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: 30 – 70 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 no signal is received by the 
monitor from the connected computer, the monitor will 
automatically reduce power consumption 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 visible lines on your screen especially when the background 
screen color is light (usually white), are normal for the Trinitron 
monitor. This is not a malfunction. These are shadows from the 
damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille. 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 13.
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.
