On what would be the bottom of the prompter monitor (probably the back if you're just sitting it on a desk) there are a series of connectors. Most Sony's came with 2 inputs (A & B) and some came with a Sync in as well. There amongst the inputs on the back will be a set of switches. Some of them will be for 75ohm termination of your inputs. Be sure they're on, unless you're looping out of it. Another switch might be for invert (black on white, or white on black), but this is a rare option. Finally there should be two switches that allow you to change the scanning orientation. One will reverse the horizontal, the other the verticle. Play around with them until you have it correct and you should be good to go. Be aware though that the exact position of the switches and whether they are even there at all will depend on the model of Sony prompter monitor. The real cheapies have like one input and no control at all. Hopefully you will finid yours is one of the higher end ones.

P.S. I'm going to post some pictures of the prompter monitor we use at the studio I work for. Its a different model, an SSM-125, but it should give you an idea of how they're mounted.
