controlled from an external unit.
* See your dealer for more information on 12 V DC power
supply.
* When both AC IN and DC IN connectors are used, the
AC input has priority.
* The DC power supply does not automatically take over
if an AC outlet is unplugged or the AC power is cut off
when both AC and DC power supplies are connected.
In this case, press the POWER switch to set to OFF,
then press it again to turn the power ON.
Note:
* When you’re controlling the monitor externally via the
TALLY/REMOTE terminal, set all corresponding
switches on the front panel to the OFF (G) position.
(Whichever switch is pressed first has priority so remote
switches may not function if the panel switches are ON

BASIC CONNECTION EXAMPLE
* Before connecting your system, make sure that all units are turned off.
* The illustration below shows some examples of different connections. Terminal connections may differ depending on the
component connected. Be sure to refer to the instructions provided with the unit(s) you are connecting.
* Each pair of input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals are bridge-connected. Do not connect input and output terminals inversely.
* If you're not connecting any equipment to a bridged output (OUT) terminal, be sure not to connect any other cables to the
bridged output (OUT) terminal as this will cause the terminating resistance switch to open (auto terminate function).
* When making a bridge connection, connect the input (IN) and output (OUT) terminals on the monitor to separate video
components.
(For example, if both terminals are connected to the same VCR, resonance may occur except during playback. This is caused
by the same video signal “looping” between the VCRs, and is not a malfunction.)
* Select the video input (LINE A or LINE B) with the LINE A/B switch on the front panel.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Solutions to common problems related to your monitor are described here. If none of the solutions
presented here solves the problem, unplug the monitor and consult a Panasonic-authorized dealer or service
center for assistance.
Problems
Points to be checked
Measures
No power supply.
Is the AC or DC power plug loosened or
disconnected?

Is the battery fully charged (when using DC
power)?
Charge the battery, or replace it with a charged
battery. (Refer to the instructions provided with the
battery.)
No picture with the
power on.
Is the video signal output from the connected
component?
Set the connected component correctly.
Is the input signal selected properly?

Is the monitor being controlled by an external
control unit via the TALLY/REMOTE terminal?
Set the control on the external unit of the same
function as that on the monitor’s front panel to the
OFF (G) position, or disconnect the unit from the
TALLY/REMOTE terminal. (See pages 7 and 8.)

The following are not malfunctions:
● When a bright still image (such as a white cloth) is displayed for a long period, it may appear to be colored. This is due to the
structure of the cathode ray tube and will be deleted when another image is displayed.
● You experience a mild electric shock when you touch the picture tube. This phenomenon is due to a normal buildup of static
electricity on the CRT and is not harmful.
● The monitor emits a strange sound when the room temperature changes suddenly. This is only a problem if an abnormality
appears on the screen as well.
