Aurora Design SCRF Quick Start Guide

This Quick Start guide is designed to help you get the converter

connected and operating in a minimum of time. Please follow the step-by-

step procedure outlined below:

1)!An AC mains power adapter must be provided separately. It should be

capable of supplying 9VDC at 250ma and have a standard 2.1mm X

5.5mm, center positive jack.

2)!The RF connector used on the converter is the “F” type as used on

most consumer video equipment. A 75 ohm coaxial cable must be

supplied to connect the converter to the television set’s antenna

connector. The antenna connector on the television may be of various

types, both coaxial or twin line. If it is of the twin line type, a matching

transformer, or balun, will be required to connect the converter to the

television. NOTE - If the television is of the “hot chassis” type where

it is connected to once side of the AC mains, than an isolation

transformer should be used between the converter and television.

3)!The appropriate RF channel should be selected on the switch on the

rear panel of the converter to match the television. This switch was set

to an appropriate channel for the converter, but may need to be

changed for your requirements.

4)!With the converter connected to the television, apply power to the

converter. The Status LED on the front panel should be Red, and a test

pattern and tone should be seen and heard on the television. If not,

recheck the cables and RF channel selection on both the converter and

television.

5)!You may now connect an appropriate video/audio source to the

converter. This can be a DVD, VCR, tuner, satellite receiver, etc. If

your source only has a mono audio output, you can connect it to either

of the audio input jacks and leave the other one empty. The Status LED

should now be Green, and the video and audio should be seen and

heard on the television. You may need to adjust the audio gain control

on the front panel of the converter if the audio is low or distorted.

6)!If you wish to replace the default image in the converter, connect a

stable, stationary video source to the converter, then press and hold the

Aux Button on the back panel for 4 seconds. The Status LED will start

blinking rapidly. This will take approximately 15 seconds and the unit

will return to normal. Note - The video must remain stable and

stationary during the ﬂash process. A DVD on pause is a good source

for this.
