5Menu/Enter – Brings up OSD menu and acts as Enter Key for selections.
6See Note Below.
7Power On/Off.
NOTE: Item 6 is multipurpose: Pressing the “+” key (without first pressing the Menu/Enter key)
will step the 1T-AVPC-HDMI through the various possible input sources (YPbPr, PC or HDMI) in
a sequential manner. Next, pressing the “-“ key (without first pressing the Menu/Enter key)
causes the 1T-AVPC-HDMI to execute an automatic alignment of the analog (Component or PC)
signal components such as picture centering, color, etc. Lastly, if you press the Menu/Enter key
(which causes selection of the OSD or “On Screen Display” menu mode), the “+” and “-“ keys can
be used to navigate up and down through the various menu parameters. Once the desired
parameter is highlighted, the Menu/Enter key is pressed to select the highlighted item. The “+”
and/or “-“ keys are then used to effect the actual change or selection.

appropriate adapter and cable).2
3Aux Audio In – Used as audio input associated with DVI input.
4HDMI In – Input from HDMI capable source (or DVI device with
appropriate adapter and cable).3
5PC Audio in – audio from a PC’s audio card’s output.
6PC Video in – From PC VGA output via HD-15 to HD-15 Cable.
Connect the appropriate cables to the desired connector. Use only the highest quality cables
such as TV One’s Z-Plus products or equivalent.
The 1T-AVPC-HDMI is very capable and will automatically identify, accept and scale when
required, a host of input types and resolutions (including analog and PC type signals). The output
however will always be either HDMI or DVI. You must use a display or other destination device
that is HDMI or DVI capable in order to use the output from this product.
You can either connect a HDMI cable directly to an HDMI capable destination device or you can
utilize an HDMI to DVI adapter cable if you wish to feed the 1T-AVPC-HDMI’s output to a DVI
capable device. Since you can specify the output resolution, you’ll need to know the highest
resolution your destination device is capable of handling and set the 1T-AVPC-HDMI’s output
resolution accordingly.
Note 1: TV One utilizes a special “Twist-to-lock” connector to prevent the power cable coming
loose. Insert the connector into the socket just as you would with other manufacturer’s power
adaptors but once securely inserted, gently twist the connector 90 degrees to the right or left
which will lock it in place.
Notes 2&3: To realize maximum quality and performance, use only the highest quality cables
such as TV One’s Z-Plus cables or equivalent with the 1T-AVPC-HDMI. Low quality cables will
cause degradation of the signal quality and limit the distance between both the source and
destination devices and the 1T-AVPC-HDMI.

5.0 OPERATING THE UNIT
The 1T-AVPC-HDMI can be operated from either the front panel controls or via the included
Infrared Remote Control.
Since Infrared is the control method used most often by the majority of users, please take the
time to familiarize yourself with the location and function of the various control buttons on the
Controller.

5.1 Using the On Screen Display Menus
Regardless of whether you operate the 1T-AVPC-HDMI from the front panel or using the Remote
Controller, you will need to become familiar with the OSD (On Screen Display) menu structure if
you wish to take full advantage of the capability of the product.
5.1.1 Menu Navigation:
Pressing the “Menu” button will display the OSD menu. If you are using the front panel control
method, you select the desired function by using the “+” and “-“ keys to navigate to the desired
function and then press the Menu/Enter button again to make the selection. Next, use the “+” and
“-“ buttons to make the actual adjustment and press the Menu/Enter button yet again to save your
selection. Escape from the OSD menu mode by repeatedly pressing the menu button.
From the IR remote controller, press the menu key to activate the OSD, use the arrow buttons to
navigate to the selection you want and then use the arrow buttons and the “OK” button to make
your adjustment or selection. Press the “Exit” button to escape from the OSD mode.
5.1.2 Menu Structure
The structure is as follows:

Note1: H-Position and V-Position are only available when Component or PC modes are selected.
Note 2: The PC menu is only active when you have selected PC as your source.

The Video and PC sub-menus appear when either of these two modes are selected as inputs.
Please read the two notes above to discover how the menus differ.
The Color sub-menu calls up four presets that cause the picture to take on a specific
characteristic. Some people prefer the picture to have a slightly reddish (“Warm”) appearance.
This looks more lifelike to them. Others want a bluish (“Cool”) hue and still others want to adjust
the picture and save it as a “User” appearance. Finally, there is “Normal” which is an appearance
that was created using special image analysis equipment and is therefore considered a standard
appearance.
The Output sub-menu allows you to specify the resolution you want the 1T-AVPC-HDMI to
produce. As an example, if you are using an HDMI display device that can only accept an 1080i
HDTV input signal, you would want to set the output resolution to 1080i. Keep in mind that
setting the resolution can cause an apparent malfunction if you select a resolution that your
display device cannot reproduce. Make certain your display device can reproduce the resolution
you select BEFORE you select it.
The OSD sub-menu allows you to customize the way the On Screen Display appears when it has
been accessed. This is a personal preference matter. You can change the default if you wish or
simply leave it at the factory setting.
Lastly, the Info sub-menu contains technical information. If you have problems with the 1T-AVPC-
HDMI and require assistance, the technician may ask you to read information from this menu to
him as part of the troubleshooting process.
6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
If the 1T-AVPC-HDMI Format Converter does not appear to be functioning, make certain that the
source and all other devices connected to the unit are functioning correctly by connecting each
device currently connected to the 1T-AVPC-HDMI’s outputs directly to the source using a short
length of cable. (In other words, bypass the 1T-AVPC-HDMI to make certain that the problem is
not with the source or destination devices.) If the signal is present under those conditions, make
certain that the power is present to the 1T-AVPC-HDMI. If it is, check all cables for damage.
Cables should be undamaged, as short as possible and should be premium quality.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use premium cables such as TV One’s Z-Plus brand or
equivalent in order to achieve maximum distance cable runs and the best performance possible.
Use of low quality cables will seriously degrade the performance of the 1T-AVPC-HDMI Format
Converter.
As a final step before contacting technical support, use the IR remote and press the RESET
button which will return the unit to the default settings.
After trying the above suggestions should the problem still persist, contact your dealer for
additional suggestions before contacting TV One. Should the dealer’s technical personnel be
unable to assist you, contact TV One via our support website: http://tvone.crmdesk.com.
Create a technical support request on the site and our support team will respond within a short
period of time.
