DEAR SHARP CUSTOMER  
Thank you for your purchase of a SHARP LCD product. To ensure safety and many  
years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Safety Precautions  
carefully before using this product.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage  
if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety.  
However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please  
observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety  
and prolong the service life of your LCD product, please read the following precautions carefully before using  
the product.  
1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is oper-  
ated.  
2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place  
for future reference.  
3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.  
4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.  
5. Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to  
clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  
6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attach-  
ments can result in accidents.  
7. Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and  
laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.  
8. Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an  
unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to  
the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold  
with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.  
Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.  
9. When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care.  
Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall  
from the cart.  
10. Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation.  
Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause  
overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed,  
sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. Do not  
place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper  
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.  
11. Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on  
them or objects from resting on them.  
12. The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is  
dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD  
panel breaks.  
13. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric  
shock.  
14. Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High  
voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts.  
For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.  
15. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high  
voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

ment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive  
adjustment work by a qualified technician.  
e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.  
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates  
that the product needs servicing.  
17. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person  
uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and per-  
formance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other  
danger.

*1 Auto-detects Sync signal type.  
*2 Sync signal presence is detected in the order: Separate Sync → Composite Sync → Sync On  
Green. If for some reason neither Separate Sync nor Composite Sync is input, the system will  
operate assuming that the signal is a Sync On Green signal (i.e. that the sync signal is contained in  
the G signal of RGB), and this may result in an unstable image, depending on the video signal.

PC Operation (Continued)  
Advanced operation  
I This section explains commands for daisy chain connection. The basic communication procedure is  
the same as in the “Basic operation” section.  
<ID numbers>  
You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 56). This allows you to control a  
particular monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.  
Up to about 20 monitors can be connected, depending on the length of RS-232C cables and  
installation environment.  
You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen (via remote control or the control buttons on  
the monitor) or from the PC using RS-232C cable.  
[Example]  
PC  
ID number: 1  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 3  
ID number: 4  
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like “Set the volume of the  
monitor with ID 4 to 20”.  
When controlling monitors linked in a daisy chain by designating ID numbers, you should basically  
avoid any duplication of ID numbers.  
If the same ID number is assigned to multiple monitors, only the monitor closest to the PC can be  
controlled with that ID number.  
If monitors are connected as shown below, only the monitor 1 can be accessed with ID number 2.  
Monitor 2 cannot be controlled using that ID number.  
[Example]  
PC  
ID number: 1  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 3  
①�  
②�  
ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order starting from the PC. They can also be  
connected as shown below.  
[Example]  
PC  
ID number: 3  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 4  
ID number: 1

<Commands for ID control>  
The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID number set  
up.  
PC  
ID number: 1  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 3  
ID number: 4  
IDST······A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter field.  
Example: IDST0001  
OK 001　←The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.  
Note  
After linking monitors, you can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with  
the Repeater control (see “Repeater control” on page 42).  
[Example]  
PC  
Set 1  
Set 2  
Set 3  
Set 4  
If you connect monitors as shown above, and use the command “IDST001+”, ID numbers  
will be set automatically, as shown below.  
[Example]  
PC  
ID number: 1  
ID number: 2  
ID number: 3  
ID number: 4  
IDST001+  
WAIT  
←ID setting command with repeater control  
OK 001  
OK 002  
OK 003  
OK 004  
←ID = “OK” response from ID number=1  
←ID = “OK” response from ID number=2  
←ID = “OK” response from ID number=3  
←ID = “OK” response from ID number=4 (End)

PC Operation (Continued)  
IDSL······ The parameter of this command sets the ID number indicating the monitor subject to the  
next command.  
Example:  
IDSL0002  
WAIT  
OK 002  
VOLM0030  
WAIT  
← The next command is for the monitor with ID number=2.  
← Searching for monitor with ID number=2.  
← Found monitor with ID number=2  
← Set volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 30  
← Processing  
OK 002  
VOLM0020  
OK 001  
← OK response from monitor with ID number=2  
← Set volume to 20  
← The volume of the monitor with ID number=1  
(the one directly connected to the PC) is set to  
20.  
The IDSL command is  
effective only once, for the  
immediately succeeding  
command.  
IDLK······ The parameter of this command sets the ID number indicating the monitor subject to all  
subsequent commands.  
Example:  
IDLK0002  
WAIT  
← Following commands are for the monitor whose ID number is “2”.  
← Searching for monitor with ID number=2.  
OK 002  
VOLM0030  
WAIT  
OK 002  
VOLM0020  
WAIT  
← Found monitor with ID number=2  
← Set volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 30  
← Processing  
The IDLK command  
remains effective until it is  
canceled, or power is shut  
off.  
← Set volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 20  
OK 002  
IDLK0000  
WAIT  
← Canceling ID number setting  
← Canceling IDLK  
OK 002  
VOLM0010  
OK 001  
← Cancelation complete  
← The volume of the monitor with ID number=1 (the one directly connected  
to the PC) is set to 10.  
IDCK······ Provides screen display of the ID number currently assigned to a monitor, and the ID  
number currently set for IDLK (if any).  
Example:  
(After executing IDLK0002)  
IDCK0000  
ID:001 IDLK:002  
← (Parameter has no meaning)  
← Returned response. The ID number is also displayed on the  
monitor screen.  
IDCK000+  
WAIT  
ID:001 IDLK:002  
ID:002 IDLK:002  
ID:003 IDLK:002  
ID:004 IDLK:002  
← Repeater control  
(If a command is used with repeater control, ID designation using  
IDSL or IDLK is canceled.)

PC Operation (Continued)  
<Repeater control>  
This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a  
single command. This function is called repeater control.  
Up to about 20 monitors can be connected, depending on the length of RS-232C cables and  
installation environment.  
You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.  
[Example]  
PC  
Set 1  
Set 2  
Set 3  
Set 4  
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like “Set all  
monitors’ input settings to INPUT”.  
<Repeater control command>  
Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.  
Example: VOLM030+ ← Sets volume of all monitors to 30.  
In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors.*  
If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specific set, assign ID numbers to  
each monitor in advance.  
If no response is returned, this may be because the monitor has not received (or is still pro-  
cessing) the command, so it is possible that new commands may not be executed even if they  
are sent.  
* If power is turned “OFF” using Repeater control, only the monitor closest to the PC returns a  
response.  
Example: (When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers 1 through 4)  
VOLM030+  
WAIT  
OK 001  
OK 002  
OK 003  
OK 004  
← If 4 monitors are connected in a chain, reliable operation can be ensured  
by sending a new command only after a reply has been returned by 4th  
(last) monitor.  
Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.  
Example:  
VOLM???+  
WAIT  
10 001  
20 002  
Volume settings for all monitors are returned.  
30 003  
40 004  
» If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL, IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

Default  
Automatically optimizes position, phase and clock when applicable video is input.  
Yes/No  
No  
Note:  
You can quickly achieve high-picture quality results by using a signal suited to the  
adjustment as the video signal used for adjustment. Conversely, performing  
adjustment with a signal unsuited for adjustment may cause adjustment to fail, or  
make it impossible to achieve good results even if it succeeds.  
Example of the ideal signal for use in adjustment: An image with full size and  
resolution, and a vertical stripe signal which inverts between black and white at each  
pixel.

Detailed explanation  
Control lock  
Overview  
This monitor is equipped with a control lock function to prevent third parties from changing the  
operating state. Locked functions cannot be used unless a PIN is input.  
PINs can be freely set by the user.  
The following types of operation can be locked.  
» Menu Display  
When locked, MENU buttons on the remote control and monitor are disabled.  
» Remote Control  
When enabled buttons on the remote control except STANDBY/ON are locked.  
» Monitor Buttons  
When enabled monitor buttons except STANDBY/ON are locked.  
» Power  
When locked, the STANDBY/ON button on the remote control and the monitor cannot perform  
switching from the operating state to the standby state. It can however, perform switching from the  
standby state to the operating state.  
» RS-232C  
When enabled operation using RS-232C is locked.  
Lock state and temporary unlock (Except for RS-232C)  
When some functions are locked, you will be prompted to enter PIN if you attempt to use the function. If  
you enter the correct PIN, the locks on all locked functions are temporarily unlocked, so you can use the  
functions.  
Functions which have been temporarily unlocked are locked again under the following conditions.  
• The monitor entered standby mode.  
• PIN was changed.  
• Main POWER was turned off.  
• Lock Items were modified.  
Even if functions are temporarily unlocked, the system will ask for a PIN if you try to enter “Control Lock”  
from the “Setup” menu. This is to prevent the PIN from being modified while it is temporarily unlocked.  
Permanent unlocking (Except for RS-232C)  
1) Select “Control Lock” from “Setup” in the menu screen.  
2) Select “PIN Clear”, then “Yes” and press ENTER.  
Lock state and temporary unlock (RS-232C)  
If RS-232C is locked and you sent an RS-232C command, LOCKED will come back as the returned  
value.  
Only the following commands will work in this state.  
» PINPxxxx (“xxxx” is the current PIN.)  
Temporarily unlocks the current lock.  
Functions which have been temporarily unlocked are locked again under the following conditions.  
• The monitor entered standby mode.  
• PIN was changed.  
• Main POWER was turned off.  
• Lock Items were modified.

» PIN+xxxx (“xxxx” is the current PIN.)  
This command temporarily releases current lock.  
“+” indicates repeater control for the PINP command. ( 42 Repeater control)  
» PCLRxxxx (“xxxx” is the current PIN.)  
It reverts to the state where no PIN has been set.  
This is the same as “PIN Clear” under “Control Lock” on the “Setup” menu. (“Permanent unlock-  
ing”)  
» PCL+xxxx (“xxxx” is the current PIN.)  
It reverts to the state where there is no PIN.  
“+” indicates repeater control for the PCLR command.  
Permanent Control lock deactivation (RS-232C)  
When a single monitor is connected, use “PCLRxxxx” (“xxxx” is the current PIN.)  
When multiple monitors are connected, use “PCLR+xxxx”.  
If the “RS-232C” function is locked, the IDSL and IDLK commands cannot be used.

Troubleshooting (Continued)  
I Warning when temperature rises  
Nature of warning:  
∫ “Temperature” flashes at the lower right corner of the screen. The monitor automatically enters standby  
mode if temperature continues to rise.  
Solution:  
∫ If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in temperature, you can turn on the power on again in  
the usual way using the remote control or buttons on the monitor. However the monitor will enter standby  
mode again if the cause of the temperature rise is not eliminated.  
∫ Check whether the monitor is placed at a location where a quick rise in temperature is likely. Internal  
temperature rises quickly if the vents on the back are blocked.  
∫ Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates inside the monitor or around the vents. Remove  
dust if possible. Ask your dealer about removing internal dust.  
Cracking sound  
The monitor sometimes makes a cracking sound.  
» You may hear cracking sound from the monitor. This happens when the cabinet slightly  
expands and contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the  
monitor’s performance.
