Sony HMD-A100 Operating Instructions - Page 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 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 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 no signal is received by the monitor from the connected computer, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below. Power mode Power consumption* normal operation ≤ 115 W active off** ≤ 5 W power off 0 W 1 (power) indicator green orange*** off * Figures reflect power consumption when no USB compatible peripherals are connected to the monitor. ** 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. *** If the horizontal or vertical sync signal is received by the monitor, the power indicator may alternately blink green and orange. 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 US 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. 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 being input to the monitor. 13
