If you are experiencing any problem with your display, before 

calling for service, please review the following troubleshooting 

tips.
There is no picture or sound.

•  Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 16.)

•  Is the main power switch off? (See page 18.)

•  Is the monitor in standby mode (the power LED illuminating

in orange)?

•  Make sure correct input mode is selected. (See page 19.)

•  If any external equipment is connected, make sure the

equipment is operating (playing back).

•  Are the batteries inserted with polarity (+,-) aligned? (See

page 15.)

•  Are the batteries exhausted?

•  Point the remote control unit toward the remote control

sensor.

•  When the PN-ZR01 (optional) is connected, is REMOTE

CONTROL SENSOR under CONTROL KIT SETTING on

the SETUP menu set to INTERNAL? (See page 24.)

•  Is the menu display hidden or is operation disabled? (See

page 30.)

•  Is the PN-ZR01 (optional) remote control sensor box

disconnected?

•  Are audio cables connected properly? (See pages 12 to

13.)

•  Make sure audio cables for external speakers are

connected properly: left and right cables may be reversed 

or one of the two cables may not be connected. (See page 

13.)

•  Check the setting of BALANCE for AUDIO menu. (See

page 23.)

•  Is the sound muted?

•  Make sure the volume is not set to minimum.

•  Are audio cables connected properly?

•  Is the setting of AUDIO SELECT on the OPTION menu

correct? (See page 25.)

•  The signal may be incompatible.

•  Try the automatic screen adjustment when the PC D-sub

input terminal or PC RGB input terminals are used.

•  Is the setting for HDMI of INPUT SELECT on the OPTION

menu correct? (See page 25.)

•  Is the HDMI cable HDMI standard compliant? The monitor

will not work with cables that are not standard compliant.

•  Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages

56 to 57.)

•  Is the setting for DVI of INPUT SELECT on the OPTION

menu correct? (See page 25.)

•  Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages

56 to 57.)

•  Turn off the power to the connected equipment and then

turn the power on again.

•  If the monitors are connected in a daisy chain, turn off the

power to all the monitors connected in a daisy chain and 

then turn the power on again.

•  Is the setting for BNC or D-SUB of INPUT SELECT on the

OPTION menu correct? (See page 25.)

•  Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages

56 to 57.)

•  Load noises from outside may be interfering with normal

operation. Turn off the power and turn it on after waiting at 

least 5 seconds, and then check the operation.

•  When the AUTO INPUT CHANGE is ON and no signal

is present in a selected input mode, the AUTO INPUT 

CHANGE automatically changes the selected mode to a

mode where a video signal is present.

  The input mode may change in the following cases:

- When a computer is in standby mode.

- When video play is stopped with a playback device.

•  Hardware has a problem. Turn off the monitor and request

repair from your SHARP dealer. 

(When STATUS ALERT is set to OSD & LED. This varies

depending on the setting.)

•  When the internal temperature of the monitor rises

excessively, the brightness of the backlight automatically 

decreases in order to prevent a further temperature rise. If 
you attempt to use 

 

to adjust the brightness while

the monitor is in this state, “AUTO DIMMING” is displayed

and you cannot change the brightness.

•  Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.

•  You may occasionally hear a 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.
