Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Sony Multiscan CPD-120AS/
220AS display!
This display incorporates over 25 years of Sony experience with Trinitron
display technology, ensuring excellent performance and outstanding
reliability.
This display’s wide scan range (30 – 70 kHz), together with Digital
Multiscan Technology, allows it to sync to any video mode from
standard VGA through VESA 1024 × 768 at 85 Hz (VESA 1280 × 1024 at
60 Hz).
In addition, its two factory preset color modes and one user adjustable
color mode gives you unprecedented flexibility in matching on-screen
colors to hard copy printouts.
Furthermore, it features:
• Graphic Picture Enhancement function
enabling you to create pictures for the multi-media sources.
• Bass Boost Function
enabling you to select sound quality according to the source.
• Excellent sound reproduction
via a 10 W sub-woofer and two 3.5 W tweeter speakers.
All together, CPD-120AS/220AS delivers incredible performance with
the quality and support you can expect from Sony.
Plug and play
This display complies with the DDC™1 and DDC2B which are the
Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of VESA.
When a DDC1 host system is connected, the display synchronizes with
the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA standards and outputs the
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to the data line.
When a DDC2B host system is connected, the display automatically
switches to DDC2B communication.
DDC™ is a trademark of Video Electronics Standard Association.

Precautions
Installation
• Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air circulation.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near
materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts,
nor in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical
vibration or shock.
• Do not place the unit near equipment which generates magnetism,
such as a converter or high voltage power lines.
Maintenance
• Clean the cabinet, glass panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or
abrasive items, like a ball point pen or a screwdriver, as this type of
contact may result in a scratched picture tube.
Transportation
• Do not discard the carton and packing materials. When transporting
the unit, use these packing materials so that the unit is properly
packaged.
• When carrying the unit, pay attention not to get your hands caught
between the display and the tilt-swivel.

Warning on Power Connection
• Use the supplied power cord.
For the customers in UK.
If you use the display in UK, please use the supplied UK cable with
UK plug.
for 100 to 120 V AC for 220 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only
• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after
turning off the power switch to discharge static electricity from the
CRT display surface.
• After the power has been turned on, the CRT is demagnetized for
approximately 5 seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field
around the bezel which may affect the data stored on magnetic tape or
disks near the bezel. Place such magnetic recording equipment and
tapes/disks at a distance from this unit.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.

Damper wire
Using a white background, very thin horizontal lines on the screen are
visible as shown below. These lines are the damper wires.
The Trinitron tube has a vertically striped Aperture Grille inside. The
Aperture Grille allows more light to pass through to the screen giving
the Trinitron CRT more color and brightness.
The damper wires are attached to the Aperture Grille to prevent
vibration of the Aperture Grille wire so that the screen image is
constantly stable.
