TIPS
• Using this monitor’s screen-size switching function 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.
• When dual-screen display is selected, the screen size cannot be changed.
• 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 4:3 video is viewed with the whole screen using the screen-size switching function of this monitor, the edge of the video
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.

TIPS
• When executing ALL RESET, set the interval until the next
command is sent to at least 30 seconds.
• When turning the power on while the POWER ON DELAY
function is in use, set the interval until the next command
is sent 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 computer” section.
nID numbers
You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor. (See
page 26.) 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 computer 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 computer. They can also be connected as
shown below.

nCommands for ID control
The command examples shown on this page assume the
following connection and ID number set up.
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 38).
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 computer) 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 ←Processing
OK 002
VOLM0020 ←Sets volume of monitor with ID
number: 2 to 20.*
WAIT
OK 002
IDLK0000 ←Canceling xed ID number setting
WAIT ←Canceling IDLK
OK 002 ←Cancelation complete
VOLM0010
OK 001 ←
The volume of the monitor with ID number:
1 (the one directly connected to the
computer) is set to 10. (IDLK is canceled.)
* The IDLK command remains effective until it is
canceled, or power is shut off.
IDCK ........Provides screen display of the ID number currently
assigned to a monitor, and the ID number 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 : 000
ID : 002 IDLK : 000
ID : 003 IDLK : 000
ID : 004 IDLK : 000

E
Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C)
nRepeater 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[RGB]”.
nRepeater 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.
20 002
30 003
30 004
TIPS
• If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL,
IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing any problem with your display, before
calling for service, please review the following troubleshooting tips.
There is no picture or sound.
• The power LED is off.
- Is power supplied to this monitor?
- Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 13.)
- Is the main power switch off? (See page 17.)
• The power LED lights orange.
- This monitor is in standby mode. Turn on the power. (See
page 17.)
• The power LED ashes green.
- There is no input signal.
- Is an input mode selected that is appropriate for the input
terminal to which the cable is connected? (See page 20.)
- If any external equipment is connected, make sure the
equipment is operating (playing back).
Remote control does not work.
• Are the batteries inserted with polarity (+,-) aligned? (See
page 15.)
• Are the batteries exhausted?
• Point the remote control unit toward the monitor’s remote
control sensor. (See page 15.)
• Is the menu display hidden or is operation disabled? (See
page 33.)
• Do the remote control numbers on the remote control unit
and on the monitor match?
Check the numbers on INFORMATION. (See page 32.)
Sound from left and right speakers is reversed.
Sound is heard from only one side.
• Are audio cables connected properly?
There is a picture but no sound.
• Is the sound muted?
• Make sure the volume is not set to minimum.
• Are audio cables connected properly?
Unstable video.
• The signal may be incompatible.
• Try the automatic screen adjustment when D-SUB[RGB] is
in use.
The video from the HDMI input terminal does not appear
properly.
• Is the HDMI cable HDMI standard compliant? The monitor
will not work with cables that are not standard compliant.
• Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages
47 and 48.)
The video from D-Sub input terminal does not appear
correctly.
• Is the setting for D-SUB of INPUT SELECT on the SETUP
menu correct? (See page 26.)
• Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages
47 and 48.)
The video from the DisplayPort does not appear properly.
• Is the DisplayPort cable DisplayPort standard compliant?
The monitor will not work with cables that are not standard
compliant.
•
Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See page 47.)
• If the monitors are connected in a daisy chain, turn off the
power to all the monitors connected in a daisy chain and
then turn the power on again.
Control buttons do not work.
There is no picture.
• Load noises from outside may be interfering with normal
operation. Turn off the main power and turn it on after
waiting at least 5 seconds, and then check the operation.
The input mode changes automatically.
• When NO SIGNAL AUTO INPUT SEL. is ON and
the current video signal input stops, the input mode
automatically changes to the mode of an active video
signal.
Consequently, the input mode may change even in the
following cases:
- When a computer enters standby mode.
- When video play is stopped with a playback device.
Power LED ashes red.
“STATUS [xxxx]” appears in the corner of the screen.
• Hardware has a problem. Turn off the monitor and request
repair from your SHARP dealer.
(When STATUS ALERT is set to OSD & LED. This varies
depending on the setting.)
When “AUTO DIMMING” is displayed.
• When the internal temperature of the monitor rises
excessively, the brightness of the backlight automatically
decreases in order to prevent a further temperature rise. If
you attempt to adjust the brightness while the monitor is in
this state, “AUTO DIMMING” is displayed and you cannot
change the brightness.
• Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.
The monitor makes a cracking sound.
• You may occasionally hear a 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.
The Power LED is ashing in red and green alternately.
When “TEMPERATURE” is displayed in the corner of the
screen.
• 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, “TEMPERATURE” is
displayed on the screen and the Power LED ashes red
and green alternately. (When TEMPERATURE ALERT is
set to OSD & LED. This varies depending on the setting.)
• 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 7.)
- 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.
nDDC (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.
