Sony GDM-500PS Operating Instructions - Page 19

Getting STteacrhtendical Features Power Saving Function This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA and Energy Star, as well as the more stringent NUTEK . If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics board that is VESA DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below. You can set the delay time before the monitor enters the power saving mode using the OSD. Set the time according to "Setting the power saving delay time" on page 16. Note If no video signal is input to the monitor, the "NO INPUT SIGNAL" message (page 20) appears. After the delay time has passed, the power saving function automatically puts the monitor into the active-off mode and the u indicator lights up orange. Once the horizontal and vertical sync signals are detected, the monitor automatically resumes its normal operation mode.

Orange - Off EN Damper Wires Plug & Play F When viewing a white background, very thin horizontal lines may be visible on the screen as shown below. These lines are the shadows of the damper wires and are characteristic of CRTs that use aperture grilles. The wires are attached to the aperture grille on the inside of the Trinitron tube and prevent the vibration of the aperture grille. Damper wires This monitor complies with the DDC™1, DDC2B, DDC2AB ES and DDC2B+ Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of VESA. When a DDC1 host system is connected, the monitor C synchronizes with the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA standards and outputs the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to the data line. When a DDC2B, DDC2AB or DDC2B+ host system is connected, the monitor automatically switches to the appropriate standard. DDC™ is a trademark of the Video Electronics Standard Association. Note When using Windows 95/98, the DDC standard does not apply to the 5 BNC connectors. If you use the DDC standard, connect the HD15 connector to the computer with the supplied video signal cable. 19
