II.2 Antenna Connection
In-car digital TV reception situation will vary from vehicle to vehicle and the installer may need
to try anetnna mounting positions to determine the best position for most stable signal reception in
vehicles.
Important Notes on Antenna Installation:
For a better reception, please place the rod antenna horizontally, and keep the rod antenna away
from metals.
Antenna Position
To optimize the TV reception performance, we recommend that one antenna is mounted at the front
and one at the rear of the vehicle. Please refer to the diagram below for some recommended
locations.
(1) Behind the Front Bumper. Note: Please make sure the bumper is not made of metal
(2) Top of the Front Windscreen, but at least 5cm away from the metal body of the car
(3) Top of the Rear Windscreen, but at least 5cm away from the metal body of the car
(4) Bottom of the Rear Windscreen, at least 5cm away from the metal body of the car
(5) Behind the Rear Bumper (note: make sure rear bumper is not made of metal)
*Noted: For position (2) ~ (4), because the windshields of many cars are usually equipped with film coating
(that contains metal), the actual signal reception may be degraded, depending on the amount of the metal
embedded within the film.

II.3 Smart phone Connectivity
If you are like most people these days, you’ve made your smartphone the source for Youtube,
Google Map, and any other Internet information surfing.
To answer the increasing demand of Internet access within a car via smartphone, HR-630 provides
an efficient way to connect your smartphone to the head unit display on car monitor.
Connect your smart phone to the HDMI input port of HR-630. Different interconnection cable should
be used for iOS and Android devices, respectifully, as illustrated below:
iOS device : Lightning HDMI adaptor HDMI cable HDMI IN port of HR-630
device.
Android device: MHL cable HDMI IN port of HR-630 device.

II.4 Operating HR-630 from Steering Wheel Control (SWC)
Most car models provide easy and convenient operation
control of in-car entertainment devices (ex. AM/FM
radio and/or media player) through the use of Steering
Wheel Control (SWC) buttons. Typical SWC buttons
offered originally, if any, are such as CH+, CH-, VOL+,
VOL-. To provide users further enhanced convenience,
HR-630 has been designed to support steering wheel
control buttons to allow users change the TV to
adjacent channel or any desired TV channels promptly. Operation is Quick and No hassle!
Here is a brief summary how HR-630 works to achieve this operational convenience.
(1) 5 major TV function keys from steering wheel control are supported in HR-630. They are: TV
LIST , Channel up(CH+), Channel down (CH-), ENTER, and EXIT.
Tell HR-630 Which is Which: First, users shall go to SETTING mode as explained in the
following paragraph to “teach”HR-630 which button on your steering wheel would be
assigned to which function. Note that the correspondence could be arbitrary. However, to
avoid unexpected results, the following SWC buttons shall NOT be used for these function
assignments: VOL+, VOL-, MOD.
(2) Use CH+/CH- button to change to adjacent TV channel.
(3) One may first pop up the entire TV List by pressing TV LIST button and then navigate to other
desired channel by using CH+ or CH- button.

-Operation Overview
Note: The HR-630 can detect the SWC
output voltage level from 0.2V ~ 15V.

ASUKA HR-630 User Manual 17
The steering wheel control signals available from most car models are usually consisted of 2 or 3
wires. Generally speaking, when one press a particular SWC button, a specific voltage will be
presented at one and/or 2 wires to “inform ”the peripheral devices (ex. TV receiver) that a SWC
button has been asserted. The TV receiver can therefore interpret the voltage and perform the
corresponding action (CH+, CH-, ENTER, EXIT, TV LIST or nothing) in accordance with function
asserted.
The above-mentioned theories of operation are conceptually illustrated in the above wiring diagram.
1. The designated inputs of Power/IR port for SWC signals are Power GND (Black wire), Steering
In 1 (Blue wire), and Steering In 2 (Green wire).
2. Connection diagram is as follows:
SWC GND Power GND;
SWC output wire 1Steering In 1(Blue wire); and
SWC output wire 2 Steering in 2 (Green wire).

ASUKA HR-630 User Manual 18
Since a car will have its own unique output voltage for each SWC button, a learning procedures to
make HR-630 becomes familiar with the specific SWC signal becomes necessary. This following
pictures will describe the steps required to achieve the SWC learning for 5 major TV function keys.
1. Start Steering Wheel Control Learning:
1.1 Back to Main Menu
1.2 Enter Setting Mode and select Steering Control
Learning
2. Learning Channel up (CH+) Key:
2.1 Select the “CH+ Key Learning”
2.2 Press the button of SWC designated for [CH+]
3. Learning Success
The “Success” message will pop up when HR-630
successfully gets the key of SWC.
4. Learning Channel Down (CH-) Key:
4.1 Select the “CH- Key Learning”
4.2 Press the button of SWC designated for [CH-]
5. Learning ENTER Key:
5.1 Select the “OK Key Lerning”
5.2 Press the button of SWC designated for [OK]
6. Learning EXIT Key:
