Power

This section describes how to select a computer or video source and how to adjust the picture and sound.

General Controls

Before you turn on your MultiSync XV29 Plus monitor ensure that the computer or video source is turned on.

To adjust:1.Turn On The Monitor

The power button is on the front panel of the monitor. By turning this switch on, the POWER/STANDBY indicator will turn to green and the monitor will become ready to use. OSM is also usable from the front bezel.

After you press the POWER OFF button SOURCE SELECT on the remote control, the monitor will go into its standby mode and the POWER/STANDBY indicator will glow red.

2.Select The Computer Or Video Source

Press the “VIDEO 1” or “VIDEO 2” (VCR, document camera, or laser disc player), or “RGB 1” or ” RGB 2”(computer) button on the remote control to display the image. Or press the button on the front panel to

the CRT itself, causing color impurities. In these cases, use the DEGAUSS key once to demagnetize the picture tube. Pressing this key once demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds.

CAUTION: Please allow a minimum of 30 minutes to elapse between uses of the DEGAUSS key, when not switching from mode to mode. Do not hold the key down continuously to avoid decreasing the life of the degauss circuitry.

Using OSM Controls

NEC's new OSM, or On-Screen Manager, System offers the ultimate form of monitor controls. Keys on the remote control unit or front bezel allow you to easily navigate through menus and adjust controls.

OSM controls include extended controls such as Brightness, Contrast, Size, Position, Pin cushion, Keystone, Vertical Linearity, Scan Select and other OSM utilities. Adjustments are saved instantly. The currently addressed control can be reset to factory settings by pressing the NORMAL key.

OSM keys on the remote control unit function as follows:
PROCEED: accesses the OSM controls. When an adjustment item is

 

selected, a press of this button returns to its icon

 

selection screen.
EXIT: exits the OSM controls.

select your video source: “VIDEO 1”, “VIDEO 2”, “RGB 1”, or “RGB 2”.

NOTE 1: In the U.S.A. the standard video signal format is NTSC, therefore make sure that the AUTO or NTSC is selected on OSM system control menu. See page 40.

NOTE 2: Select the over scan mode for VIDEO display.

3.Adjust The Raster or The Picture Control.

You can adjust the raster such as the horizontal size, vertical size or side pincushion correction, and the brightness and contrast of the image with the remote control.

4.Turning Off The monitor.

Press the POWER OFF button on the remote control or press the POWER button on the front panel.

Degaussing

The earth's magnetic field and other magnetic sources can magnetize a color picture tube causing patches of impure colors. This monitor automatically demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds each time the monitor is switched on. Sometimes during transportation a severe magnetic field can be encountered which may require demagnetizing to clear the problem. Also, if powered on for extended periods of time, magnetic fields can be produced by

POSITION CONTROL up/down:selects one of the control items.POSITION CONTROL – /+:increase or decrease the settings level.:selects a group icon at top of the OSM screen when anyone of them is highlighted without any specific control selected.NORMAL (RASTER/VISUAL):resets the currently selected control to the factory setting.

-when a specific group icon is highlighted, this key resets all the specific controls settings or all the settings. -when a specific control is selected: this key resets the selected adjustments.

NOTE: The NORMAL function is not valid in the OSM Turn Off Time, Language

Select menus, and Volume Control.
