– The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.  
– All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.  
– All operating instructions should be followed.  
– Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp  
cloth for cleaning.  
– Use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust around the intakes (all the  
openings) on the rear. If a vacuum is not available, use a cloth and wipe it off.  
Failure to do so will cause internal heat buildup and, therefore, cause damage  
to the product.  
– Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they  
may be hazardous.  
– Do not use this product near water. Do not use immediately after moving from a  
low temperature to high temperature, as this causes condensation, which may  
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.  
– Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or  
adult, and serious damage to the product. The product should be mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions,  
and should use a mount recommended by the manufacturer.  
– When the product is used on a cart, care should be taken to avoid quick stops, excessive force, and  
uneven surfaces which may cause the product and cart to overturn, damaging equipment or causing  
possible injury to the operator.  
– Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These ensure reliable operation of the  
product and protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. (The openings  
should never be blocked by placing the product on bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. It should not be placed in a built-in  
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the manufacturer’s instructions have  
been adhered to.)  
For proper ventilation, separate the product from other equipment, which may prevent ventilation and keep distance  
more than 10 cm.

Installation  
Precautions  
When mounting the Monitor vertically, consult your dealer. (See also page 13.)  
• When installing the Monitor, be sure to use a dedicated Stand Unit, Wall Mounting Unit, or Monitor Hanger Unit, depending  
on a particular case. Ask your dealer for installation.  
• When installing the Monitor, refer also to the user manual for each option to use. Do not tilt the Monitor rightward, leftward,  
or backward.  
• Route the power cord and connection cables along wall or floor corners to avoid walking on them.  
• For good heat dissipation, try to leave the following distances of space (minimum) around the Monitor.  
• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0˚C to 40˚C (slightly variable depending on  
ambient conditions for installation.)  
• When installing the Monitor in a place, such as near the ceiling, the remote control may not work correctly because of possible  
effects from the surroundings. If this happens, use the remote control as a wired remote control or move the Monitor where it  
is free from these effects.

Notes:  
• When a signal other than listed above is input, a part of the screen may become void or an unnecessary picture may appear.  
• Signals, though they are within the acceptable range of frequencies, may not be displayed normally, depending on the signal  
type.  
• Depending on the connected equipment, the Monitor may not be compatible with composite sync (Cs) or G on sync signals.  
• When a preset mode signal is input, the vertical frequency displayed on the screen will have an “*” shown at its right top  
position.  
• When the No. 6 signal is input, change the aspect ratio to “FULL” with the ASPECT button (page 15) on the remote control or  
from the “FUNCTION SELECT” menu (page 21).  
• When No. 8 to No. 16 signals are input, thin lines may become obscure for their signal frequencies are higher than the screen  
resolution.

Precautions for using the screen mode switching function  
This Monitor features a screen mode switching (aspect ratio  
change) function. If you select a mode different in aspect  
ratio from software such as TV programs, the picture may  
look different from original picture. Be aware of this point  
when you are selecting a screen mode.  
If you select a wide screen mode while viewing  
conventional video programs of the aspect ratio 4:3, some  
portions (edges) of the original picture will be cut off, or  
deformed. To enjoy the original picture as it is, select  
REGULARwhile viewing such programs.  
If you place the Monitor in a tea room, hotel, etc. for  
business purposes or public viewing and modify the picture  
by using the screen mode switching (aspect ratio change)  
function, this could violate the copyright protected by the  
copyright law, which requires your special attention.  
If you make the screen very bright and watch programs  
selecting REGULAR,for a long period of time, the  
Monitor screen may happen to be burned in. If this occurs,  
watching programs using a wide screen mode for a while  
will reduce the burn-in gradually.  
Notes:  
When one of the following signals is being input, you  
cannot select the aspect ratio you want.  
I 1080/50i, 1080/60i, 1035/60i or 720/60p signal through the  
COMPONENT/RGB B input terminals  
You can only select FULL.  
I When any signal other than RGB15K-60 and RGB15K-50  
through the RGB A or COMPONENT/RGB B input terminals  
You can select only REGULAR and FULL.  
The aspect ratio can also be changed on the Function  
Selection Menu (page 21).

Adjusting the Screen Size and Position  
*1 Size and position adjustments are so related that if one  
is adjusted much, the others adjustable range will be  
reduced.  
The screen size and position can be adjusted.  
Adjusted settings can be stored for each signal type; therefore,  
when the same signal comes in, the stored settings are  
recalled.  
When adjusting the size, the size cannot be adjusted  
proportionally, but can be enlarged rightward (or  
downward) only and reduced leftward (or upward) only.  
Therefore, it is necessary to adjust both the size and position  
alternately to adjust to the appropriate size.  
*2 DOT CLOCK is the function to adjust the pixel  
sampling number of the A/D converter to the  
resolution (the vertical pixel number) of the input  
signal.  
CLOCK PHASE is the function to adjust the sampling  
timing (phase) to the phase of the input signal.  
You can use the two functions to reduce flickering and  
blurring on the screen when using the RGB A or RGB  
B input.

If the self-diagnostic lamps light or flash in red, check the  
following before consulting the dealer where you  
purchased the Monitor.  
Note:  
If you switch on the main power immediately after switching  
it off (or after recovering from a brief power interruption), the  
self-diagnostic lamps may light (or flash), and no image may  
appear on the screen. In this case, switch off the main power  
again, wait for about 10 seconds, then switch it on again. If no  
self-diagnostic lamps light or flash, you can operate and use  
the Monitor as usual.  
If self-diagnostic lamp 1 (upper) flashes, lamp 2 (middle)  
lights, and lamp 3 (lower) flashes
