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 – 94 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 and
E
NERGY
S
TAR. 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, ACTIVATE USING PC
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 amber.
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 11.
The input signal condition
OUT OF SCAN RANGE
indicates that the input signal is not supported by the monitor’s
specifications.
CHECK SIGNAL CABLE
indicates that no input signal is present.
