I. Unit Overview
ASUKA HR-660 is designed for users to access terrestrial DVB-T2 TV broadcasting services
recently emerging in many countries. With its state-of-the-art TV signal reception performance and
AV codec processing techniques, HR-660 promises to deliver users an easy access of local HD
DVB-T2 TV programs as well as enhanced HD media player functions over existing multimedia
features.
Besides, HR-660 provides unique features and capability to make it more fun and convenient for
in-car information &entertainment experience.They are:
1. Smart phone connectivity: It’s an easy & convenient to feed the smart phone contents into
the head-unit. Either iOS or Android mobile devices are supported.
2. Steering wheel control:For cars equipped with steering wheel control features, after a very
simple learning procedure, one can designate any 5 keys to perform the function of CH+, CH1,
ENTER, EXIT, and TV LIST respectfully. The use of steering wheel control keys for HR-660
operation control can significantly ease the operation complexity and make HR-660 extremely
suitable for in-car applications.
3. Providing both CVBS and RGB TV output: In addition to CVBS output, HR-660 also
provides optional RGB (progressive) TV output that is the expected video format by several
well-known head unit with the RGB TV output, HR-660 is capable of inter working with an even
wider range of head units in the market..

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 positionfor 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
frommetals.
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.4 Operating HR-660 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-660 has been designed to support steering wheel
control buttons to allow users change the TV to
adjacentchannel or any desired TV channels promptly.Operation is Quick and No hassle!
Here is a brief summary how HR-660 works to achieve this operational convenience.
(1) 5 major TV function keys from steering wheel control are supported in HR-660. They are: TV
LIST , Channel up(CH+), Channel down(CH-), ENTER, and EXIT.
Tell HR-660 Which is Which: First, users shall go to SETTING mode as explained in the
following paragraph to “teach”HR-660 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 adjacentTV 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.

(GND, output_1,
& output_2)
-Operation Overview
Note: The HR-660 can detect the SWC
output voltage level
from 0.2V ~ 15V.

ǦͲ ͳ
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 portfor SWC signals are Power GND (Black wire), Steering
In 1 (Blue wire), and Steering In 2 (Green wire).
2. Connection diagram is as follows:
<Case 1>If there are 2 SWC wires in your car:
<Case 2>If there is only 1 SWC wire in your car:
Note: The input range of HR-660 SWC is 0.2~15V.
Attention: Un-used SWC wires SHOULD be GROUNDED.
-System Configuration for SWC Control

ǦͲ ͳͺ
Since a car will have its own unique output voltage for each SWC button, a learning procedures to
make HR-660 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.

II.5 Touch control with Tier-1 Head Units
HR-660 provides advanced integration withtier-1 2-Din head units. This integration allow users to
operate HR-660 not only through remote controller but also through the touch screen and/or the
remote controller of the head unit. Below table is listed to summarize the head unit models that
HR-660 can support and the available methods to control TV functions after integration.
Supported Model
Available methods to control HR-660 after integration

To enablethe function of touch control operation, a specific installation way for different headunit is
required. For instance,the different interconnection cableis requested for each specific headunit to
connect with HR-660.The installation guide for each supported head units is summarized as below
for reference.
Configuration :
Video connection : Plug the SONY interconnection cable to the Monitor port on HR-660, and
insert the other side to Navigation port on SONY head unit.
