How to Install the Monitor
Mounting precautions
•  Since the monitor is heavy, consult your dealer before installing, removing or moving the monitor.
•  When installing, removing or moving the monitor, ensure 
that this is carried out by at least 2 people.
•  When moving the monitor, be sure to hold it with the 
handles both on the rear and the unit bottom. Do not hold 
the LCD panel. This may cause product damage, failure, or 
injury.
•  Install the monitor with the surface perpendicular to a  level surface. If necessary, limit the tilt between 0 and 20 
degrees downward.
•  Mounting the monitor on the wall requires special expertise  and the work must be performed by an authorised SHARP 
dealer. You should never attempt to perform any of this 
work yourself. Our company will bear no responsibility 
for accidents or injuries caused by improper mounting or 
mishandling.
•  This monitor should be used at an ambient temperature 
between 0°C and 40°C. Provide enough space around the 
monitor to prevent heat from accumulating inside.
Unit: cm

  If it is difficult to provide such space because the monitor is 
installed inside a housing or for other reasons, take other 
measures to keep the ambient temperature between  
0°C and 40°C such as installing a fan in the housing.
•  Do not block any ventilation openings. If the temperature 
inside the monitor rises, this could lead to a malfunction.
•  After mounting, it is recommended to take some measures 
to prevent the monitor from falling down. Secure the 
monitor by fastening the hooks at the top of the monitor to a 
wall or a pillar with strong cord and brackets (not included).
•  Do not place the monitor on a device which generates heat.
•   This monitor is fixed to the temporary stand when shipped  from the factory. Please note that this stand is for temporary 
use only until the monitor is properly mounted.
•  Be sure to use a stand or a wall-mount bracket designed or  designated for mounting the monitor.
•  This monitor is designed to be installed on a concrete wall  or pillar. Reinforced work might be necessary for some 
materials such as plaster / thin plastic board / wood before 
starting installation. 
This monitor and bracket must be installed on a wall which 
can endure at least 4 times or more the weight of the 
monitor. Install by the most suitable method for the material 
and the structure.

Connecting Peripheral Equipment
Caution
•  Be sure to turn off the main power switch and disconnect 
the plug from the power outlet before connecting/
disconnecting cables. Also, read the manual of the 
equipment to be connected.
•  Be careful not to mix up the input terminal with the output 
terminal when connecting cables. Mixing up the input and 
output terminals may cause malfunctions and the other 
problems.
Connection with a PC
PC1 input terminal

correctly on PC3 (BNC). In this case, check the settings of 
your computer (graphics board) to verify that input signals 
conform to specifications of this monitor (Hsync: 66.3 kHz, 
Vsync: 60 Hz, and Dot frequency: 148.5 MHz). (See page 
35.)
•  If there is a check box to disable EDID in display control 
panel, check it when using PC3 (BNC).
•  Use the automatic screen adjustment when a PC screen is  displayed for the first time using PC2 or PC3, or when the 
setting of the PC is changed. (See page 23.)
•  The screen is adjusted automatically when SELF ADJUST 
in the OPTION menu is set to “ON”. (See page 19.)
Connection with AV equipment

Connecting Peripheral Equipment
Other terminals
PC/AV audio output terminals•  Audio from the equipment connected to the AV audio input 
terminals or PC audio input terminal is output. Connect to 
the audio input terminals of the connected equipment using 
a commercially available audio cable (RCA).
•  The audio output varies depending on the input mode 
selection. (See page 15.)
•  The volume level can be adjusted using the volume 
adjustment. (See page 15.)
•  Selecting FIXED of “AUDIO OUTPUT” from the OPTION  menu fixes the volume of sound output from the audio 
output terminals. (See page 19.)
•  Audio signals output from the PC/AV audio output terminals  cannot be adjusted using the AUDIO menu.
PC/AV output terminals 
Video signals from PC1 and AV1 can be output to
 
HDCP-compatible external device. Use this terminal when 
you connect multiple monitors in a daisy chain via DVI cable 
(commercially available). (See the description on the right.)
Images cannot be output to device that is not 
HDCP-compatible.
RS-232C input/output terminals
You can control the monitor from a PC by connecting a 
commercially available RS-232C straight cable between this 
terminal and the PC. (See page 25.)
Connecting external speakers
Be sure to use external speakers with an impedance of 6 Ω 
and a rated input of at least 7 W.
(1)(2)
1. While pushing the tab, insert the tip of the cable.
2. Release the tab.
TIPS
•  Be sure to connect the + and - terminals and the left and  right speakers properly.
•  Avoid short circuiting the + and - terminals.
Connecting multiple monitors
You can connect multiple monitors (up to 5 monitors) in a 
daisy chain by using the PC1/AV1 input terminals and PC/AV 
output terminals of this monitor.
Connection example

TIPS
•  The length of the signal cables or surrounding environment  may affect the image quality.
•  The screen may not display properly when using terminals 
other than PC1/AV1 for the input mode. In this case, turn 
off the power to all the monitors connected in a daisy chain 
and then turn the power on again.

2.  See the instructions in the compartment and put in the 
supplied batteries (2 R-6 batteries) with their plus (+) and 
minus (-) sides oriented correctly.
3.  Close the cover.
TIPS
•  The supplied batteries (2 R-6 batteries) may become 
exhausted faster depending on the storage condition. It is 
recommended that you replace them with new batteries 
(commercially available) earlier than specified.
•  If you will not use the remote control for a long time, 
remove the batteries.
•   Use manganese or alkaline batteries only.

TIPS
•  Using this monitor’s screen-size switching or dual-screen display functions to compress or expand the screen for commercial 
or public viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as protected by Copyright 
Law, so please be careful.
•  When “Enlarge” is set, the screen size is fixed to “WIDE” mode.
•  When dual-screen display is selected, the screen size cannot be changed.
•  The appearance of the original video may change if you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original  image (e.g. TV broadcast or video input from external equipment). 
•  When an 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 intentions, set the screen 
size to “NORMAL”.
•  When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) may be cropped. In this case select the optimal screen  size using the screen-size switching function of this monitor. With some software, there may be noise or distortion at the 
edges of the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.
•  Depending on the original image size, black bands may remain at the edges of the screen.
