Why does my Sony CPD-E500 Marketing say OUT OF SCAN RANGE?

  Phyllis GarzaSep 4, 2025
  The 'OUT OF SCAN RANGE' message on your Sony Monitor indicates that the input signal is not supported by the monitor’s specifications. If 'CHANGE SIGNAL TIMING' appears, and you replaced an old monitor, reconnect the old monitor and adjust the computer’s graphic board so that the horizontal frequency is between 30 - 109 kHz, and the vertical frequency is between 48 - 160 Hz.
