RECOMMENDED RESOLUTION

If the picture does not fill the screen to the edges or if the picture
appears too large for the screen, adjust the resolution to the figures
shown in the menu using your computer. If the input signal
matches one of this monitor’s factory preset modes, the resolution
and refresh rate of the current input signal are displayed.

FLICKER

If the picture is flickering, adjust the refresh rate to figures shown
in the menu. If the input signal matches one of this monitor’s
factory preset modes, the refresh rate of the current input signal is
displayed.

THIN HORIZONTAL LINE

The lines that appear on your screen are damper wires. See
page 13 for more information about the damper wires.

DISTORTED SHAPE

If the shape of the picture on the screen seems distorted, try
adjusting the picture’s geometry. Move the control button

jump directly to the GEOMETRY menu.

OUT OF FOCUS

The picture may seem to be out of focus when the red and blue
color signals are not aligned properly, causing red or blue
shadows to appear around letters and lines. Try adjusting the
picture’s convergence to make the shadows disappear. Move the
control button

menu. When the CONVERGNECE menu is displayed, the
contrast, brightness and moire adjustment settings are
automatically reset for all input signals.

DISCOLORATION

screen, first check for any loose signal cables. After you have
checked the cables, try degaussing (demagnetizing) the screen
manually. Move the control button

Technical Features

Preset and user modes

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. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.)
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 – 85 kHz, vertical: 48 – 120 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.

Note for Windows users

For Windows users, check your video board manual or the utility
program which comes with your graphic board and select the
highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,

NERGY

TAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a

computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically
reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.

“Sleep” and “deep sleep” are power saving modes defined by the
Environmental Protection Agency.

** When your computer is in a power saving mode, MONITOR IS IN

POWER SAVE MODE appears on the screen if you press any button
on the monitor. After a few seconds, the monitor enters the power
saving mode again.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.

If thin lines appear on your screen
(damper wires)

The lines you are experiencing on your screen are normal for the
Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. These are shadows
from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and are
most noticeable when the screen’s background is light (usually
white). 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 no picture appears on the screen, one of the following messages
appears on the screen. To solve the problem, see “Trouble
symptoms and remedies” on page 14.

The input signal condition
OUT OF SCAN RANGE

indicates that the input signal is not supported by the monitor’s
specifications.

NO INPUT SIGNAL

indicates that no signal is input.

MONITOR IS IN POWER SAVE MODE

indicates that the computer is in power saving mode. This
message is displayed only when your computer is in a power
saving mode and you press any one of the buttons on the monitor.
