Technical Features

Preset and user modes

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically 
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the 
monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of 
the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.) 
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, 
the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a 
clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor’s 
frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 85 kHz, vertical: 48 – 170 Hz). 
If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user 
mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal 
is received.

Note for Windows users

For Windows users, check your video board manual or the utility 
program which comes with your graphic board and select the 
highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, 

E

NERGY 

S

TAR, and NUTEK. If no signal is received by the 

monitor from the connected computer, the monitor will 
automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.

*

When your computer is in active off mode, MONITOR IS IN 
POWER SAVE MODE appears on the screen if you press any button 
on the monitor. After a few seconds, the monitor enters the power 
saving mode again.

** If the horizontal or vertical sync signal is received by the monitor, the 

power indicator lights in orange.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.

If thin lines appear on your screen 
(damper wires)

The lines you are experiencing on your screen are normal for the 
Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. These are shadows 
from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and are 
most noticeable when the screen’s background is light (usually 
white). The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a 
Trinitron picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the 
screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.

On-screen messages

If no picture appears on the screen, one of the following messages 
appears on the screen. To solve the problem, see “Trouble 
symptoms and remedies” on page 13.   

The input signal condition
OUT OF SCAN RANGE

indicates that the input signal is not supported by the monitor’s 
specifications.

NO INPUT SIGNAL

indicates that no input signal is present.

MONITOR IS IN POWER SAVE MODE

indicates that the computer is in power saving mode. This 
message is displayed only when your computer is in a power 
saving mode and you press any one of the buttons on the monitor.
