Paradigm multimedia Ht22 Manual

If you are not familiar with the basics of this

HT22 Tuner please read the ‘Detailed Setup

Instructions’ first, then use the following step-

by-step procedure to install a new HT22

Tuner:

Step A) Connect the cables to the HT22 Tuner

as shown in the cabling diagram (See Diagram

page 4)and described below:

1) Attach the TV Antenna Coax (75

ohm) or the Cable Coax (75 ohm) to the F

type connector that is nearest to the edge of

the Tuner Box.

2) If the FM Tuner will be used, attach

the FM Antenna cable (75 ohm) to the F

type connector that is near to the center of

the Tuner Box.

3) Attach the Pillow Speaker to the ¼

inch connector.

4) Attach the video cable from the

Display to the yellow Composite video

input.

5) Attach the Infra-Red Receiver unit

to the Tuner IR Port. This is only needed

during configuration and channel Auto-

Scanning. It should be removed after

configuration has been completed.

(Remember to unplug the Wall Mount

Power Supply before disconnecting the IR

Receiver.)

6) Make sure that the Wall-Mount

Tuner Power Supply is unplugged from the

wall socket, now attach the cable from it to

the 12VDC Input Power socket on the HT22

Tuner box.

7) Configure the IR remote for the HT22

Tuner using the instructions given on Page 6

“Basic Operations IR Remote Control”

Step B) Plug the Wall-Mount Tuner Power

Supply into a wall socket. About a half a second

later, the Pillow Speaker will almost

immediately emit a soft click, indicating that the

Tuner has completed its internal power-up

sequence.

Step C) *Turn ON power to the Display

manually, by using the Power On/Off button on

the Display.

Step D) *Use the SOURCE button on the

Display to select COMPOSITE1 or AV1 as the

input source for it.

*See LCD operation manual

Step E) Press the [On/Off] button on the Pillow

speaker. This activates the HT22 Tuner (the

factory default settings are shown on page 15).

The factory default is set at channel 2. There

should be a clear picture. If not, you can use the

Channel Up button on the pillow speaker to find

the first channel with a good signal.

Note: When using the HT22 Tuner with cable

TV… if a channel is found to have a picture but

no sound, or the picture has washed-out colors,

or a herring-bone shaped noise pattern, it

indicates that the Cable Mode may need to be

changed from IRC to HRC or vice versa. You

can make this change later in Step G.

Step F) Once a good picture is found, you can

view the Tuner Command Menu, via the On

Screen Display (OSD), by entering the two-

button command sequence <TV/VCR> +

<TV/VCR> on the IR Remote Control.(See

HT22 Tuner Command Menu page 12)

Quick Set-up Instructions for

Enhanced HT22 Tuner

This OSD screen shows all the available two-

button command sequences. This screen will

automatically turn off after 10 seconds. To bring

it back, simply enter the two-button command

again.

You can view the OSD factory default

configuration by entering the two-button

command sequence <TV/VCR> + <5> from the

IR Remote Control.

*See HT22 Tuner Command Menu Page 12.

Note: The choices on this menu can either be

accessed directly by commands: <TV/VCR> +

<Number)

<TV/VCR> +<TV/VCR> (select numbers 0-9)

Step G) If you need to change Tuner Settings,

enter the two-button command sequence

*<TV/VCR> + <4> from the IR Remote Control

to view the OSD Settings Menu.

The instructions to change settings are on the

screen. Change the item by entering the number

of the item to be changed, using the numeric

keys (<0> to <9>) on the IR Remote Control.

The changed item will start to blink.

Note: See Details and explanations for HT22

Tuner Settings on pages 16 – 19.

Make all changes, as necessary, then save them

by pressing <1> to select 'Exit: after saving', you

will see “after saving” start blinking, then select

<9> to exit.

On the bottom of screen, the word “saving...”

will appear for approximately 1 second to

confirm selection(s)

If you do not want to save the changes, simply

enter <9> to exit without changing item 1.

NOTE: If this Tuner is going to be used as the

Master Tuner to clone other HT22 Tuners with

the same configuration and Favorite Channel

List as this unit, leave the item ‘5 Ctrl Display’

set to ‘NONE’ for now.

(See Cloning instructions)

Note: If this setting needs to be changed, change

it after cloning has been done. You will not be

able to do cloning from this unit, if this setting is

anything other than ‘NONE’.

Step H) Once you have changed and saved the

settings to match your installation, you can

Auto-scan all the channels by entering the two-

button command sequence *<TV/VCR> + <6>

from the IR Remote Control. Auto-Scanning

takes several minutes. Do not interrupt the

process. After Auto-Scanning is done the HT22

Tuner will tune to the first scanned channel.

Step through and review the auto-scanned

channels by either using pillow speaker channel

up/down or using the IR channel selection(see

page 7, “IR Remote Functions”); if you are

using the HT22 Tuner with cable TV and find

that channels 5 or 6 are missing (when they

should not be), it indicates that the Ch 5/6 Mode

should be changed from OLD5 to NEW5 or vice

versa. Follow the process in Step G to make this

change.

You can then either do a new Auto-scan or add

the channels manually as described in Step J.

Doing a new Auto-Scan will add any new

channels found to the existing list

Step I) When reviewing the scanned channels, if

you need to delete the currently displayed

channel, enter the two-button command

*<TV/VCR> + <3> to delete it. The channel

will be deleted and the HT22 Tuner will go to

the next one in the list.

Step J) If you need to add a channel that was not

included in the Auto-Scan, you should first tune

to it directly by entering its channel number

(enter two digits for Broadcast TV Channels and

three digits for Cable TV, prefixing them with

zeroes, as needed), using the IR Remote Control.

Once the channel is tuned, enter the two-button

command *<TV/VCR> + <2> to manually add

it to the Favorite Channel List.

*Note: See “Details of Two-Button Command

Sequences on page 13-14.

Step K) Test out all the functions using the IR

Remote Control. Once you are satisfied that the

unit is working as it should be, turn off the main

power to both the HT22 Tuner and the Display

and remove the IR Receiver from the HT22

Tuner.

Step L) Turn on the main power on both the

Display and HT22 Tuner and make sure that all

the functions work from the Pillow Speaker.

If the HT22 Tuner is set up to do Display

Control, turning the power on from the pillow

speaker will turn the Display on and turning the

power off from the pillow speaker will put the

Display in standby mode.

The Display will also go into standby mode

when the HT22 Tuner is set for listening to the

FM stations.

NOTE:

If you need to delete the Favorite Channel List and

return the HT22 Tuner to its factory default

configuration, you can do that by entering the two-

button command sequence <TV/VCR> + <7> from

the IR Remote Control.

NOTE:

Be sure that the Wall Mount Power Supply to the HT22 Tuner is

unplugged before connecting or disconnecting any cables to the

HT22 Tuner.
