You can easily expand the input capability by installing 
an optional board (not supplied) in the option slot on the 
rear panel. Only one board for expanding the input 
capability can be installed at a time. If you install two 
boards, they do not function.

Pressing the EXT SYNC button on the control panel 
once enables the monitor to operate on a sync signal 
supplied from an external sync generator.

The input connector is terminated at 75 ohms internally 
when nothing has been connected to the output 
connector. If a cable is connected to the output 
connector, the internal terminal is automatically released 
and the signals input to the input connector are output to 
the output connector (loop-through).

The chroma and phase are automatically adjusted.

In the blue only mode, the blue component of an input 
signal is displayed. This facilitates adjustments of the 
color saturation and phase, and observation of VCR 
noise.

In the underscan mode, the lines usually scanned outside 
the normal display area are visible so that you can 
monitor the entire screen area.

When the monitor is in the underscan mode, dark RGB 
scanning lines appear on the top edge of the screen. 
These are caused by an internal test signal.

You can precisely monitor a signal whose aspect ratio is 
16:9, in addition to a 4:3 signal.

The monitor is automatically degaussed when the power 
is turned on. You can manually degauss the monitor by 
pressing the DEGAUSS button.
Using the menu, you can preset a time to degauss 
automatically after the power has been turned on for a 
while.

You can set color temperature, perform a chroma set up, 
and make other settings using the on-screen menus.

The monitor can be mounted on an EIA-standard 
19-inch rack, using the following mounting brackets or 
slide rails.
For the PVM-9L3/PVM-9L2: MB-520
For the PVM-14L2: MB-502B (In Europe, use the MB-

502C)

For the PVM-20L2: SLR-103A (In Europe, use the 

SLR-103C)

Installing certain optional parts enables the monitor to 
decode Closed Caption signals. Using a menu, you can 
choose whether or not to display captions (subtitles) and 
can select the style of the caption displayed. For details 
on these parts, consult your Sony dealer.

Plug the AC power cord into the AC IN socket. Then, 
attach the AC plug holder (supplied) to the AC power 
cord and slide it over the cord until it locks.

Pull out the AC plug holder while pressing the lock 
levers.

For the PVM-9L3/PVM-9L2, you can use a Sony 
lithium-ion battery, the BP-L60A/BP-L90A, or a Sony 
nickel metal hydride battery, the BP-M50/BP-M100.
