13.0 Frequently Asked Questions Continued Q: I can not get an image out of my Satellite receiver. A: Some receivers output 1080i and 720p as RGBHV. The current version of TVP-1000 firmware only supports video resolution on the YPbPr. Q: Is there an easy way to do translucent PiP. A: With single PiP selected use the up and down arrows on the remote to control how much the image is blended. Q: PiP on/off button on the remote does not work properly.
14.0 Upgrading Firmware 1) Download latest copy of Flash123 from www.auroramultimedia.com under the TVP-1000 product section. 2) Download the latest version of firmware. 3) Install Flash123 on a Windows 2000 or better machine. 4) With the Plasma off connect the 6 pin Mini Din to 9 pin RS232 cable between the Control port of the TVP-1000 and the Com port of the PC. Do not try to upgrade firmware going through the Plasma RS-232. If you do not have a cable the help menu of Flash123 has the pin out.
