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 a 4:3 image 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.

(These settings can not be changed.)
MODE2 ...... Will perform standard operation. OFF IF NO OPERATION is set to OFF, and POWER SAVE MODE is set to OFF.
These settings can be changed.
POWER SAVE MODE
When OFF is selected, startup time from standby mode is reduced. Note, however that, more power will be consumed in standby mode.
When ON is selected, current consumption is reduced while the monitor is in standby mode. Note, however, that the startup
time from standby mode becomes longer.
If set to ON, RS-232C commands cannot be used in standby mode and control via LAN is disabled. (See pages 35, 42.)
When set to ON, the monitor enters power standby mode rather than input signal waiting mode when there is no input signal,
and therefore the monitor does not wake up when a signal is input. (See page 18.)

such as a bad connection between the computer and
monitor, nothing is returned (not even ERR).
• “ERR” may be returned when a command cannot be
received correctly due to interference from the surrounding
environment.
Please ensure that the system or software retries the
command if this occurs.
• If no monitor has been assigned the designated ID number
(e.g. if the command IDSL0002 is used, but no monitor
with ID number: 2 is found), no response is returned.

No ID number is attached to WAIT response.
• Commands which return WAIT:
1. When repeater control is used
2. When an IDSL or IDLK command is used
3. When one of the following commands is used: INPS,
ASNC, POWR
nCommunication 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.
VOLM0020

INPS0001
WAIT
OK
Interval of 100 ms or more
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 computer” section.
nID SETTING
You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor (see
page 29). 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.

Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C)
nCommands 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 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 ←
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
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.

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.
• Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 14.)
• Is the main power switch off? (See page 18.)
• Is the monitor in standby mode (the power LED illuminating
in orange)? (See page 18.)
• Make sure correct input mode is selected. (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 17.)
• Are the batteries exhausted?
• Point the remote control unit toward the monitor’s remote
control sensor. (See page 17.)
• Is operation disabled? (See page 30.)
Sound from left and right speakers is reversed.
• 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?
• Is the cable correctly connected to the PC audio input
terminal or AV audio input terminal as appropriate for the
input mode? (See page 13.)
• Is AUDIO OUTPUT or SPEAKER correctly set on the
SETUP menu? (See page 29.)
Unstable video.
• The signal may be incompatible.
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 page
49.)
• If an AV signal such as 1920 x 1080i, 720(1440) x 576i, or
720 (1440) x 480i is displayed using the HDMI[PC] input,
display problems such as faint colors may occur. Display
using HDMI[AV].
The video from the DVI-D input terminal does not appear
properly.
• Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See page
49.)
• Turn off the power to the connected equipment and then
turn the power on again.
• 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.
• If an AV signal such as 1920 x 1080i, 720(1440) x 576i,
or 720 (1440) x 480i is displayed using the DVI-D input,
display problems such as faint colors may occur. Display
using HDMI[AV], D-SUB[COMPONENT] or D-SUB[VIDEO].
The video from D-Sub input terminal does not appear
properly.
•
Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See page 49.)
Control buttons do not work.
There is no picture.
• Load noises from outside may be interfering with normal
operation. Turn off the power and turn it on after waiting at
least 5 seconds, and then check the operation.
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.
Operation is not possible when a USB ash drive / SD
memory card is connected.
• Operation using the remote control or otherwise may not be
possible if a USB ash drive and SD memory card are both
connected. Turn off the main power switch, remove either
device, and then turn on the main power switch.
When a USB ash drive or SD memory card is connected,
it takes a longer time until the monitor starts up.
• When a USB ash drive or an SD memory card is
connected, it is better to turn the power ON/OFF using the
remote control unit. When the power is turned ON using
the main power switch with a USB ash drive or an SD
memory card connected, the monitor startup takes a longer
time because the monitor checks USB port or SD card slot
connection after checking other terminal connections.
A le in the USB ash drive or the SD memory card does
not play properly.
• Is the le in a supported format? (See page 26.)
The following problems may occur if a non-supported
format is used:
- The le does not play properly.
- Pausing or Move forward/back cannot be performed
during playback.
- Abnormal play speed
- Operations cannot be performed during playback
- Playback stops. The player application restarts.
• When using a USB ash drive, is the cable connected to
the power supply terminal? (See page 10.)
• Are both a USB ash drive and SD memory card
connected? These cannot be connected simultaneously.
The screen turns black when a le in a USB ash drive or
an SD memory card is played.
• The screen will turn black if none of the les in the play list
are in the USB ash drive or the SD memory card. Press
INPUT
to exit.
No power is supplied from the power supply terminal.
• Is the cable connected to the USB port? (See page 10.)
• Check the power specications (5V, 2A).
• If overcurrent occurs, a protective circuit will activate and
stop the supply of power. Remove the connected device
and then eliminate the cause of the overcurrent.
The USB ash drive is not recognized.
• Did you connect an unsupported device such as a USB
keyboard? Turn the main power switch off and on.
45 E
Unable to distribute from “SHARP Content Distributor”.
• Check the amount of free space in the media (USB ash
drive or SD memory card) to which you are copying.
• Are both a USB ash drive and SD memory card
connected? These cannot be connected simultaneously.
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.
- If the brightness of the backlight is lowered automatically,
set the brightness again. The brightness will not
automatically return to the original setting even if the
temperature decreases.
- If the monitor automatically enters standby mode,
the power will not turn on automatically even if the
temperature decreases. Turn on the power and set the
brightness again.

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.
