Overview

The 232-ATSC HDTV Tuner is an integrator-friendly universal HDTV tuner, controllable via two-way RS-232

and discrete IR commands. Able to fit two-across in a 2RU rack space, the compact tuner outputs HDMI,

RGB/Component, and composite video simultaneously. NTSC broadcasts are upscaled for HD display. Digital

audio is available from HDMI, coax, and optical connections, as well as variable-level stereo audio. Setup is

a snap, employing on-screen menus, included IR remote, front-panel programming, and RS-232 control

commands.

For home theater applications, the 232-ATSC offers no-compromise full-bandwidth image quality of local

HDTV broadcasts and can access multi-channel programs - features not supported by over-compressed cable

and satellite "HD" programming.

For commercial installations, the 232-ATSC tunes in today's and tomorrow's programming, and can receive

conventional cable channels as well as local HDTV broadcasts from an off-air antenna.

Contemporary Research 7 232-ATSC Digital HDTV Tuner

Troubleshooting

POWER/VIDEO OUTPUT

Symptom: Tuner appears to be on, channel display is lit, but unresponsive, no video/audio out

•This often occurs when a 232-ATSC is used to replace an old 232-series analog tuner.

•The solution is to not use the old 500 Ma power supply, and use the 1.5 Amp power supply that

comes with the ATSC. The old supply has enough juice to light up the front panel LEDs, but nothing

else.

Symptom: No video on Component Out

•The RGB and Component outputs are switchable, and the tuner ships set to RGB. Use Front Panel

Mode, next section to switch the HD analog video to Component.

HDMI

Symptom: No Video or Signal

•Most monitors accept HDMI in the RGB and Component color space, but there are exceptions. Try

switching from RGB to Component (Front panel mode 48).

•Switch between 720p and 1080i, or down to 480P or 480i for old DVI sets. (Front panel mode 49)

•If you’re connecting via a Cat5 interface, HDMI receiver, or switcher, some delay the HDCP signal

slightly out of range. Call CR Support on how to extend the delay on HDMI.

Symptom: No audio or fluttering sound in display speakers connected via HDMI

Change ATSC digital audio to PCM or PCM variable (most displays do not use Dolby 5.1)

RGB/Component

Symptom: No RGB or Component Video output

Check the RGB or Component output setting in Front Panel mode 48 (48.0 is RGB, 48.2 is Component).

Symptom: No output display on VGA input

Some monitors or projectors do not support 1080i or 720P operation on the RGB port. Set resolution in Front

Panel mode 49 (49.2 for 480P).

Composite Video

Symptom: Composite video out has small image in 16:9 setting, analog channels

•For a 4:3 set, tune to an analog channel and press RATIO on the remote to set to 16:9. Image will

fill left to right, you’ll always have a black band top and bottom.

•Set to 4:3 if you’re only feeding video to 4:3 TVs.

•Set output ratio on a digital channel as well - this a different setting than for analog channels.

•If the tuner is used for 16:9 displays and analog TVs, choose the best setting for the widescreen,

and the NTSC will have to be a compromise. Most of the time, setting the RATIO while tuned to an

analog channel and again for a digital channel will provide the best result.

IR Control

Symptom: IR remote won’t control tuner

Hold down IR remote Select, press 9, and release both. Front-panel setting should be 15.9.

Line 21 (analog) Captioning on Video Output

Symptom: Video out does not include captioning

The 232-ATSC does not pass on closed captioning codes when tuned to an analog channel. However, all

captioning from digital TV channels is converted to analog captioning on the video output.

HD2-RC IR Remote

The HD2-RC IR Remote included with the 232-ATSC can be used to setup the tuner and for daily operation.

All of the functions on the remote have equivalent commands in RS-232, Ethernet, and Wired IR formats. In

addition, the 232-ATSC front panel buttons can perform Power, Channel, and Volume control.

Power

Turns tuner on and off. Discrete on and off IR commands are

available as well.

Volume Control

Use the Vol+, Vol- and Mute buttons.

Channel Selection

The key change in digital tuning is the need to add a dash (-) and

number after the traditional channel number. Analog channels are

accessed using XX-0, digital channels using XX-1 (or -2, -3, etc).

Ch+, Ch- and PrevCh can be used to access and recall channels.

Menu Operation

Press Menu to access the on-screen menus.

•Use the directional Arrows, Select and Exit to navigate the

menus.

•List displays the list of all channels, arrow keys add/remove

channels, set Favorite Channel list

•Exit steps backwards out of menus

•Enter selects menu choice

Special Functions

•CC steps through available closed-captioning options

•Audio selects audio and SAP modes

•Signal displays channel signal level

•Ratio steps through aspect ratios, options depend on

channel and output types

•Info launches on-screen information window

•A/C selects Air or Cable tuning

•Fav Displays list of favorite channels

•Guide displays on-screen Guide

Features of many of the Special Function commands depend on

whether the current channel is analog or digital.

Tip: The output rules behave differently for digital and analog

channels. When you set up the tuner, use the RATIO button to set

image output for a digital channel, then tune to an analog channel

and set that to 16:9 or 4:3. The same rule applies to the

Menu/Setup/Screen Format menus. Set for analog and digital.

On-Screen Menus

Main Menu

Selects sub-menus.

•Arrow keys highlight option

•Select (or Enter) chooses option

•Menu steps back or exits menus

•Exit exits all menus

•Some options are only available if you are currently

tuned to an analog or digital channel

Channel Menus

Sub-Menu for Channels offers options for:

•Channel Auto-Scan

•Favorite Channel Selection

•Add/Delete Channels

•Fine Tune (If tuned to an analog channel)

•Signal Strength Meter

Auto-Scan

Starts scan of analog and digital channels for:

•Air – looks for NTSC and ATSC channels

•Cable Auto – looks for analog and digital QAM cable

channels, as well as all frequency plans

•Cable STD - standard cable spacing

•Cable HRC – HRC cable spacing

•Cable IRC – IRC cable spacing

•

Tip:

Normally, use Auto. Most cable channels will be in standard

frequencies. If all the channels tune in STD but channels 5

and 6, scan for IRC. If few channels can be found, scan for

HRC.
