1.3.2 Programmable Buttons
The upper-left portion of the remote houses a set of programmable keys. The intent is to allow for common television functions to be programmed so the user only needs to use a single remote control device to manage their television experience when using the ZvSync receiver/decoder.
Keys P1 though P5 can be set to any function the user desires. The labeling is present only to provide visual cues the user may use to help remember which key has been programmed to which function.
The "SET" key has a fixed function that is not programmable. It initiates the programming process for setting the P1-P5 key functions.
1.3.2.1 Programming P1 - P5 Buttons
The ZvSync remote has been tested to be compatible with a large number of remotes. However, some manufacturers use infrared codes that are obscure and cannot be “copied” into the programmable keys of the ZvSync remote.
ZvSync Remote
To program a key the following sequence shall be executed:
- Step1: Press and hold the "SET" button for three seconds
The RED LED lights immediately when the button is pressed
➢ After 3 seconds the LED changes to a very bright state
- Step 2: Press the key you wish to program (P1-P5)
The RED LED changes to a slow flash (1/second)
- Step 3: Press the key on the remote that you are copying
The RED LED performs three quick flashes to acknowledge
▶ RED LED turns on solid again.
➢ Repeat steps 2 and 3, or simply wait for light to extinguish
- Step 4: Test Programmed key on television or device to be controlled
○ If command is not executing properly, repeat steps 1-3
2 Setup
This chapter describes how to connect your ZvSync Receiver to the television and receiving apparatus appropriately. The receiver has various options and interfaces for connectivity. Select the method appropriate to your application.
2.1 Connecting to an Aerial
Connect you antenna to the ZvSync receiver's 'ANT' jack for Over-the-Air reception as follows:
2.2 Connecting to a Cable Feed
To receive a cable television signal or a channel generated by ZeeVee's encoder/modulator products connect the cable feed to the 'ANT' jack on the rear face with a 75ohm F-Type cable.
2.3 Connecting to the Television
2.3.1 HDMI Cable
A connection to the HDMI input of a television, if so equipped, is the recommended method to get visual content on to the television display. Both visual content and audio content are carried over the single cable from the ZvSync to the television display.
The digital connection presents the highest resolution, sharpest picture possible from the ZvSync receiver.
2.3.2 RCA Cables
Certain televisions or applications do not have digital video inputs. The ZvSync will output standard definition representations of the programming over the CVBS port. Both the CVBS output and the HDTV digital output are active simultaneously.
All content will be scaled down to 480i resolution regardless of the incoming resolution prior to be sent out the CVBS port.
2.4 Infrared Remote Control Receiver
The ZvSync-NA receiver/decoder is supplied with an external IR receiver. This is in the form of a cable with an IR receiver at the end.
The pigtail MUST be installed for the ZvSync to receive commands from the remote control device and is required for proper operation.
By separating the Infrared receiver from the base unit, the main body of the ZvSync receiver/decoder can be installed in an unobtrusive location with only the IR sensor showing.
2.4.1 Connecting Infrared Receiver to ZySync
The 3.5mm plug on the Infrared pigtail must be plugged in to the front "IR" port on the ZvSync main unit for proper operation.
2.4.2 Infrared Receiver Usable Angles
The remote control must have a relatively unobstructed "line-of-sight" to the infrared sensor. The usable angles are quite flexible, yielding many possible mounting options. The included double-sided tape is commonly used to mount the IR sensor to bottom or side bezel of the attached television.
At the user's discretion the main body of the ZvSync-NA receiver/decoder may be placed out of sight, providing the proper ventilation considerations are observed.
2.5 Connecting to Power Supply
The wall-mount power supply (included) shall provide the power for the ZvSync receiver. Other methods of powering the ZvSync may void the warranty.
The DC input is rated at 5VDC at a maximum peak consumption of 10W, nominal consumption of 6W during operation, and a standby power draw of 0.8W.
3 Installation Wizard
If you are using the receiver for the first time, or have restored it to factory defaults, the Installation Guide Menu will appear on your screen.
Select the desired language for the On Screen Display interface
If the ZvSync Receiver/Decoder is being used for CABLE reception (or channels being generated by ZeeVee encoder/modulator products), navigate to the "Channel Search" option and press "OK".
- The ZvSync unit will then begin searching for channels. Allow it to run to completion.
Once the scan is complete, the ZvSync is ready for normal operation.
If the ZvSync-NA Receiver/Decoder is being used for Over-theAir (antenna) reception, Press the "Exit" button on the remote control.
If Over-the-Air (antenna) reception is desired, and the previous "Installation Guide" page was exited, you will be presented with the following screen:
