For customers using Windows 95/98
To maximize the potential of your monitor, install the new model 
information file from the supplied Windows Monitor Information Disk 
onto your PC.
This monitor complies with the “VESA DDC” Plug & Play standard. If 
your PC/graphics board complies with DDC, select “Plug & Play Monitor 
(VESA DDC)” or this monitor’s model name as the monitor type in the 
“Control Panel” of Windows 95/98. If your PC/graphics board has 
difficulty communicating with this monitor, load the Windows Monitor 
Information Disk and select this monitor’s model name as the monitor 
type.
For customers using Windows NT4.0
Monitor setup in Windows NT4.0 is different from Windows 95/98 and 
does not involve the selection of monitor type. Refer to the Windows 
NT4.0 instruction manual for further details on adjusting the resolution, 
refresh rate, and number of colors.
Adjusting the monitor’s resolution and color number
Adjust the monitor’s resolution and color number by referring to your 
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
• True Color (24 bit) 
t about 16.77 million colors
In true color mode (24 bit), speed may be slower.
Selecting the input signal
You can connect two computers to this monitor using the video 
input 1 (
y1) and video input 2 (y2) connectors. To select one 
of the two computers, use the INPUT switch.
Move the INPUT switch.
The selected connector appears on the screen for 3 seconds.
“INPUT 1” (video input 1 connector:

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 – 96 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.
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 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 is in a power saving 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.
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 14.   
The input signal condition
OUT OF SCAN RANGE
indicates that the input signal is not supported by the monitor’s 
specifications.
NO INPUT SIGNAL
