed for use with this system.
(PVM -90440M only)
The Super Fine Pitch Trinitron picture tube provides a high
resolution picture. Horizontal resolution is more than 450 TV
lines at the center of the picture.
‘eva o0aAGuaeoal QM only)
The picture can be displayed in blue and black only. This
facilitates hue adjustment and the observation of video
noise.
(PVM-9044QM/9041 QM only)
Analog RGB or component (Y, R-Y and B-Y) signals from
video equipment can be input through these connectors.
The video signal, split into the chrominance selon (C) and
the luminance signal (Y), can be input through this
connector, eliminating the interference between the two
signals, which tends to occur in a composite video signal,
assuring video quality.
The built-in — current feedback circuit assures Batic
white balance.
When NTSC video signals are received, a comb filter
activates to increase the resolution, resulting in fine picture
detail without color spill or color noise.
The Y/C, VIDEO IN and EXT SYNC IN* connectors are
terminated at 75 ohms inside, when no cable is connected
to the loop-through output connectors. When a cable is
connected to an output connector, the 75-ohm termination is
automatically released.
* The EXT SYNC IN connector is provided with the
PVM-9044QM/9041QM only.
By using an n MB- 507 7 iutrg packet trot supplied), the
monitor can be mounted in an EIA standard 19-inch rack.
For details on mounting, see the instruction manual of the
MB-507.
