Operation

Power
This section describes how to select a computer or video source and how to
adjust the picture and sound.
General Controls
Before you turn on your MultiSync XV29 Plus monitor ensure that the
computer or video source is turned on.
To adjust:
1. Turn On The Monitor
The power button is on the front panel of the monitor. By turning this
switch on, the POWER/STANDBY indicator will turn to green and the
monitor will become ready to use. OSM is also usable from the front
bezel.
After you press the POWER OFF button SOURCE SELECT on the
remote control, the monitor will go into its standby mode and the
POWER/STANDBY indicator will glow red.
2. Select The Computer Or Video Source
Press the "VIDEO 1" or "VIDEO 2" (VCR, document camera, or laser
disc player), or "RGB 1" or " RGB 2"(computer) button on the remote
control to display the image. Or press the button on the front panel to
the CRT itself, causing color impurities. In these cases, use the DEGAUSS
key once to demagnetize the picture tube. Pressing this key once
demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds.
CAUTION: Please allow a minimum of 30 minutes to elapse between uses
of the DEGAUSS key, when not switching from mode to mode. Do not hold
the key down continuously to avoid decreasing the life of the degauss
circuitry.

Using OSM Controls

NEC's new OSM, or On-Screen Manager, System offers the ultimate form of
monitor controls. Keys on the remote control unit or front bezel allow you to
easily navigate through menus and adjust controls.
OSM controls include extended controls such as Brightness, Contrast, Size,
Position, Pin cushion, Keystone, Vertical Linearity, Scan Select and other
OSM utilities. Adjustments are saved instantly. The currently addressed
control can be reset to factory settings by pressing the NORMAL key.
OSM keys on the remote control unit function as follows:
PROCEED : accesses the OSM controls. When an adjustment item is
selected, a press of this button returns to its icon
selection screen.
EXIT : exits the OSM controls.
select your video source: "VIDEO 1", "VIDEO 2", "RGB 1", or "RGB
2".
NOTE 1: In the U.S.A. the standard video signal format is NTSC, therefore make
sure that the AUTO or NTSC is selected on OSM system control menu. See page
40.
NOTE 2: Select the over scan mode for VIDEO display.
3. Adjust The Raster or The Picture Control.
You can adjust the raster such as the horizontal size, vertical size or side
pincushion correction, and the brightness and contrast of the image with
the remote control.
4. Turning Off The monitor.
Press the POWER OFF button on the remote control or press the POWER
button on the front panel.
Degaussing
The earth's magnetic field and other magnetic sources can magnetize a color
picture tube causing patches of impure colors. This monitor automatically
demagnetizes the picture tube for 5 seconds each time the monitor is
switched on. Sometimes during transportation a severe magnetic field can be
encountered which may require demagnetizing to clear the problem. Also, if
powered on for extended periods of time, magnetic fields can be produced by
POSITION CONTROL up/down
: selects one of the control items.
POSITION CONTROL – /+
: increase or decrease the settings level.
: selects a group icon at top of the OSM screen when any
one of them is highlighted without any specific control
selected.
NORMAL (RASTER/VISUAL)
: resets the currently selected control to the factory
setting.
-when a specific group icon is highlighted, this key
resets all the specific controls settings or all the settings.
-when a specific control is selected: this key resets the
selected adjustments.
NOTE: The NORMAL function is not valid in the OSM Turn Off Time, Language
Select menus, and Volume Control.
