Sony CPD-420GS - Manual (Page 13)

Technical Features
Preset and user modes
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the 26 factory preset modes stored in
the monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the
center of the screen. (See the 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: 30-96 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 gr^hic video board manual or
the utility program which comes with your graphic video 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 the monitor is connected to a
computer or graphic video board that is DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will

Troubleshooting
This section may help you find the cause of a problem so you can
solve the problem yourself.
if thin lines appear on your screen
(damper wires)
The lines you may be seeing on your screen are normal for the
Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. These are shadows
from the damper wires that 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.
