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 graphic 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.
*
“Sleep” and “deep sleep” are power saving modes defined by the 
Environmental Protection Agency.
** 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 line appears on your screen 
(damper wire)
The visible line on your screen especially when the background 
screen color is light (usually white), is normal for the Trinitron 
monitor. This is not a malfunction. This is shadow from the 
damper wire 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 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.
