13.0 Frequently Asked Questions
It is generally a good idea to make certain the latest firmware from the Aurora site is loaded into the unit. To
find out what revision the TVP-1000 firmware is, go to miscellaneous, then system info under the TVP-1000
menu. Compare it with the web. Updating the latest rev will assure any past bugs are fixed or enhance features
are added.
Q: Why is the screen green?
A: Pioneer Integrator menu is not setup properly. Slot input under options of the Pioneer option menu must be
set to Component 1.
Q: The image changes back to Pillarbox whenever the source is changed or unit is turned off.
A: Input Setup in the TVP-1000 menu has a setting for Main Format. Default is Auto for the WSS detection.
Change this to anamorphic (16:9 Ratio) or Pillarbox (4:3 Ratio) and the unit will remember the last setting for
format.
Q: Side by Side does not work.
A: RGB must be on the Main side not the PiP when selecting this feature.
Q: My remote is intermittent.
A: Make certain it is aimed directly at the sensor and not too close to the unit.
Q: My remote does not work.
A: Try pressing TVP-1000 at the top of the remote to control the TVP-1000 and Plasma to control the Plasma.
If this does not work try replacing the batteries.
Q: The TVP-1000 will not work via RS232 through the plasma.
A: Make certain the supplied black 6 pin - 6 pin cable is connected from the TVP-1000 o the Combo out on the
Plasma. Check to see if the Baud Rate in the Pioneer integrator menu was changed to 9600 and that the unit
was given an ID number.
Q: None of the TV channels work or channel 5 and 6 only work.
A: Under TV Setup of the TVP-1000 menu try changing the Source to Cable, HRC, or IRC while on channel 5
or 6. When an image shows up that is the setting you want.
Q: How do I change formats?
A: The Format key on the remote will revolve through all the different formats.
Q: Can audio follow the PiP image?
A: Yes, by pressing the Audio key the audio will toggle between following the main or the PiP image. The
default is main upon power on.
Q: How do I get audio out of the plasma?
A: On the plasma there is a 1/8” TRS (mini-headphone connector) audio connector labeled output. This
connector is on the plasma not the TVP-1000. Adaptors can be bought to go from 1/8” TRS to dual female
RCA phono for easier connections. Radio Shack is a good source for this.
Q: How do I get YPbPr (Component Video) into the 15pin HD connector?
A: Buy a industry standard 15 pin HD male to 5 BNC cable. Also, buy 3 BNC to RCA adaptors to connect to
the red, green, and blue. The other 2 cables are not needed. This will save you a lot of money compared to
buying a special cable that goes directly to RCA.
