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 – 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.
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.
* 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.
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 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.
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 signal is being input to the monitor.
