difficulty communicating with this monitor, load the Windows Monitor 
Information Disk and select this monitor’s model name as the monitor

computer’s instruction manual. The color number may vary according to 
your computer or video board. The color palette setting and the actual 
number of colors are as follows:
• High Color (16 bit) 

t 65,536 colors

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 – 70 kHz, vertical: 48 – 120 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.

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.

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

E

NERGY 

S

TAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a 

computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power 
Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically 
reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.

*

“Sleep” and “deep sleep” are power saving modes defined by the 
Environmental Protection Agency.

** When your computer enters the “active off” mode, the input signal is 

cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 20 seconds, 
the monitor enters the power saving mode.

Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.

The line you are experiencing on your screen is normal for the 
Trinitron monitor and is not a malfunction. This is shadow from 
the damper wire used to stabilize the aperture grill and is most 
noticeable when the screen’s background is lightly (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.

If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the 
following messages appears on the screen. To solve the problem, 
see “Trouble symptoms and remedies” on page 14.
