Precautions
Warning on power connections
Use an appropriate power cord for your local power supply.
•Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds
after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the
screen’s surface to discharge.
•After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized
(degaussed) for a few seconds. This generates a strong
magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored
on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to
keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away
from the monitor.
Installation
Do not install the monitor in the following places:
•on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes
•near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight
•in a place subject to severe temperature changes
•in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock
•on an unstable surface
•near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a
transformer or high voltage power lines
•near or on an electrically charged metal surface
Maintenance
•Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning
liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static
solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s
coating.
•Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or
abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.
•Clean the cabinet, 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
benzene.
Transportation
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the
original carton and packing materials.
Use of the tilt-swivel
This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown below. To
find the center of the monitor’s turning radius, align the center of
the monitor’s screen with the centering dot on the stand.
Hold the monitor at the bottom with both hands when you turn it
horizontally or vertically. Be careful not to pinch your fingers at
the back of the monitor when you tilt the monitor up vertically.

6500K), you must set your computer to the sRGB profile. If you
select this mode, you cannot operate the CONTRAST/BRIGHT
menu adjustments.
Note
Your computer and other connected products (such as a printer), must be
sRGB compliant.
Restoring the color from the EASY, PRESET, or
sRGB modes (IMAGE RESTORATION)
The colors of most display monitors tend to gradually lose
brilliance over several years of service. The IMAGE
RESTORATION feature found in the EASY, PRESET, and
sRGB menus allows you to restore the color to the original factory
quality levels. The explanation below explains how to restore the
monitor’s color from the EASY mode for example.
First, select the EASY, PRESET, or sRGB mode in the OPTION
menu (page 12).
1Press the MENU button.
The menu appears on the screen.
2Move the control button up or down to highlight
COLOR and press the control button.
The COLOR menu appears on the screen.
3Move the control button up or down to highlight
IMAGE RESTORATION. Then press the control
button.
4Move the control button up or down to select OK.
Then press the control button.
The picture disappears while the color is being restored (about
2 seconds). After the color is restored, the picture reappears
on the screen again.
Notes
•Before using this feature, the monitor must be in normal operation
mode (green power indicator on) for at least 30 minutes. If the monitor
goes into power saving mode, you must return the monitor to normal
operation mode and wait for 30 minutes for the monitor to be ready.
You may need to adjust your computer’s power saving settings to keep
the monitor in normal operation mode for the full 30 minutes. If the
monitor is not ready, the following message will appear.
•The monitor may gradually lose its ability to perform this function due
to the natural aging of the picture tube.

Technical Features
Preset mode timing table
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of
the screen. For input signals that do not match one of the factory
preset modes, the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor
ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in
the monitor’s frequency range (horizontal: 30 –130 kHz, vertical:
48 –170 Hz). If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is
stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the
same input signal is received.
Preset mode timing table
Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If no signal is input to the
monitor from your computer, the monitor will automatically
reduce power consumption as shown below.
* When your computer enters power saving mode, the input signal is cut
and NO SIGNAL appears on the screen before the monitor enters active
off mode. After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.
**“Deep sleep”is power saving mode defined by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
If thin lines appear on your screen
(damper wires)
The visible lines on your screen especially when the background
screen color is light (usually white), are normal for the Trinitron
monitor. This is not a malfunction. These are shadows from the
damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille. The aperture
grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron picture tube
unique by allowing more light to reach the screen, resulting in a
brighter, more detailed picture.
On-screen messages
If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the
following messages appears on the screen.
If NO SIGNAL appears in section 1
This indicates that no signal is input from the selected connector.

Use the self-diagnosis function (page 19) if the following recommendations do not resolve the problem.
Symptom Check these items
No picture
If the !(power) indicator is not lit •Check that the power cord is properly connected.
•Check that the !(power) switch is in the “on”position.
If the NO SIGNAL message appears
on the screen, or if the
!(power) indicator is amber
•Check that the video signal cable is properly connected and all plugs are firmly seated in
their sockets (page 5).
•Check that the INPUT switch setting is correct (page 6).
•Check that the video input connector’s pins are not bent or pushed in.
xProblems caused by the connected computer or other equipment
•The computer is in power saving mode. Try pressing any key on the keyboard or moving
the mouse.
•Check that the computer’s power is “on.”
•Check that the graphic board is completely seated in the proper bus slot.
If the OUT OF SCAN RANGE
message appears on the screen
xProblems caused by the connected computer or other equipment
•Check that the video frequency range is within that specified for the monitor. If you
replaced an old monitor with this monitor, reconnect the old monitor and adjust the
frequency range to the following.
Horizontal: 30 –130 kHz
Vertical: 48
– 170 Hz
If no message is displayed and the
!(power) indicator is green or
flashing amber
•Use the Self-diagnosis function (page 19).
Picture flickers, bounces,
oscillates, or is scrambled
•Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields such as other
monitors, laser printers, fluorescent lighting, televisions, or electric fans.
•Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near the monitor.
•Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
•Try turning the monitor 90°to the left or right.
xProblems caused by the connected computer or other equipment
•Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.
•Confirm that the graphics mode and the frequency of the input signal are supported by this
monitor (Technical Features). Even if the frequency is within the proper range, some
graphics boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.
•Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture.
Picture is fuzzy •Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 8).
•Degauss the monitor* (page 11).
•Adjust the degree of moire cancellation until the moire is minimal, or set CANCEL
MOIRE to OFF (page 11).
* If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result. A humming noise may be heard, but this is not a
malfunction.
