tions of this monitor.

•  If there is a check box to disable EDID in display control panel,

check it when using PC4.

•  Use the automatic screen adjustment when a PC screen is dis-

played for the first time using PC3 or PC4, or when the setting of

the PC is changed.

•  The screen is adjusted automatically when SELF ADJUST in the

OPTION menu is set to “ON”.

input terminal. Set DVI SELECT of INPUT on the OPTION menu to

AV1 (DVI-D) when using the AV1 input terminal.

• Use a commercially available HDMI cable (conforming to the HDMI

standard) for the AV2 input terminal. Set HDMI SELECT of INPUT

SELECT on the OPTION menu to AV2 HDMI when using the AV2

input terminal. In addition, select the audio input terminal to be used

in HDMI AUDIO SELECT of INPUT SELECT on the OPTION menu.

When DIGITAL is selected, connection to the AV audio input terminal

is unnecessary.

• Use a commercially available component cable (BNC) for the AV3

input terminals. Set BNC SELECT of INPUT SELECT on the

OPTION menu to AV3 COMPONENT when using the AV3 input ter-

minals.

• Use a commercially available S-video cable for the AV4 input termi-

nal.

• Audio from the equipment connected to the AV audio input terminals

or PC audio input terminal is output. Connect to the audio input termi-
nals of the connected equipment using a commercially available

audio cable (RCA).

•  The audio output varies depending on the input mode selection. 

•  The volume level can be adjusted using the volume adjustment.

• Selecting FIXED of “AUDIO OUTPUT” from the OPTION menu fixes

the volume of sound output from the audio output terminals.

• Audio signals output from the PC/AV audio output terminals cannot

be adjusted using the AUDIO menu.

Video signals from PC1 and AV1 can be output to external device.
Use this terminal when you connect multiple monitors in a daisy chain

via DVI cable (commercially available). 

Outputting images encoded with HDCP requires an HDCP compati-

ble external device.
Images cannot be output in the following situations:

- In PC2/AV2 input mode

- When PIP SOURCE in the PIP/PbyP Menu is set to PC2
HDMI or AV2 HDMI

You can control the monitor from a PC by connecting a commercially
available RS-232 straight cable between this terminal and the PC.

You can control the monitor from a PC on a network by connecting a
commercially available LAN cable between this terminal and a net-

work. 

Be sure to use external speakers with an impedance of 6 

Ω and a rated

input of at least 7W.

1) While pushing the tab, insert the tip of the cable.

2) Release the tab.

Note:

•  Be sure to connect the 

+

 and 

−

 terminals and the left and right

speakers properly.

•  Avoid short circuiting the 

+

 and 

−

 terminals.

1) Turn off the main power switch.

2) Plug the power cord (supplied) into the AC input terminal.

3) Plug the power cord (supplied) into the AC power outlet.

Caution:

Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the monitor.

You can connect multiple monitors (up to 5 monitors) in a daisy chain by

using the PC1/AV1 input terminals and PC/AV output terminals of this
monitor.

[Connection example]

Note:

•  The length of the signal cables or surrounding environment may

affect the image quality.

•  The screen may not display properly when using terminals other

than PC1/AV1 for the input mode. In this case, turn off the power to

all the monitors connected in a daisy chain and then turn the power
on again.

• When connecting monitors in a daisy chain set AUTO INPUT

CHANGE to OFF.

■ Mounting precautions

• Since the monitor is heavy, consult your dealer before in stalling,

removing or moving the monitor.

• When installing, removing or moving the monitor, ensure that this is

carried out by at least 2 people.

• A stand and mounting bracket compliant with VESA specifications is

required. Do not use any screw holes other than VESA holes for
installation.

•  When moving the monitor, be sure to hold it with the handles both on

the rear and the unit bottom. Do not hold the LCD panel. This may

cause product damage, failure, or injury.

•  Install the monitor with the surface perpendicular to a level surface. If

necessary, the monitor may be tilted up to 20 degrees.

• Mounting the monitor on the wall requires special expertise and the

work must be performed by an authorized SHARP dealer. You should

never attempt to perform any of this work yourself. Our company will
bear no responsibility for accidents or injuries caused by improper

mounting or mishandling.

• This monitor should be used at an ambient temperature between

32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). Provide enough space around the
monitor to prevent heat from accumulating inside.

*The monitor can be installed close to a wall, etc.

However, the monitor emits heat during operation. Be aware that
heat emitted from the monitor may discolour or alter the wall.

•  If it is difficult to provide this much space for any reason such as

the installation of the monitor inside a housing, or if the ambient 

temperature may be outside of the range of 32°F (0°C) to 
104°F (40°C), install a fan in the housing or take other measures to

keep the ambient temperature within the required range.

•  Adhere to the following when installing the monitor in the vertical

orientation. Failing to adhere to the following may cause malfunc-
tions.

- Install the monitor such that the power LED is located on the

downside.
- Set the MONITOR on the SETUP menu to PORTRAIT.

•  Do not block any ventilation openings. If the temperature inside the

monitor rises, this could lead to a malfunction.

•  After mounting, it is recommended to take some measures to pre-

vent the monitor from falling down. 

•  Do not place the monitor on a device which generates heat.

•  Use the supplied vertical logo sticker when you install the monitor

in vertical orientation.

*Do not remove the factory-affixed sticker but affix the logo sticker

over it. Be careful not to cover the remote control sensor or but-

tons.

•  Be sure to use a stand or a wall-mount/ceiling bracket designed or

designated for mounting the monitor.

•  This monitor is designed to be installed on a concrete wall/ceiling

or pillar. Reinforced work might be necessary for some materials

such as plaster/thin plastic board/wood before starting installation.

This monitor and bracket must be installed on a wall which can
endure at least 4 times or more the weight of the monitor. Install by

the most suitable method for the material and the structure.
