Preparations  
Checking the Accessories  
The following accessories are included with the Monitor. Check for them. If any item is missing, please contact the dealer where  
you purchased the Monitor.  
• Remote control (RM-C579) x 1  
• Power cord x 2 (Use the one matching the wall outlet.)  
• Batteries (AA/R6P) x 2  
• Ferrite core x 1  
Installing the Batteries  
Put the batteries in the remote control as follows. If the remote control has become erratic in operation, change the batteries.  
1 Remove the back cover.  
While pushing the release lever on the cover, remove the cover in  
the direction of the arrow.  
2 Place the batteries.  
Put the two supplied batteries (AA/R6P), noting the ª and ·  
markings, as shown.  
3 Replace the back cover as illustrated.  
Make sure the release lever on the cover is locked in place correctly.  
Precautions for using batteries  
If batteries are used improperly, the liquid could leak out, causing a fire, injury, etc. or dirtying the vicinity.  
Take notice of the following:  
• Do not mix old and new batteries.  
• Do not mix different types of battery as different types may have different  
characteristics.  
• Place the batteries according to the ª and · markings indicated on the battery  
compartment.  
• When installing the batteries, insert the · end first to avoid a short circuit.  
• Use only the specified batteries.  
• When you are not using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.  
• When the batteries have reached the end of their life, replace them with new ones  
immediately. Otherwise, the liquid may leak out, or malfunction may be caused by  
the leaked liquid. If the leaked liquid contacts your skin, wipe off the liquid with a  
soft cloth. If the affected skin is left as is, you may get a rough skin.  
The instruction below applies  
only to the use in Holland.  
Gebruike batterijen:  
• Do not throw the batteries into fire or try recharging them.  
• The service life of batteries is six months to one year for normal use. The supplied  
batteries are only for checking the operation and their life may be shorter. When  
the remote control operation becomes erratic, replace with new batteries.  
Attaching the Ferrite Core  
Attach the ferrite core to the power cord. Using the power cord without the ferrite core may lead to noise (interference). Open  
the ferrite core, insert the power cord and close the ferrite core. Attach the ferrite core to the AC IN end of the power cord.

Installation  
Precautions  
• When installing the Monitor, be sure to use a dedicated Stand Unit, Wall Mounting Unit, or Monitor Hanger Unit, depending  
on a particular case. Ask your dealer for installation.  
• When installing the Monitor, refer also to the user manual for each option to use. Do not tilt the Monitor rightward, leftward,  
or backward.  
• Route the power cord and connection cables along wall or floor corners to avoid walking on them.  
• For good heat dissipation, try to leave the following distances of space (minimum) around the Monitor.  
• The ambient temperature of the installation place should be within the range of 0˚C to 40˚C (slightly variable depending on  
ambient conditions for installation.)  
• When installing the Monitor in a place, such as near the ceiling, the remote control may not work correctly because of possible  
effects from the surroundings. If this happens, use the remote control as a wired remote control or move the Monitor where it  
is free from these effects.

Precautions for using the screen mode switching function  
• This Monitor features a screen mode switching (aspect ratio  
change) function. If you select a mode different in aspect  
ratio from software such as TV programs, the picture may  
look different from original picture. Be aware of this point  
when you are selecting a screen mode.  
• If you select a wide screen mode while viewing  
conventional video programs of the aspect ratio 4:3, some  
portions (edges) of the original picture will be cut off, or  
deformed. To enjoy the original picture as it is, select  
“REGULAR” while viewing such programs.  
• If you place the Monitor in a tea room, hotel, etc. for  
business purposes or public viewing and modify the picture  
by using the screen mode switching (aspect ratio change)  
function, this could violate the copyright protected by the  
copyright law, which requires your special attention.  
• If you make the screen very bright and watch programs  
selecting “REGULAR,” for a long period of time, the  
Monitor screen may happen to be burned in. If this occurs,  
watching programs using a wide screen mode for a while  
will reduce the burn-in gradually.  
Notes:  
• When one of the following signals is being input, you  
cannot select the aspect ratio you want.  
I 1080/50i, 1080/60i, 1035/60i or 720/60p signal through the  
COMPONENT/RGB B input terminals  
You can only select FULL.  
I When any signal other than RGB15K-60 and RGB15K-50  
through the RGB A or COMPONENT/RGB B input terminals  
You can select only REGULAR and FULL.  
• The aspect ratio can also be changed on the Function  
Selection Menu (page 21).

Adjusting the Screen Size and Position  
*1 Size and position adjustments are so related that if one  
is adjusted much, the other’s adjustable range will be  
reduced.  
The screen size and position can be adjusted.  
Adjusted settings can be stored for each signal type; therefore,  
when the same signal comes in, the stored settings are  
recalled.  
• When adjusting the size, the size cannot be adjusted  
proportionally, but can be enlarged rightward (or  
downward) only and reduced leftward (or upward) only.  
Therefore, it is necessary to adjust both the size and position  
alternately to adjust to the appropriate size.  
*2 DOT CLOCK is the function to adjust the pixel  
sampling number of the A/D converter to the  
resolution (the vertical pixel number) of the input  
signal.  
CLOCK PHASE is the function to adjust the sampling  
timing (phase) to the phase of the input signal.  
You can use the two functions to reduce flickering and  
blurring on the screen when using the RGB A or RGB  
B input.

If the trouble still persists, follow the procedure below:  
Self-diagnostic Indication  
When something abnormal occurs with the Monitor, this  
function informs you of the condition of the Monitor with  
self-diagnostic lamps, allowing for smooth service work.  
1 Check which lamps are lighting or flashing.  
On the Self-diagnostic Report Sheet (below), check the box  
next to “Lights” or “Flashes” of the corresponding lamp or  
lamps.  
Remote sensor  
•
Only one lamp may light or flash, or all three lamps  
may do so.

3 Unplug the power cord.  
4 Call your dealer and tell which lamps are lighting  
or flashing. (Copy and fax the Self-diagnostic  
Report Sheet below.)  
❑If the screen monitor turns off and self-diagnostic  
lamps light or flash  
If the self-diagnostic lamps light or flash in red, check the  
following before consulting the dealer where you  
purchased the Monitor.  
Note:  
If you switch on the main power immediately after switching  
it off (or after recovering from a brief power interruption), the  
self-diagnostic lamps may light (or flash), and no image may  
appear on the screen. In this case, switch off the main power  
again, wait for about 10 seconds, then switch it on again. If no  
self-diagnostic lamps light or flash, you can operate and use  
the Monitor as usual.  
• If self-diagnostic lamp 1 (upper) flashes, lamp 2 (middle)  
lights, and lamp 3 (lower) flashes  
This may be caused by the dusty intakes on the rear. If  
this happens, switch off the main power by POWER  
switch (set to “‡ (off)”), unplug the AC power cord,  
then clean the intakes by referring to the instruction on  
page 2.  
– After cleaning, switch on the Monitor’s main power  
again. If self-diagnostic lamps do not go off, consult  
your dealer immediately.  
Self-diagnostic Report Sheet  
❑If the screen monitor dims a little and “TEMP. OVER”

screen, check the following before consulting the dealer  
where you purchased the Monitor.  
Store name where you purchased the Monitor
