Operation

Front Panel Format Button
The Format button located on the front panel of the RNG200N set-top allows you to
quickly change the video output format used by the Component Video (YPbPr) and HDMI
outputs. The RNG200N set-top is capable of providing the following video formats on the
YPbPr and HDMI video outputs:

•
•
•
•

High Definition 1080i (1920 x 1080 pixels)
High Definition 720p (1280 x 720 pixels)
Enhanced Definition 480p (720 x 480 pixels)
Standard Definition 480i (720 x 480 pixels)

The RNG200N set-top is also capable of passing through High-Definition 1080p 24/30/60
(1920 x 1080 pixels) source content over the HDMI video output.
The Format button is intended to allow you to select a video output format that is
compatible with a connected display device. Some televisions may not support all four
video formats listed above. The Format button provides an easy method for selecting an
output format that is compatible with your television.

Operation
The Format button is intended to complement the User Settings Menu (see Configuring
the Audio, Video, and Closed Caption Settings). It is not intended to replace the User
Settings Menu. The User Settings Menu is the preferred method of optimizing the RNG
set-top to operate with your specific television.
If you cannot get a video display when the RNG set-top is connected to your television
via component video or standard HDMI cables, use the Format button to select a video
output format that results in a viewable picture on the display screen. Once a viewable
picture is available, use the User Settings Menu to optimize the RNG200N set-top
display settings for your specific television.

Video Format Indicators (Front Panel Display)
The front panel display of the RNG200N set-top is equipped with indicators to the right
hand side of the display that are used to indicate the currently-selected video output
format on the component video (YPbPr) and HDMI outputs. As the Format button is
depressed, the front panel format indicators will change to illuminate the currently
selected video output format in use by the RNG set-top.
Note: There are some scenarios where the RNG set-top does not change the video
output format if the Format button is depressed. In these scenarios, the RNG200N settop will flash the currently illuminated video format indicator on the front panel display. If
this should occur, please use the User Settings Menu to make further changes to the
video output settings of the RNG200N set-top.
Note: Availability of certain features is dependent upon application support.

Digital Video Recorder (DVR)

The RNG200N set-top is equipped with an internal hard drive for DVR (Digital Video
Recorder) functionality, which provides the ability to record both Standard Definition TV
(SDTV) and High Definition TV (HDTV) programs. Storage time varies based on the video
format and specific channel.
The RNG200N set-top is also equipped with an eSATA interface on the rear panel. This
interface allows the connection of an external hard disk drive to increase the DVR
storage capacity of the RNG200N. Note: your service provider must authorize your
RNG200N for external DVR functionality.
DVR offers the ability to control your viewing experience by pausing (time shifting) live
TV and providing trick playback modes (pause, fast forward, slow forward, fast rewind,
slow rewind). You may experience a slight delay when switching between time-shifted
and live TV.
The RNG200N model also includes integrated MoCA™ networking which supports
whole-home DVR capabilities. This feature extends the DVR experience to RNG150N or
other compatible non-DVR set-tops with integrated MoCA, when enabled by application
software. On your non-DVR set-top you can now view your DVR recordings, playback
content, and set future recordings all from another room in your home.
With the RNG200N set-top, you can:
Record Programming. The total hours of recorded content will vary based on the
storage capacity of your DVR, the storage capacity of your specific external drive (if
authorized), and type of content (digital SD or HD and encoding method, MPEG-2 or
MPEG-4) being recorded.

Native Mode Settings Screen
The Native Mode Settings menu is used to configure the operation of the native mode
feature on the RNG200N. The RNG200N is capable of receiving and decoding a number
of different digital video formats. When operating in native mode, the RNG200N will
generate a video output format that most closely matches the broadcast video format .
For example, if the RNG200N is configured to operate in native mode, a channel
broadcast in the 720p format will be output to the television in the 720p format, while a
channel broadcast in the 1080i format will be output to the television in the 1080i format.
When using the native mode feature of the RNG200N, please exercise caution when
selecting the formats from the checklist. If a format is selected that is not compatible
with the television, there may be a loss of video whenever the RNG200N is tuned to a
channel which is broadcast in that format.
If the television is connected to the RNG200N using an HDMI cable, the RNG200N will
automatically customize the checklist of supported formats as reported to it by the
television. If the television is connected to the RNG200N using Component Video
(YPbPr) cables, the checklist will need to be customized manually. Note that at least one
of the [1080p - 1080i – 720p – 480p – 480i] formats must be selected from the checklist
for the RNG200N to operate properly in native mode.

Setting
Color Space

Description
The Color Space setting allows you to adjust the color space used by the RNG200N to
generate the video signals on the HDMI output. By default, this option is set to YCC 4:4:4.
The options are used as follows:
• YCC 4:4:4—The RNG200N will generate video signals within the YCC color space.
• RGB—The RNG200N will generate video signals within the RGB color space.
Note: Adjusting these settings could result in a loss of video. Only a professional installer
or someone with a good working knowledge of the color spaces supported by the TV should
change this setting.

Audio Output

The Audio Output setting allows you to specify the digital audio format delivered over the
HDMI output by the RNG200N. Options include Auto, L-PCM, and Pass Through. By
default, the Auto option is selected. The options are used as follows:
• Auto—The RNG200N will provide the digital audio format specified by the connected
device (TV or home theater receiver) when that device was first connected to the
RNG200N.
• L-PCM—The RNG200N will provide all audio in the Linear Pulse Code Modulation
digital audio format. The L-PCM format is widely supported by most HDMI televisions
and home theater receivers.
• Pass Through—The RNG200N will provide the same digital audio format on the
HDMI output as is provided with the program being viewed at that time. For example, if
the program has a Dolby Digital soundtrack, the RNG200N will pass the Dolby Digital
audio to the HDMI output. This option is most useful when connecting the RNG200N to
a home theater receiver that has HDMI switching capability.
Note: Adjusting these settings could result in a loss of audio. Only a professional installer
or someone with a good working knowledge of the digital audio formats supported by the
TV and/or home theater receiver should change this setting

Lip Sync

The Lip Sync setting allows you to adjust the amount of time the audio signal is delayed
with respect to the video signal on the HDMI output. Some HDMI televisions and home
theater receivers add an extra delay to the video signal during processing which can
produce an effect where the audio noticeably “leads” the video.
By default, this option is set to Auto. The options are used as follows:
• Auto—The RNG200N will automatically delay the audio signal on the HDMI output by
the amount of time requested by the connected HDMI device.
• Manual—The RNG200N will delay the audio signal on the HDMI output by the
amount of time selected for the Lip Sync Delay setting.
• Off—The RNG200N will not delay the audio signal on the HDMI output.

Lip Sync Delay

The Lip Sync Delay setting is only available when the Lip Sync option has been set to
Manual. The Lip Sync Delay setting can be adjust between 0 milliseconds (msec) and 500
milliseconds in 50 millisecond increments. If the Lip Sync option has been set to either
Auto or Off, this option is disabled and no longer selectable in the menu.
Use this option to adjust the HDMI audio delay if you notice that the video image routinely
seems to be “behind” the audio soundtrack when using your HDMI device.

Advanced Audio/Video Settings Screen
The Advanced Audio/Video Settings menu is used to customize several advanced audio
and video features of the RNG200N, most notably the Dolby Volume feature and the
Video Sharpness feature.
The Dolby Volume feature provides volume normalization across channels, programs,
and commercials. Normalization is a process where the different volume levels across
channels, programs, and commercials are adjusted to the same approximate output
volume. As a result, sudden volume changes are reduced and the overall volume output
of the RNG200N is more consistent.
The Video Sharpness feature is used to soften or sharpen Standard Definition (SD)
programs when viewed on either the HDMI or Component Video (YPbPr) outputs. When
SD programs are viewed on a large screen television, picture quality can suffer because
noise and other imperfections in the picture can be magnified on the large display. The
Video Sharpness feature can be used to soften the picture and reduce the appearance of
these imperfections.
The Advanced Audio/Video Settings menu screen is illustrated and defined below.

Dolby Volume

Description
The Dolby Volume default setting is Off. The options are used as follows:
• Off—The Dolby Volume feature is turned off and the output volume may fluctuate
during commercials or when changing channels.
• On—The Dolby Volume feature is turned on and the RNG200N will maintain a
more consistent output volume regardless of the channel or program being viewed.

Video Sharpness

The Video Sharpness setting allows you to adjust the picture sharpness when viewing a
standard definition (SD) program on the RNG200N. The Video Sharpness setting
affects the HDMI and Component Video (YPbPr) outputs. By default, the sharpness
level of 3 is selected.
The RNG200N supports five distinct levels of analog video picture sharpness. A value
of 1 corresponds to a “softer” picture while a value of 5 corresponds to a “sharper”
picture.
The best sharpness setting depends upon the video connection being used, the display
quality of the TV, and your own personal preference.

Troubleshooting

Before calling your service provider, review this troubleshooting guide. This information
is to help you quickly solve a problem. If your problem still exists, contact your service
provider.
Problem
The RNG set-top will
not power on

Possible Solution
The RNG set-top may have received a software update and may not power on
while the new software is being installed. Try again in a few minutes.
Verify that the AC power cord of the external power supply is connected to the
RNG set-top and an AC outlet. Unplug the RNG set-top from the AC outlet, plug
it back in, and then press the POWER button.
If the RNG set-top is connected to a switched outlet on another unit, verify that

Troubleshooting

Problem
There are black bars
to the right and left
of the picture

Possible Solution
Wide screen TVs display 4:3 programs in this format unless set to Stretch. Turn
on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This enables most
wide screen TVs to stretch the video to fill the screen (see your TV manual for
information about stretching 4:3 video).
If the RNG set-top is connected to a wide screen TV, verify that the TV TYPE is
set to 16:9 in the User Settings menu.
Many HD programs are broadcast in pillar-box format with black bars to the left
and right of the picture. These programs are broadcast in 16:9 HD formats even
though the video is not 16:9.

There are black bars
above and below the
picture

All 4:3 HDTVs display HD programs in letterbox format (black bars above and
below the picture) because of the shape of the display screen.
Turn on the 4:3 OVERRIDE feature in the User Settings menu. This enables
most standard screen TVs to display a full screen picture when the RNG set-top
is tuned to a 4:3 program.
Set the TV TYPE to 4:3 Pan-Scan. This enables the RNG set-top to remove the
black bars above and below the picture when possible.
Some SD programs are broadcast in the letterbox format with black bars above
and below the picture. Some widescreen TVs offer a zoom feature that may be
able to remove the black bars (see your TV manual for information about
zooming 4:3 video).

There are black bars
on all four sides of
the picture

This may occur on a 4:3 TV if the 4:3 OVERRIDE setting is OFF. To set 4:3 SD
programming to fill the screen, depending on the capabilities of the TV, set
4:3 OVERRIDE to 480i or 480p.
This may occur on a 16:9 TV if the active video for an SD broadcast is in
letterbox format. To confirm, wait for a commercial or look for a graphic, such as
a network logo. If the commercial fills the screen from top to bottom, or the
graphic appears below the active video, the program is being letterboxed by the
broadcaster. You can minimize this by activating the zoom feature on the TV.
A broadcaster may include black bars on either side of a wide screen broadcast.
This is called a “hybrid” aspect ratio and results in a black border surrounding the
video on a 4:3 TV. Because this is part of the broadcast, the RNG set-top cannot
correct the video. You may be able to minimize the border using the zoom
feature on the TV.

Colors do not appear
correctly

Be sure to match up each signal to the same YPbPr connection on the TV,
otherwise the colors will not appear correctly on your TV.

The RNG set-top is
making a humming
noise.

The RNG set-top includes an integrated hard drive and a fan for cooling. During
normal operation, the RNG set-top emits a low humming noise, similar to a
personal computer. The noise varies in volume occasionally when the speed of
the internal fan adjusts to changes in the temperature around the RNG set-top.
Please note the hard drive will stay on even when the RNG set-top is turned off
(standby).
