Mounting Precautions
• Special techniques are required to mount this monitor, so be sure to rely on an authorized Sharp dealer
for installation work. You should never perform any of this work yourself. Our company will bear no respon-
sibility for accidents or injuries caused by improper mounting or handling.
•Moving or installing the monitor must be done by two or more people.
•Keep the monitor surface perpendicular to a level surface or tilt up to a maximum of 20 degrees down-
ward.
• This monitor is equipped with two temporary stands when shipped from the factory. Please note that
these stands are for temporary use only until the monitor is properly mounted.
• Be sure to use a stand or a wall-mount/ceiling-mount bracket designed or designated for mounting the
monitor.
• Do not lay the monitor display-side down or up as this could lead to a malfunction.
• When mounting the monitor, the following amount of open space is required to clear the ventilation for the
monitor; at least 7.9 inch (20 cm) above, 1.97 inch (5 cm) right/left/below, and 2.76 inch (7 cm) behind the

Advanced operation
This section explains commands for daisy chain connection. The basic communication procedure is the
same as in the “Basic operation” section.
<ID numbers>
You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see page 34). This allows you to control a particular
monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.
Up to about 20 monitors can be connected, depending on the length of RS-232C cables and installation
environment.
You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen (via remote control or the control buttons on the
monitor) or from the PC using RS-232C cable.
[Example]
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like “Set the volume of the
monitor with ID 4 to 20”.
When controlling monitors linked in a daisy chain by designating ID numbers, you should basically avoid
any duplication of ID numbers.
If the same ID number is assigned to multiple monitors, only the monitor closest to the PC can be con-
trolled with that ID number.
If monitors are connected as shown below, only the monitor (1) can be accessed with ID number 2.
Monitor (2) cannot be controlled using that ID number.
[Example]
ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order starting from the PC. They can also be con-
nected as shown below.
[Example]
PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4
PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 2 ID number: 3
(1) (2)
PC ID number: 3 ID number: 2 ID number: 4 ID number: 1

<Commands for ID control>
The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID number set up.
IDST......A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID number in the parameter field.
Example: IDST0001
OK_001 ← The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.
PC ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3 ID number: 4
After linking monitors, you can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with
the Repeater control (see “Repeater control” on page 49).
[Example]
If you connect monitors as shown above, and use the command “IDST001+”, ID numbers will be set
automatically, as shown below.
[Example]
IDST001+ ← ID setting command with repeater control
WAIT
OK 001 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=1
OK 002 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=2
OK 003 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=3
OK 004 ← ID = “OK” response from ID number=4 (End)

IDSL.......The parameter of this command sets the ID number indicating the monitor subject to the
next command.
Example:
IDSL0002 ← The next command is for the monitor with ID number=2.
WAIT ← Searching for monitor with ID number=2
OK_002 ← Found monitor with ID number=2
VOLM0030 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 30.
WAIT ← Processing
OK_002 ← OK response from monitor with ID number=2
VOLM0020 ← Sets volume to 20.
OK_001 ← The volume of the monitor with ID number=1
(the one directly connected to the PC) is set to 20.
IDLK....... The parameter of this command sets the ID number indicating the monitor subject to all
subsequent commands.
Example:
IDLK0002 ← Following commands are for the monitor whose ID number is “2”.
WAIT ← Searching for monitor with ID number=2
OK_002 ← Found monitor with ID number=2
VOLM0030 ← Sets volume of monitor with ID number=2 to 30.

IDCK ...... Provides screen display of the ID number currently assigned to a monitor, and the ID num-
ber currently set for IDLK (if any).
Example:
(After executing IDLK0002)
IDCK0000 ← (Parameter has no meaning.)
ID:001 IDLK:002 ← Returned response. The ID number is also displayed on the monitor screen.
IDCK000+ ← Repeater control
(If a command is used with repeater control, ID designation using IDSL or
IDLK is canceled.)
WAIT
ID:001 IDLK:002
ID:002 IDLK:002
ID:003 IDLK:002
ID:004 IDLK:002
The IDSL command is
effective only once, for the
immediately succeeding
command.
The IDLK command remains
effective until it is canceled, or
power is shut off.

<Repeater control>
This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a
single command. This function is called repeater control.
The number of connectable monitors varies depending on the length of the cable used and the surround-
ing environment.
You can use Repeater control function without assigning ID numbers.
[Example]
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input
settings to INPUT1”.
<Repeater control command>
Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.
Example:
VOLM030+ ← Sets volume of all monitors to 30.
In repeater control, responses are returned by all the connected monitors.*
If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specific set, assign ID numbers to
each monitor in advance.
If no response is returned, this may be because the monitor has not received (or is still processing)
the command, so it is possible that new commands may not be executed even if they
are sent.
* If power is turned “OFF” using Repeater control, only the monitor closest to the PC returns a re-
sponse.
Example:
(When 4 monitors are connected, and assigned ID numbers 1 through 4)
VOLM030+
WAIT
OK_001
OK_002
OK_003
OK_004 ← If 4 monitors are connected in a chain, reliable operation can be ensured by sending
a new command only after a reply has been returned by 4th (last) monitor.
Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.
Example:
VOLM???+
WAIT
10 001
20 002
Volume settings for all monitors are returned.
30 003
40 004
• If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL, IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

<Response format in Advanced operation >
■ Normal response
• Response when no ID number has been set
A response is returned when execution of the
pertinent command is finished.
• Response when an ID number has been set
■ When a command has not been executed correctly*
• Response when no ID number has been set
• Response when an ID number has been set
* This is returned when there is no such command, or when the command cannot be used in the current state of
the monitor (i.e. video auto-adjustment with video display).
* If communication has not been established for reasons like a bad connection with the monitor, nothing is returned
(not even ERR).
* If no monitor has been assigned the designated ID number (e.g. if the command IDSL0002 is used, but no
monitor with ID=002 is found), no response is returned.

■ If execution of the command is taking some time
If execution of a command takes some time,
WAIT may be returned as the returned value. In
this case, a value will be returned if you wait a
while. During this time, new commands will not
be received, even if they are sent.
No ID number is attached to WAIT response.
• Cases where WAIT is returned
- When repeater control is used
- When an IDSL or IDLK command is used
- When one of the following commands is used: RSET, INPS, ASNC, WIDE, EMAG, EPOS, PXSL,
POWR
■ When control via RS-232C is locked (to prevent use) using the operation lock function (see
page 34)
■ If a timeout occurs while waiting for a command
■ If a timeout occurs while waiting for a command (when the monitor waiting for the command
is assigned an ID number = 001 in the following example)
■ If the current parameter is read out using “?” for the parameter (for numerical values etc.)
• Response when no ID number has been set
Example:
VOLM????
10
• Response when an ID number has been set (In the example below: ID=001)
Example:
VOLM????
10_001
<Communication interval>
• If the next command is sent in the interval before OK or ERR is returned, it will basically be ignored.
(Exception: Forced end using ASNC command)
• Leave an interval of 100 ms between command response and transmission of the next command.

• Are the batteries inserted with polarity ( , )
aligned?
• Are the batteries worn out?
•Point the remote control unit toward the monitor’s
remote control sensor.
• Is the menu display locked?
• Are audio cables connected properly?
• Make sure audio cables for external speakers are
connected properly: left and right cables may be
reversed or one of the two cables may not be
connected.
• Make sure the volume is not set to minimum.
• Video, S-video, component and RGB terminals
are for video only. Make sure audio cables are
also connected.

■ Warning when temperature rises
Nature of warning:
• The power LED lights up red and the monitor enters standby mode.
Solution:
• If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in temperature, you can turn off the main power
switch and turn it back on again. However the monitor will enter standby mode again if the cause of
the temperature rise is not eliminated.
• Check whether the monitor is placed at a location where a quick rise in temperature is likely. Internal
temperature rises quickly if the vents on the back are blocked.
• Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates inside the monitor or around the vents.
Remove dust if possible. Ask your dealer about removing internal dust.
• If the power LED blinks red, there might be a problem with the fan.
Cracking sound
The monitor sometimes makes a cracking sound.
•You may hear cracking sound from the monitor. This happens
when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts according to
change in temperature. This does not affect the monitor’s
performance.

■ Power management
This monitor conforms to VESA DPMS and DVI DMPM. Both your video card and computer must support
the same standard in order for the monitor’s power management function to work.
DPMS: Display Power Management Signaling
DMPM: Digital Monitor Power Management
■ DDC (plug and play)
The monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard.
DDC is a signal standard for plug and play between monitors and computers. Information about resolu-
tion and other parameters is exchanged between the two. This function can be used if the computer
supports DDC and it has been configured to detect plug-and-play monitors.
There are several types of DDC, depending on the communication method used. This monitor supports
DDC2B.
