• If the problem persists, call your service representative from a location near your monitor.
• Note the model name and the serial number of your monitor. Also note the make and name of your computer and video
board.
Check these items
• Adjust the convergence (pages 10, 13).
• Adjust the contrast and brightness (pages 8, 12).
• Degauss the monitor (page 15).
If you place equipment which generates a magnetic field such as a loudspeaker, or you
change the direction of the monitor, color may lose uniformity.
This function is to demagnetize the metal frame of the CRT to obtain a neutral field for
uniform color reproduction. If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum
interval of 20 minutes for the best result.
• If red or blue shades are found at the edge of images, adjust the convergence (pages 10,
13).
• If the moire is cancelled, the picture may become fuzzy. Adjust so that the picture is as
clear as possible (pages 10, 14).
• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields. Common
causes for this symptom are electric fans, fluorescent lighting, laser printers, and so on.
• If you have another monitor close to this monitor, increase the distance between them
to reduce the interference.
• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.
• Try the monitor on a completely different computer in a different room.
• Set the refresh rate to non-interlace of 75 Hz or more on the computer referring to the
computer's manual.
• Eliminate the use of video cable extension cable and/or video switch boxes if this
symptom occurs. Excessive cable length or weak connection can produce this symptom.
• These wires stabilize the vertically striped Aperture Grille (page 16). This Aperture
Grille allows more light to pass through to the screen giving the Trinitron CRT more
color and brightness.
• Cancel the moire (pages 10, 14).
The moire may be modified depending on the connected computer.
• Due to the relationship between resolution, monitor dot pitch and the pitch of some
image patterns, certain screen backgrounds, especially gray, sometimes show moire.
Change your desktop pattern.
• When the power is turned on, the auto-degauss cycle is activated. While the Auto-
degauss cycle is activated, a hum may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
