365-095-16097-x.1 This document is uncontrolled pending incorporation in a Motorola CMS

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 set-

top 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.

HDMI or IEEE-1394 — HDTV and SDTV

• HDMI and IEEE-1394 offer higher quality HD video than component video.

• If your TV has an HDMI input, this is for both audio and video. Connect a Standard

HDMI cable to the TV and to the HDMI connector on your RNG set-top.

• HDMI and IEEE-1394 outputs provide video and audio, so no separate audio

connections are required if you plan to use your TV’s speakers as the primary audio

source.

• On screen graphics will not be displayed when you are using the IEEE-1394

connection on the rear panel of the RNG set-top. Refer to Section 6 for more

information.

• If your TV has a DVI input, connect a HDMI-to-DVI adapter or cable to the HDMI out

connector on the RNG set-top and the DVI HDTV connector on your TV.

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

Description

Color Space

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

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.

Possible Solution

There are black bars

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).
