Technical Features
Preset mode timing table
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. 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 – 130 kHz, vertical:
48 – 170 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.

Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
E
NERGY
S
TAR, and NUTEK. If no signal is input to the
monitor from your computer, the monitor will automatically
reduce power consumption as shown below.
* When your computer enters power saving mode, the input signal is cut
and NO SIGNAL appears on the screen before the monitor enters active
off mode. After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.
**“Deep sleep” is power saving mode defined by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
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.
If NO SIGNAL appears in section 1
This indicates that no signal is input from the selected connector.
