place this unit where people will tread on the cord. Do not
overload wall outlets or power cords as this can result in a
fire or electric shock.
● Avoid using this unit under the following conditions:
– in extremely hot, cold or humid places,
– in dusty places,
– near appliances generating strong magnetic fields,
– in places subject to direct sunlight,
– in badly ventilated places,
– in automobiles with doors closed.
● Do not cover the ventilation slots while in operation as this
could obstruct the required ventilation flow.
● When dust accumulates on the screen surface, clean it with
a soft cloth.

● Unplug this unit from the AC outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
– when the power cord is frayed or the plug is damaged,

POWER CONNECTION
The power supply voltage rating of this product is AC 220 V.
Do not use other power cords than the power cord attached to this unit.

SCREEN BURN
● It is not recommended to keep a certain still image displayed on screen for a long time as well as displaying extremely bright
images on screen. This may cause a burning (sticking) phenomenon on the screen of cathode-ray tube. This problem does not
occur as far as displaying normal video playback motion images.

 Supplementary Explanation
= Information for monitor operation =
This monitor uses a high precision CRT (cathode ray tube). Please follow the procedures below.
* For stable operation of the CRT, approximately 30 minutes running time is required from the time the power is turned on.
* When the monitor is installed, it can be easily affected by surrounding magnetic fields, which can generate irregular color
on the screen. When it is difficult to eradicate, degauss from outside using a degausser, etc.

\ This terminal outputs the same audio signal as the audio sound output from the
speaker.
NOTES:
• No signal is output from the audio signal output terminal when the monitor is in standby mode.
• Even when the input signal is switched from the SDI Input Card, this terminal still
outputs the audio signal from the IN1 or IN2 which is selected last time.

IMPORTANT
• Do not use any other input card than the input cards listed on pages 7 and 8.
Using other input cards may cause malfunction or damage the monitor. Such malfunction or damage caused by using other
input cards cannot be warranted.
• If any equipment is not connected to a bridged output (OUT) terminal, be sure not to connect any cords to the bridged output
(OUT) terminal. Connecting a cord to a bridged output (OUT) terminal will cause the terminating resistance switch to open (auto
terminate function).
• When making a bridge connection, connect the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals on the monitor to separate video
components.
(For example, if both the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals are connected to the same VCR, resonance may occur except
during playback. This is caused by that the same video signal circulates between the VCR and the monitor. This is not a
malfunction.)

How to Use the External Control
7 About the External Control
This monitor has the REMOTE (remote) terminal that is used for the operation by an external control.
You can select the following control methods according to the setting of “REMOTE SYSTEM” in SET-UP MENU:
• MAKE (make contact system): Controls the function by short-circuiting the corresponding pin terminal to the GND
pin terminal, or disconnecting (opening) it.
• TRG. (trigger system):
Controls the function by inputting the pulse signal instantaneously to the
corresponding pin terminal.
NOTES:
When selecting “MAKE” (the make contact system), you can select how to change the input by the external control as follows:
A–D (4-pin control): Changes the input by short-circuiting any one signal line of INPUT A to INPUT D.
A/B (1-pin control): Selects INPUT A or INPUT B by short-circuiting and opening only 2nd pin terminal. In this setting, you cannot change the
input to INPUT C or INPUT D by the external control.
• Opening:
Changes the input to INPUT A
• Short-circuiting: Changes the input to INPUT B

*1 The 2nd pin terminal works to change the input between INPUT A (opening) and INPUT B (short-circuiting) when
“INPUT REMOTE” in SET-UP MENU is set to “A/B.”
*2 These pin terminals are not in use when “INPUT REMOTE” in SET-UP MENU is set to “A/B.” Do not connect these
pin terminals in such a case.
*3 The 14th pin terminal (External control) should be controlled by the make contact system even when selecting
“TRG.” (the trigger system).
*4 Short-circuiting the 14th pin terminal (External control) enables operating other functions listed above by the
external control.

Operation
1. Short-circuit the 14th pin terminal (External control) to the 15th pin terminal (GND) so that the monitor can be
controlled by the external control.
2. When selecting “MAKE” (the make contact system), operate each function by short-circuiting the
corresponding pin terminal to the 15th pin terminal (GND) or opening it.
When selecting “TRG.” (the trigger system), operate each function by Pulse control, that is short-circuiting the
corresponding pin terminal to the 15th pin terminal (GND) for about 1 second.
NOTES:
When selecting “MAKE” (the make contact system):
• You cannot use the following buttons on the front panel:
UNDER SCAN, COLOR OFF, ASPECT, INPUT SELECT
“REMOTE ON!” appears on the screen if one of those buttons is pressed.
• When more than one terminal of INPUT A to INPUT D are selected (short-circuited), inputs are given the alphabetical priority (A, B, C, D). (We
recommend using an interlock switch which turns off a switch when another switch is turned on.)
When selecting “TRG.” (the trigger system):
• You can use the buttons on the front panel.
• You can operate only one function at a time. (We recommend using a switch which turns on only while it is pressed down.)

The following are not malfunctions:
• When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is displayed for a long period, it may appear to be colored.
This is due to the structure of the cathode ray tube and will disappear when another image is displayed.
• You may sometimes experience a mild electric shock when you touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is
due to a normal buildup of static electricity on the CRT and is not harmful.
• The monitor emits a strange sound when the room temperature changes suddenly. This is only a problem if an
abnormality appears on the screen as well.
• If two or more monitors are placed close each other, their images may shake or be distorted. This phenomenon
is due to mutual interference; it is not a malfunction. Move the monitors away from each other until the
interference disappears or turn the power off on any monitor that is not being used.
