Sony GVM-1311Q - Manual (Page 3)

Precautions Features
• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC.
• Should any solid object or liquid tall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel
before operating it any further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for
several days or more.
• To disconnect the AC power cord, pull it out by grasping
the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
On installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
bulld-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
To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it with
a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth
lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use
strong solvents such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive
cleansers since these 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 in which to transport the unit.
When shipping the unit to another location, repack it as
illustrated on the carton.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.
Note on equipment to be connected
A good-quality picture can be obtained when the GVM-
13t tQ is connected to equipment with the timing indicated
in the “Timing Chart” on page 11. If the monitor is
connected to equipment with the timing not indicated in the
chart, the picture quality may not be assured.
The GVM-1311Q is a high-resolution color video monitor for
use with video or RGB video equipment. Monitoring RGB
signals of 15 kHz to 36 kHz horizontal scanning freqencies
and 50 Hz to 100 Hz vertical scanning frequencies, and
four color video signals are possible with one unit.
Multiscan color monitor
The monitor, which accepts 15 kHz to 36 kHz horizontal
scanning frequencies and 50 Hz to 100 Hz vertical scanning
frequencies, and detects the frequencies automatically, is
compatible with a wide range of video equipment,
VGA Auto size
The AUTO SIZE switch automatically fixes the right picture
size and picture center for a VGA signal from the D-sub 9-
pin input connector.
Four color systems available
The monitor can display PAL, SECAM, NTSCa ss and
NTSC 443 * signals. The appropriate color system is selected
automatically.
* A signal of NTSC443 is obtained by playing back NTSC-recorded
video cassettes with a video tape recorder/player especially
designed for use with this system.
Analog/digital RGB multi connectors
Analog and digital RGB input signals can be fed through the
D-sub 9-pin and 25-pin multi connectors.
Compatible with RGB equipment using 64 coiors
(RGB A)
The monitor allows reproduction of 8, 16 or 64 color for
digital RGB input signals with the 16/64 or 8 COLOR
selector and by sync polarity.
RGB A SELECT connector
Input signals fed through the RGB A connector can be
selected with external equipment.
Automatic termination of the BNC-type video input
connector
The BNC-type video input connector is automatically
terminated at 75 ohms when no cable is connected to the
output connector. When a cable is connected to the output
connector, the signal input through the corresponding IN
connector is output from the output connector.
CONTROL S input connector
Connecting this connector to the CONTROL S output of
video equipment enables remote control operations of the
power on/otf, input select, volume and picture settings
through the video equipment.
Y/C connector
A video signal split into the chrominance (C) signal and the
luminance (Y) signal can be input through this connector,
eliminating the interference between the two signals, which
tends to occur in a composite video signal, and also
assuring the picture quality.
