TIPS
• Using this monitor’s screen-size switching to compress or expand the screen for commercial or public viewing in
establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as protected by Copyright Law, so please be
careful.
• When “Enlarge” is set, the screen size is xed to WIDE mode.
• The appearance of the original video may change if you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original
image (e.g. TV broadcast or video input from external equipment).
• When an ordinary non-wide image (4:3) is viewed with the whole screen using the screen-size switching function of this
monitor, the edge of the image may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the creator’s intentions, set the screen
size to NORMAL.
• When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) may be cropped. In this case select the optimal screen
size using the screen-size switching function of this monitor. With some software, there may be noise or distortion at the
edges of the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.
• Depending on the original image size, black bands may remain at the edges of the screen.

n
Communication interval
• After OK or ERR is returned, you must send the following
commands.
To set a timeout for the command response, specify 10
seconds or longer.
When connecting multiple monitors in a daisy chain, set the
timeout to at least the product of the monitor’s position from
the computer multiplied by 10 seconds.
Example) 3rd monitor from computer: 30 seconds or longer.
• Provide an interval of 100 ms or more between the
command response and the transmission of the next
command.

TIPS
• When turning the power on while the POWER ON DELAY
function is in use, set the timeout period to the POWER ON
DELAY period + 10 seconds or longer.
Advanced operation
This section explains commands for daisy chain connection.
The basic communication procedure is the same as in the
“One-to-one connection with a PC” section.
n
ID SETTING
You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see
page 27). This allows you to control a particular monitor in a
daisy chain of monitors.
You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen or
from the PC using RS-232 cable.
[Example]
ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3ID number: 4
If monitors are connected as shown above, you can
execute commands like “Set the volume of the monitor with
ID 4 to 20”.
When designating ID numbers for a set of monitors linked in a
daisy chain, you should basically avoid any duplication of ID
numbers.
ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order
starting from the PC. They can also be connected as shown
below.

Commands for ID control
The command examples shown on this page assume the
following connection and ID SETTING.
ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3ID number: 4
IDST ......... A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID
number in the parameter eld.
Example:
IDST0001
OK
001 ←
The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.
TIPS
You can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST
command with the Repeater control (see “Repeater control”
on page 35).
For example, using the command “IDST001+” automatically
sets the ID numbers, as shown below.
[Example]
ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3ID number: 4
IDST001 + ←
ID setting command with repeater control
WAIT
OK
001 ←
“OK” response from ID number: 1
OK 002 ←
“OK” response from ID number: 2
OK 003 ←
“OK” response from ID number: 3
OK 004 ←
“OK” response from ID number: 4 (End)
IDSL ........The parameter of this command sets the ID number
of the monitor. The monitor is 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.*
* The IDSL command is effective only once, for the
immediately succeeding command.
IDLK ........
The parameter of this command sets the ID
number of the monitor. The monitor is subject to all
subsequent commands.
Example:
IDLK0002 ←
Following commands are 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 ←

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. You can use Repeater
control function without assigning ID numbers.
[Example]
Set 1
Set 2 Set
3S
et 4
* If monitors are connected as shown above, you can
execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input settings to
D-SUB”.
n
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
specic set, assign ID numbers to each monitor in advance.
When some monitors do not return their responses, the
probable cause is that the monitors could not receive the
command or command processing is not complete. Do not
send a new command.
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
Volume settings for all
monitors are returned.

The Power LED is ashing in red and green alternately.
• When the internal temperature of the monitor rises
excessively, the brightness of the backlight decreases
automatically in order to prevent high-temperature-related
problems. When this occurs, the Power LED ashes red
and green alternately.
• If the internal temperature rises further, the monitor
automatically enters standby mode. (The Power LED
continues ashing red and green alternately.)
• Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.
- If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in
temperature, to return to normal display, turn the power
switch off and then back on again. The monitor, however,
will enter standby mode again if the cause of the
temperature rise is not eliminated. (See page 8.)
- 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 monitor are blocked.
- Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates
inside the monitor or around the vents. Remove dust if
possible. Ask SHARP dealer about removing internal dust.

When mounting the monitor, be sure to use a wall-mount bracket that complies with the VESA-compatible mounting method.
SHARP recommends using M6 screws and tighten the screws.
Note that screw hole depth of the monitor is 3/8 inch (10 mm). Loose mounting may cause the product to fall, resulting in
serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. The screw and hole should come together with over 5/16 inch
(8 mm) length of thread. Use a bracket which has been approved for UL1678 standard, and which can endure at least 4 times
or more the weight of the monitor.

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 resolution and other parameters
is exchanged between the two. This function can be used if the computer supports DDC and it has been congured to detect
plug-and-play monitors.
There are several types of DDC, depending on the communication method used. This monitor supports DDC2B.
