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 set to Dot by Dot or CUSTOM.  
• 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.

such as a bad connection between the PC and monitor,  
nothing is returned (not even ERR).  
• “ERR” may be returned when a command cannot be  
received correctly due to interference from the surrounding  
environment.

ID numbers  
n
You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see  
page 23). This allows you to control a particular monitor in a  
daisy chain of monitors.  
(e.g. if the command IDSL0002  
is used, but no monitor  
You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen or  
from the PC using RS-232 cable.

T
ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4  
Return code  
(0DH, 0AH)  
When the following commands are used, “WAIT” is returned.  
In this case, a value will be returned if you wait a while. Do not  
send any command during this period.  
No ID number is attached to WAIT response.  
• Commands which return WAIT:  
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can  
execute commands like “Set the volume of the monitor with  
ID 4 to 20”.  
1. When repeater control is used  
2. When an IDSL or IDLK command is used  
3. When one of the following commands is used: RSET,  
INPS, ASNC, WIDE, PXSL, POWR, MWIN, MWIP,  
EMHV, EPHV, ESHV, ENLG, BOMD  
When designating ID numbers for a set of monitors linked in a  
daisy chain, you should basically avoid any duplication of ID  
numbers.  
ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order  
starting from the PC. They can also be connected as shown  
below.

Controlling the Monitor with a PC (RS-232C)  
Repeater control  
n
This system has a function to allow setting of multiple  
monitors connected in a daisy chain using a single command.  
This function is called repeater control. You can use Repeater  
control function without assigning ID numbers.  
[Example]  
Set 1  
Set 2  
Set 3  
Set 4  
* If monitors are connected as shown above, you can  
execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input settings to  
D-SUB”.  
Repeater control command  
n
Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH  
CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.  
Example:  
Sets volume of all monitors to 30.  
VOLM030 +  
←
In repeater control, responses are returned by all the  
connected monitors.  
If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a  
specific set, assign ID numbers to each monitor in advance.  
When some monitors do not return their responses, the  
probable cause is that the monitors could not receive the  
command or command processing is not complete. Do not  
send a new command.  
Example: (When 4 monitors are connected, and  
assigned ID numbers: 1 through 4)  
VOLM030 +  
WAIT  
OK  
OK  
OK  
OK  
001  
002

004  
←
If 4 monitors are connected in  
a chain, reliable operation can  
be ensured by sending a new  
command only after a reply  
has been returned by 4th (last)  
monitor.  
Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.  
Example:  
VOLM ? ? ? +  
WAIT

Troubleshooting  
The Power LED is flashing in red and green alternately.  
• When the internal temperature of the monitor rises  
excessively, the brightness of the backlight decreases  
automatically in order to prevent high-temperature-related  
problems. When this occurs, the Power LED flashes red  
and green alternately.  
• If the internal temperature rises further, the monitor  
automatically enters standby mode. (The Power LED  
continues flashing red and green alternately.)  
• Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.  
- If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in  
temperature, to return to normal display, turn the power  
switch off and then back on again. The monitor, however,  
will enter standby mode again if the cause of the  
temperature rise is not eliminated. (See page 7.)  
- 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 monitor are blocked.  
- Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates  
inside the monitor or around the vents. Remove dust if  
possible. Ask SHARP dealer about removing internal dust.

When mounting the monitor, be sure to use a wall-mount bracket that complies with the VESA-compatible mounting method.  
SHARP recommends using M6 screws and tighten the screws.  
Note that screw hole depth of the monitor is 3/8 inch (10 mm). Loose mounting may cause the product to fall, resulting in  
serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. The screw and hole should come together with over 5/16 inch  
(8 mm) length of thread. Use a bracket which has been approved for UL1678 standard, and which can endure at least 4 times  
or more the weight of the monitor.

DDC (plug and play)  
n
The monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard.  
DDC is a signal standard for plug and play between monitors and computers. Information about resolution and other parameters  
is exchanged between the two. This function can be used if the computer supports DDC and it has been configured to detect  
plug-and-play monitors.  
There are several types of DDC, depending on the communication method used. This monitor supports DDC2B.
