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
“REGULAR” while 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 720/60p, 1080/60i (1035/60i), or 1080/50i 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 other’s 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
This may be caused by the dusty intakes on the rear. If
this happens, switch off the main power by POWER
switch (set to “‡ (off)”), unplug the AC power cord,
then clean the intakes by referring to the instruction on
page 2.
– After cleaning, switch on the Monitor’s main power
again. If self-diagnostic lamps do not go off, consult
your dealer immediately.
