Precaution
On Safety
• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the “Specifications” section.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear panel.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a
damaged power cord.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
On Installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block
the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.
On Cleaning of the CRT Surface
• Clean the CRT with a soft cloth.
When the CRT is dirtied with oily hands or
fingerprints, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with
a mild detergent solution.
• Never use abrasive cleansers, alkaline soap, strong
solvents such as alcohol, thinner or benzine, since they
will damage the surface.
• Do not rub the surface of the CRT with a solid object
or hit it.
On Cleaning
To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it
with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents
such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleansers since
they will damage the cabinet. As a safety precaution,
unplug the unit before cleaning it.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit. When shipping the unit to another location, repack
it as illustrated on the carton.
On Mounting on a Rack
Leave 1U space empty above and below the monitor to
ensure adequate air circulation or install a fan to
maintain the monitor’s performance.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
Features
Picture
Trinitron
1)
picture tube
Trinitron tube provides a picture whose horizontal
resolution is more than 600 TV lines at the center of the
picture (for the PVM-14L2/PVM-20L2 only).
Comb filter
When NTSC video signals are received, a comb filter is
activated to enable more accurate Y/C separation. This
contributes to less of a decrease in resolution, and less
cross color and cross luminance phenomena.
Beam current feedback circuit
The built-in beam current feedback circuit assures stable
white balance.
Two color systems available
The monitor can display both NTSC and PAL signals.
The color system of the input signal is automatically
detected.
Input
Analog RGB/component input connectors (for
the PVM-14L2/PVM-20L2 only)
Analog RGB or component (Y, P
B
, P
R
) signals from
video equipment can be input through these connectors.
Press the RGB/COMPONENT button on the control
panel to monitor the signal.
Y/C input connector (S-input connector)
A video signal, split into a luminance component (Y)
and a chrominance component (C), can be input through
this connector, eliminating the interference between the
two components, ensuring picture quality.
