DVP1510 FAQs REV 10.04.04-a 2 X When SETUP: ACTIVE OUTPUT / ANALOG is selected, which OUTPUT FORMAT should I use? X How do I Store a Profile? X There is Dark Banding/Streaking throughout the video image; how do I fix this? X My picture is Magenta or Pink in color. X My picture is Green. Which Output Scan Rate should I Choose? The appropriate Output Scan Rate to select is typically determined by the actual native Pixel Density of a Digital Display Device, or, the physical CRT Size of an Analog Display Device (7, 8 or 9 CRT). Each display device will have individual video/computer input capabilities, so, there may be exceptions. All display devices will post their specific video/computer input capabilities within the Users Manual and are typically listed under Specifications, or, within a Table of Supported Resolutions. The following represents basic examples of possible Output Scan Rate selections: Display Type Plasma TV Digital Projector CRT Front Projection CRT Rear Screen Display Resolution 1366 x 768 1280 x 720 7 CRT 8 CRT 9 CRT 1080i DVP1510 Scan Rate 1366 x 768 1280 x 720 1920 x 540 or 1280 x 720 1280 x 720 or 1440 x 960 1440 x 960 or 1920 x 1080 1920 x 540 Notice: Occasionally a Digital Display Device may not accept its actual Native Pixel density, such as, some Digital Rear Screen TVs and some Entry-Level Plasma/LCD Displays. In this instance, a standard DTV signal should be chosen (1280x720 or 1920x540). There is no video from the analog BNC or MONITOR Outputs. The Default SETUP: ACTIVE OUTPUT setting is DIGITAL (DVI), not Analog (BNC or MONITOR). You can either choose DIGITAL or ANALOG out from the DVP1510; however, not both simultaneously. - Enter the SETUP MENU by selecting the [SETUP] button on the front panel of the DVP1510 - Press the [-–¼] button two times, or, until the LCD Display indicates SETUP: ACTIVE OUTPUT / DIGITAL - Press the [-—„] or [-–º] button to change SETUP: ACTIVE OUTPUT / DIGITAL to the ANALOG setting - Exit the SETUP MENU by selecting the [RETURN] button. Notice: When both an Analog (RGBh/v) and a Digital (DVI) cable are installed, selecting the [PAST/PASX] from Page 1 of the IR Remote LCD window button will output the Pass-Through signal, regardless of which Active Output has been selected within the Setup Menu. Select the corresponding input on the display device to view source. There is no video when selecting the PASS-THRU INPUT (15-pin VGA input). The 15-pin PASS-THRU INPUT connection will only route incoming RGBh/v or Component pass-through video to the Analog Outputs of the DVP1510 (Analog IN = Analog OUT). It is always recommended to install both an RGBh/v cable and a DVI cable to the display device for system expandability. These connections will also enable the ability to connect a computer source to the display device (if capable). To connect a Component (YPrPb) HDTV source, and your output cable run is either 5-wire (RGBh/v) or MONITOR OUT (VGA), select [PAST/PASTX] on the IR remote twice, or, select [PAST/PASTX], then [1] for direct PASSTHRU TRANSCODED access.

DVP1510 FAQs REV 10.04.04-a 3 If your display does not have an RGBh/v or D-15 (VGA) input connection, install a 3-wire Component analog cable to the display device. Do not select PASSTHRU TRANSCODED or your video will be Magenta. My connection from the DVP1510 to the display is Analog RGBh/v (or YPrPb); but, there is no video from the DVI INPUT when I select [PAST/PASTX] on the IR remote. The DVI INPUT connection will only route incoming DVI pass-through video to the DVI Digital Output of the DVP1510 (Digital IN = Digital OUT). It is always recommended to install both an RGBh/v cable and a DVI cable to the display device. This connection will also enable the ability to connect a computer source to the display device (if capable). If the DVI INPUT originates from an HDTV source, you can opt to Process the incoming signal by selecting [DVI/RGB], then [0]. The DVP1510 will then process the incoming video signal to the selected Output Scan Rate under SETUP: SCANRATE within the Setup Menu. The output will be either Digital (non-HDCP), or Analog, depending upon the selection under SETUP: ACTIVE OUTPUT. Where can I locate the RS-232c command protocols? Refer to your DVP1510 Installation and Operations Manual - The RS-232c command protocols can be found on Pages 9 through 13 of the DVP1510 Users Manual. This manual is also available for download via this website. How do I change the Default RS-232c Baud Rate? The DVP1510 additionally allows the ability to change the default baud rate of 19200 within the Setup Menu. - Enter the SETUP MENU by selecting the [SETUP] button on the front panel of the DVP1510 - Press the [-–²] button four times, or, until the LCD Display indicates SETUP: BAUD RATE / 19200 - Press either the [-—„] or [-–º] arrow button to toggle to the appropriate baud rate for your control system: o SETUP: BAUD RATE / 9600 o SETUP: BAUD RATE / 57600 o SETUP: BAUD RATE / 19200 - You are not required to press [ENTER] to engage the desired baud rate selection - Exit the SETUP MENU by selecting the [RETURN] button How do I enter the RS-232c command string? The DVP Header, followed by a comma (no space), is used to delimit the Header from the Command . The following is an example, using Windows HyperTerminal, for Power On using a standard Modem Cable: - dvp,on[-†µ Enter] ([-†µ Enter] denotes a carriage return, or rather, pressing [-†µ Enter] on the keyboard) You may also issue simultaneous commands by adding a comma to delimit each Function Command prior to issuing the Carriage Return Command. - dvp,on,x,a2,srn4[-†µ Enter] (Control Syntax = Header, Power ON, YCrCb (Component Input), Anamorphic, Scan Rate 1280x720[carriage return]) Personal Computer (PC Control) - Use the standard Windows HyperTerminal program to control the DVP1510. Select the options listed below and utilize a standard 9-pin Modem Cable (not a null-modem cable). Once connection has been established: TYPE dvp,help and then press [-†µ Enter]. The OPERATION COMMANDS available will then be echoed back to your personal computer.
