3.0 CHECKING PACKAGE CONTENTS

Before attempting to use this unit, please check the packaging and make certain the following items are contained in the shipping carton:

• 1x 1T-FC-326 Format Converter
• 2x Hex Nut/Screws
- 1x AC Adapter
• 1x Operation Manual

Note: Please retain the original packing material should the need ever arise to return the unit. If you find any items are missing, contact your reseller or TV One immediately. Have the Model Number, Serial Number and Invoice available for reference when you call.

4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE

Please study the panel drawings below and become familiar with the signal input, outputs, power requirements/inputs plus any controls present.

TVONETASK™ 1T-FC-326 HDMI to Component Format Converter ○ ○ 1 2 □ POWER □

INPUT 1 2 COAXIAL L R Pr(R-Y) Pb(B-Y) Y OUTPUT 5VDC

Connect the included AC adapter to a functional AC wall socket and then to the 1T-FC-326 Format Converter. Next, turn off any equipment intended to be connected to the 1T-FC-326 and, using high quality cables, connect the external equipment to the unit's inputs and output. Verify that the cables are fully seated in their respective connectors.

If HDMI cables are used that are equipped with Locking type connectors, an added step is necessary. Remove the Philips head screws from the rear of the unit just above the HDMI connectors and replace them with the Hex Nut/Screws that came in the 1T-FC-326 accessory pack. After screwing these into the threaded holes vacated by the Philips head screws, the Hex Nut provides a threaded receptacle for the screw that is part of the locking HDMI connector on the cable. Plug in the cable's Locking HDMI connector and secure it to the unit with its integral screw. This secures the cable to the unit and prevents its inadvertent removal.

Turn on the 1T-FC-326 Format Converter, the HDMI source device(s) and then the analog component equipment connected to the Format Converter's output.

Select the desired input using either the front panel input select button on the 1T-FC-326 or the included Infrared remote control.

To select the input manually, press the input button on the 1T-FC-326 and observe the LEDs located immediately above the input select button. These LEDs will show which input has been selected.

You may also make your selection using the included remote. The remote will turn the 1T-FC-326 "On" or "Off" and also select one of the two available inputs. (Note that the remote buttons labeled 3 and 4 do not perform any function. Only the buttons labeled Power and the 1 and 2 buttons are functional.)

5.1 HDCP Support

High Definition Content Protection (HDCP) is fully supported on the 1T-FC-326. Please Note –

If the HDMI signal(s) contain HDCP content protection, the LED above the protected input will flash and there will be no signal present on the component outputs.

This is not a fault of the unit, but normal operating condition when an HDCP material is fed into the HDMI input.

5.2 Bitstream and LPCM Audio Support

This unit supports both 2-Channel LPCM audio and Compressed Bitstream audio (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc) however, because the unit will not decode the Bitstream formats they can only be output via the Coaxial connection. 2-Channel LPCM audio will be output over both the Coaxial and L/R Stereo connections. LPCM sources with more than 2-Channels of audio are not supported.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

Aside from faulty AC or DC power, most problems with the 1T-FC-326 relate to damaged/poor quality cables or incorrect signal levels.

If some inputs function correctly and others do not, interchange cables between sources and see if the problem moves with the cables. If it moves, a bad cable or cable connector is the probable reason for the trouble. If the problem remains with one particular input, connect that source to a different input using the same cable and see if the problem moves. If it does, the problem is with the source.

After trying the above suggestions should the problem still persist, contact your dealer for additional suggestions before contacting TV One. Should the dealer's technical personnel be unable to assist you, contact TV One via our support website:
