When the AUTO INPUT CHANGE is set to On and there is no signal present in a selected mode, the AUTO INPUT CHANGE will automatically change to a mode where a signal is present. The input mode may also change in the following cases:

  • When a computer is in Standby mode
  • When video play is stopped on the playback device

When the internal temperature of the monitor rises excessively the brightness of the backlight automatically decreases in order to prevent a further rise in temperature. If you attempt to use the Brightness controls on your Remote Control unit while the monitor is in this state, "AUTO DIMMING" will then be displayed and you can not reset the brightness.

Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.

"STATUS (xxxx)" appears in the corner of the screen. The Hardware has a problem. Turn off the monitor and request a repair from an authorized Sharp dealer. (When the Satus Alert is set to OSD & LED. This will vary depending on the setting.)

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 flashes 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 flashing red and green alternately.)

Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise. -If the monitor enters standy mode due to a rise in temperature, to return to NORMAL display mode, turn the power switch off then on again. However, the monitor will enter Standby Mode again if the cause of the temperature rise is not eliminated. 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.
