HOW TO USE EXTERNAL
CONTROL
ABOUT EXTERNAL CONTROL
This multi-format monitor has two external control terminals. One is the MAKE terminal, which controls the monitor by connecting
the terminals with many functions to the ground (GND) terminal. The other is the RS-232C terminal, which allows the monitor to
be controlled by a PC via serial communication.
Control priority is in the following order; the MAKE terminal > the RS-232C terminal > the buttons on the front panel.

*1 : OFF stands for disconnection, and ON stands for short-circuit.
*2 : Selects the area marker size from AREA MARKER (setting on the main unit) or AREA MARKER-R (setting on the remote control) setting.
*3 : The STATUS function is activated when the connection to the STATUS terminal is changed (ON to OFF, or OFF to ON). The monitor’s status
is displayed for 3 seconds.
*4 : Setting REMOTE ENABLE to ON enables remote control from the MAKE terminal.

HOW TO USE THE MAKE TERMINAL
Connections
Connect (short-circuit) the 15th terminal (GND) to each of the 1st through 14th terminals in the
3-lines 15-pins D-sub connector. The functions of each terminal are listed below.
Operation
1. Set REMOTE ENABLE to ON.
2. Short-circuit or disconnect the desired terminal.
Changing the Signal Input
1. Set REMOTE ENABLE to ON.
2. Short-circuit the desired INPUT terminal.
3. Disconnect the INPUT terminal selected above. The signal input is actually changed after the disconnection has been
completed.
NOTE :When more than two terminals are selected (short-circuited) from INPUT A through INPUT F, the signal input is not
changed.
To control INPUT A through INPUT F, we recommend using the interlock switch, which turns off a switch when another
switch is turned on.

HOW TO USE THE RS-232C TERMINAL
You can control the monitor from your PC via the RS-232C terminal.
For details on operating the monitor from the PC, consult your dealer or service centre for details.
1. Cable
Prepare a straight cable with a D-sub connector (9-pin, female) and a D-sub
connector (9-pin, male)

C Command for inquiring for the monitor’s status 00 0 ~ 655
During Communication from the PC to the Monitor
The monitor receives the data when DSR remains ON (high) and CTS is set to ON.
During Communication from the Monitor to the PC
The monitor sends the data when both DSR and DCD are set to ON and RTS is set to ON.
Communication Procedures
The following is the communication procedures.
1. Starting the communication
Receives the connection command (!BCN1Cr) from the PC [ Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC
2. Performing the external control
Receives the control command (!XXXXCr) from the PC [ Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC
* The monitor repeats these receiving and sending if necessary.
3. Terminating the communication
Receives the termination command (!BCN0Cr) [ Sends the monitor’s status (@BOKCr) to the PC
* After sending the data to the monitor, the PC must first receive the data from the monitor and then send the next command
because the communication is performed in a hand-shake system. If the PC does not receive the status from the monitor after
sending the command, re-send the command.

Is the monitor placed or moved close to
a speaker or any other device
incorporating a magnet?
Has the position of the monitor been
changed with the power on?
Has the picture position, size or
distortion been changed?
Have the UNDER SCAN or ASPECT
button been pressed?
Has the CONTROL LOCK function
been set to ON?
Has the monitor’s setting been
changed to enable control from an
external unit via the REMOTE
terminals?Measures (Remedy)
Move the device away from the monitor.
Press the DEGAUSS button on the front panel to
degauss the screen.
When degaussing, wait more than 30 minutes for
maximum effect.
Adjust the picture size (H SIZE, V SIZE) or
position (H. POSITION, V. POSITION) in the
[SIZE/POSI. ADJ.] item in the 
screen.
Adjust the picture distortion (PINCUSHION, PIN.
BALANCE, TRAPEZOID and PARALLELOGRAM)
in the [DISTORTION ADJ.] item in the  screen.
It may not be possible to expand the picture due
to the selected input mode. In this case,
adjustment is impossible.
When the UNDER SCAN or ASPECT button is
lit, press each button to invalidate each setting.
Set the CONTROL LOCK function to OFF.
Change the setting of the external control to
control the monitor locally.
The following are not malfunctions:
● You may see two horizontal lines on the monitor. They are
the shadows of the “damper lines” that are necessary for
composing the monitor. These lines are not a malfunction.● When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is
displayed for a long period, it may appear to be coloured.
This is due to the structure of the cathode ray tube and
will disappear when another image is displayed.
● You may sometimes experience a mild electric shock
when you touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is due
to a normal buildup of static electricity on the CRT and is
not harmful.
● The monitor emits a strange sound when the room
temperature changes suddenly. This is only a problem if
an abnormality appears on the screen as well.
● If two or more monitors are operated next to each other,
their images may shake or be distorted. This phenomenon
is due to mutual interference; it is not a malfunction. Move
the monitors away from each other until the interference
disappears or turn the power off on any monitor that is not
being used.
