Self-Diagnosis Function; Specifications - Sony Trinitron HMD-A230 Mode D'emploi

If thin lines appear on the screen
(damper wires)
These lines do not indicate a malfunction; they are a normal
effect of the Trinitron picture tube with this monitor. These are
shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille.
The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron
picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the screen,
resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.

Preset and user modes
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the
signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitor's memory to
provide a high quality picture
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the
digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a clear picture
appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor's frequency range
(horizontal: 30 – 80 kHz, vertical: 48 – 170 Hz). If the picture is adjusted,
the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled
whenever the same input signal is received.
Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
S
TAR, and NUTEK. If no signal is received by the monitor from your
computer, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as
shown below.
