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 - 96 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 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, ENERGY STAR, 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. Power mode Power consumption 6 (power) indicator normal operation ≤ 130 W green 1 standby ≤ 15 W green and orange alternate 2 suspend (sleep)* ≤ 15 W green and orange alternate 3 active off** ≤ 3 W (deep sleep)* orange power off 0 W off * "Sleep" and "deep sleep" are power saving modes defined by the Environmental Protection Agency. ** When your computer is in a power saving mode, MONITOR IS IN POWER SAVE MODE appears on the screen if you press any button on the monitor. After a few seconds, the monitor enters the power saving mode again. Troubleshooting Before contacting technical support, refer to this section. If thin lines appear on your screen (damper wires) The lines you are experiencing on your screen are normal for the Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. These are shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and are most noticeable when the screen's background is light (usually white). 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. Damper wires On-screen messages If no picture appears on the screen, one of the following messages appears on the screen. To solve the problem, see "Trouble symptoms and remedies" on page 14. INFORMATION OUT OF SCAN RANGE Input signal condition 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 input. MONITOR IS IN POWER SAVE MODE indicates that the computer is in power saving mode. This message is displayed only when your computer is in a power saving mode and you press any one of the buttons on the monitor. 13

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
li
st
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
96
kHz,
vertical:
48
-120
Hz).
If
the
picture
is
adjusted,
the
adjustment
data
is
stored
as
a

mode
and
automatically
recalled
whenever
the
same

Troubleshooting
Before
contacting
technical
support,
refer
to
this
section.
If
thin
lines
appear
on
your
screen
(damper
wires)
The
lines
you
are
experiencing
on
your
screen
are
normal
for
the
Trinitron
monitor
and
are
not
a
malfunction.
These
are
shadows
from
the
damper
wires
used
to
stabilize
the
aperture
grille
and
are
most
noticeable
when
the
screen's
background
is
light
(usually
white).
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
