NOTE:
»When set to “Enlarge” (i.e. with a “2 × 2” or “3 × 3” setting), the screen size is fixed in “Full” mode.
»When using the screen size selection function of this monitor, the appearance of the original video may change if
you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original image (i.e. TV broadcast or video input from
an external device). Please consider this point when selecting the screen size.
»Using this monitor’s screen size switching function to compress or expand the screen for commercial or public
viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of creators, as protected by Copyright
Law, so please be careful.
»When ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen size switching function of
this monitor, the edge of the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the creator’s intensions,
set the screen size to “Normal”.
»When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) image may be cropped. In this case select
the optimal screen size using “Wide Mode” and adjust the vertical position (see “Position” on page 55). With
some software, there may be noise or distortion at the edges or top of the screen. This is due to the
characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.
»Depending on the original image size (i.e. CinemaScope size), black bands may remain at the top and bottom of
the screen.
When operating from Menu screen:
1Press MENU and the MENU screen displays.
2Press \/| to select “Option”.
3Press '/" to select “Wide Mode”, and then press ENTER.

Troubleshooting
and Specifications
Before calling for repair services, make sure following checks for possible remedies to the
encountered symptoms.
There is no picture or
sound.
Problem Check itemPage
»Is the AC cord disconnected?
»Is the Main POWER turned off or is the monitor in
standby mode?
»Make sure external devices are connected properly.
»Make sure correct INPUT is selected.
»Make sure the connected external device is operating
(playing back).
»Are the batteries inserted with polarity (
±, —) aligned?
»Are the batteries worn out?
»Point the remote control toward the monitor’s remote
control sensor.
»Is Control lock activated?
»Are audio cables connected properly?
»
Make sure audio cables for external speakers are
connected properly: left and right cables may be
reversed or one of the two cables may not be connected.
»The monitor speaker output is monaural.
»Make sure the volume is not set to minimum.
»
S-video, COMPONENT-video and RGB terminals are for
video only. Make sure audio cables are also connected.
»Is the audio corresponding to the selected image being
input?
»Is audio output when monitor speaker output is set to
“On”? If so, the problem is located subsequent to the
external speaker output terminal. If not, the problem is in
the input terminal or settings.
»Check “Color” and “Tint” adjustments.
»When using INPUT3 input, make sure the connection
sequence is correct.
Remote control does not work.
Sound from left and right
speakers is reversed.

»If monitors are chained, make sure connection between
terminals are correct. (The side closer to the PC should
be RS-232C INPUT, and the side further from the PC
should be RS-232C OUTPUT.)
»Make sure the command is correct.
»Did you enter carriage return code (0D

Troubleshooting (Continued)

Warning when temperature rises
Nature of warning:
∫ “Temperature” flashes at the lower right corner of the screen. The monitor automatically enters standby
mode if temperature continues to rise.
Solution:
∫ If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in temperature, you can turn on the power on again in
the usual way using the remote control or buttons on the monitor. However the monitor will enter standby
mode again if the cause of the temperature rise is not eliminated.
∫ Check whether the monitor is placed at a location where a quick rise in temperature is likely. Internal
temperature rises quickly if the vents on the back are blocked.
∫ Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates inside the monitor or around the vents. Remove
dust if possible. Ask your dealer about removing internal dust.
Cracking sound
The monitor sometimes makes a cracking sound.
»You may hear cracking sound from the monitor. This happens when the cabinet slightly
expands and contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the
monitor’s performance.OK
CRACK !
