Frequently Asked Questions - HMB 1000 XORO

How do I connect the HMB 1000 to my TV?

Use the supplied AV adapter cable (yellow-red-white) for composite video, plugging the phone jack into the AV OUT port and the RCA ends into the TV's AV input. For better quality, use the component cable (red-green-blue) into the YPbPr port and set the video output to 720p if your TV supports it. Also connect audio using the AV OUT socket.

Why is there no power?

Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to the player and the wall outlet. Press the POWER button on the remote control or the unit. If still no power, check the adapter and try a different outlet.

The remote control does not work. What should I do?

Check the battery (CR2025) orientation and replace if depleted. Remove any obstacles between the remote and the infrared sensor. Operate within 5 meters and at an angle of 60 degrees or less.

No picture on the TV screen.

Verify cable connections and select the correct input on your TV. Press the TV MODE button repeatedly on the remote or unit until a stable picture appears. If still no picture, connect via composite (CVBS) first and then switch outputs.

Check that the audio cables are properly connected. Ensure the TV or amplifier is set to the correct input. For YUV connections, an additional audio cable is required. Verify the audio track exists and the volume is not muted.

How do I display subtitles for my video?

Only external MPEG-4 subtitles in SMI, MICRO DVD (sub), SRT, or SUBVIEWER V.2 (sub) formats are supported. The subtitle file must have the same name as the movie file (e.g., movie.srt for movie.avi). Press the SUBTITLE button on the remote during playback to toggle subtitles.

The picture has wrong aspect ratio (stretched).

Press the 16:9/4:3 button on the remote control repeatedly to cycle through aspect ratio options: keep aspect ratio, 4:3, 16:9 Mode1, 16:9 Mode2, and full screen. Choose the one that corrects the distortion.

My USB stick or memory card is not recognized.

Ensure the device is formatted in FAT32, FAT, or NTFS. The maximum supported capacity is 16 GB. Try reinserting the storage. If it still doesn't work, test a different brand or smaller capacity drive.

Glossary

5.1 Channel

5.1-multichannel encoding means, that 5 audio channels with full frequency response are present (left, center, right, surround left, surround right) plus a subwoofer channel (represented by the „1”) providing deep humming frequencies you are used to know from modern cinemas. Both Dolby Digital® (including AC3) and DTS® support 5.1-coding and -decoding.

Aspect ratio: 4:3 and 16:9

Full Frame refers to programs developed for TV display with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Widescreen refers to programs developed for screens with an aspect ratio of 16:9. If a widescreen program is displayed on a 4:3 screen, the picture will have black borders on top and bottom.

Component-Signal

please refer to YUV

CVBS

Composite Video Interface. The video signal is transmitted via a single signal line. CVBS should only be used, if your playback device does not offer other interfaces for connection with you Xoro TV set, as CVBS due to technical reasons delivers worst quality of all available interfaces (please also refer to YUV, S-Video, SCART and RGB). The CVBS interface can easily be identified from the yellow colour of the RCA jack.

Dolby Digital ^® 5.1

Dolby Digital ^® 5.1 is a system for transmission and storage of 5.1 channel sound on digital media as DVD, digital TV and satellite transmission. Different from the codecs Dolby Surround ^® and Pro Logic ^® who do not work with channel separation to encode the surround sound in a stereo recording, Dolby Digital ^® is a discrete system where the different audio channels keep completely separated during encoding and decoding. Dolby Digital 5.1 is industry standard for coding of DVD movies with surround sound.

DSP

Digital Signal Processor. Microprocessor for digital processing of signals. Virtual Surround for example is created with a DSP.

GUI

Graphic User Interface. See OSD.  

Glossary

Interlaced

The picture is created by writing two half pictures with a 1 line set-off on the screen. This is standard on conventional 50 Hz TV sets.

MP3

MPEG 1 Layer 3 Codec, or short MP3, was developed in 1987 by Fraunhofer Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen and was a revolution in audio compression. In 1992 it became part of MPEG-1 video format. As MP3 offered high quality audio at incredible small file size, it became an won standard. With this codec one can compress audio files to about 1 MB / minute. English

MPEG-4

MPEG-4 is a standard used primarily to compress audio and video (AV) digital data. Introduced in late 1998, it is the designation for a group of audio and video coding standards and related technology agreed upon by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). The uses for the MPEG-4 standard are web (streaming media) and CD distribution, conversation (videophone), and broadcast television, all of which benefit from compressing the AV stream. MPEG-4 absorbs many of the features of MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 and other related standards. By MPEG-4 could be used a lot of different audio compression method. Most popular are MP3 and AC3.

NTSC

Widespread TV standard, especially in US and Asia. 525 (480 viewable) Lines and 60 Hz refresh rate. Describes the way the video information (brightness, colour, refresh rate etc.) is transmitted. Within Europe, this video standard only appears on imported media (like US DVDs).

OSD

The OSD (On Screen Display) is all the menus and options shown on the screen.

PAL

European TV standard. PAL stands for Phase Alternation Line; refresh rate: 50 Hz, Resolution: 625 Lines, 576 visible lines. Describes the way the video information (brightness, colour, refresh rate etc.) is transmitted.

Progressive Scan

Progressive Scan writes a whole picture in one step, while the normal interlaced TV-picture is composed of two half pictures. It delivers a significantly enhanced picture, especially when used on vide beamers, PC monitors or LCD TV. 

Glossary

YPbPr / YUV

Video signal with separated transmission of colour and brightness information. Similar to RGB, the signal is transmitted via tree separate RCA cables. Also called Component Signal. YUV delivers best signal quality available with analogue signal transmission. English      FREE TO CHOOSE INNOVATIONS
