Before attempting to use this unit, please check the packaging and make certain the
following items are contained in the shipping carton:
1x 1T-VS-558 Scaler
1x Power Supply
1x IR Remote Control
1x Operations Manual
Note: Please retain the original packing material should the need ever arise to return the unit. If you find any items are
missing, contact your reseller or tvONE immediately. Have the Model Number, Serial Number and Invoice available for
reference when you call.
4.0 CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
Referring to the drawing below, connect the proper cable (3x RCA to 3x RCA for YPbPr
component input, HD-15 to HD-15 for PC input or DVI to DVI for DVI input) and then
connect the AC power adaptor.
Next, study the panel drawings and connector/control descriptions below and become
familiar with the control actions, connector functions and power requirements.
Above the word “MENU” you’ll find a joystick/switch control that allows access to and
adjustment of various operational items. Pressing the top of the joystick will bring up the
menu On Screen Display (OSD) and moving the joystick will allow you to move to, select
and then adjust the various functions.
The three buttons in the middle, YPbPr, RGB and DVI allow you to select the type of input
you desire and the Auto Adjust button causes the scaler to position and size the image
automatically. The Standby/On button is the power switch and above it is the IR sensor
used with the included remote control.

6 Component Video Inputs (3x RCA Connectors)
7 RS-232 Remote Control Connector
Connect the appropriate cables to the desired connector. Use only the highest quality
cables for the input and output connections.
The 1T-VS-558 is very capable and will automatically identify, accept and scale a host of
input types and resolutions (including analog and PC type signals). The output however
will be either DVI with a resolution of 480p to 1080p or RGB with resolutions from VGA to
WUXGA. You must use a display or other destination device that is either DVI or RGB
capable in order to use the output from this product. 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-VS-558’s output resolution accordingly.
Note 1: tvONE 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.
Note 2: To realize maximum quality and performance, use only the highest quality cables with the 1T-VS-558. Low
quality cables will cause degradation of the signal quality and limit the distance between both the source and destination
devices and the 1T-VS-558.

5.0 OPERATING THE UNIT
The 1T-VS-558 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.
* For resolutions not accessible from the Remote, Use the OSD capability.
5.1 Using the On Screen Display Menus
Regardless of whether you operate the 1T-VS-558 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 Using the On Screen Display Menus
If you are using the front panel control method, you can select the desired function by
pressing the top of the Joystick immediately above the MENU legend to bring up the On
Screen Display and then move the Joystick to navigate to the desired function. Once at
the desired function, press the top of the Joystick to make the selection and then move

the Joystick (left or right) to make the actual adjustment. Once you’ve made the
adjustment, press the top of the Joystick a last time to save your adjustment. Escape from
the OSD menu modes is accomplished by positioning the cursor over the word “Exit” in
any menu and then pressing the top of the Joystick.
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 main structure is as follows. The 1T-VS-558 OSD (On Screen Display) Menu structure
is a two tier display. You first select the high level portion of the menu (Video, Color,
Output, OSD Characteristics, Audio, Information or Exit) and then, with the exception of the
Exit function; a secondary menu will appear where specific adjustments or operational
selections can be made.

OSD Menu Notes:
Note 1: The PC sub-menu controls are only visible when you have selected a PC source.
Note 2: The Output sub-menu allows you to specify the resolution you want the 1T-VS-558 to produce. 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.
Note 3: 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.
Note 4: The Info sub-menu contains technical information. If you have problems with the 1T-VS-558 and require
assistance, the technician may ask you to read information from this menu to him as part of the troubleshooting process.
