Otherwise, for RGB sources, the DHD Controller uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV and EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used.
Operation • CUE (Chroma Upsampling Error) Correction: Some DVD players use MPEG decoders that do not correctly “upsample” the 4:2:0 format chroma information on the DVD to the 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 format required by the video encoder of the display device. This so-called “chroma bug” sometimes causes streaky or spiky horizontal lines running through the chroma channel. It is most noticeable in static, interlaced scenes and on diagonal edges (especially red ones). Set CUE to On to correct this issue.
Operation Sync Threshold: Select Sync Threshold to adjust the threshold at which negative pulses on the component video green/luma channel are interpreted to be sync pulses. Sync Threshold adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source signal drops “below black” (for example, during scenes with explosions or when subtitles are present) and causes the display to temporarily lose sync.
Operation Front Panel Brightness: Select Front Panel Brightness from the Service menu to adjust the brightness of the front-panel LED status indicator. Logo LED Segment (Blue) Standby LED Segment (Yellow) Y • Logo LED: Select Logo LED from the Front Panel Brightness menu to adjust the brightness of the blue LED segment.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting 5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 5-1 provides some general guidelines for troubleshooting problems you may encounter with the V-50HD/V-63HD. If the suggested solutions fail to resolve the problem or if you encounter an issue not described here, please contact Runco Technical Support. The system does not turn on. Possible Cause(s) Solution EL IM IN A R Symptom Y Table 5-1.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Table 5-1. Troubleshooting Chart (continued) Symptom The display is jittery or unstable. Possible Cause(s) Solution • Poor-quality or improperly connected source. • Ensure that the source is properly connected and of adequate quality for detection. • Correct at the source. • The horizontal or vertical scan frequency of the input signal may be out of range for the display. Y • Contrast is set too high.
External Control 6. External Control In addition to using the DHD Controller remote control unit, there are three methods of controlling the V-50HD/V-63HD and DHD Controller externally: • Using a serial (RS-232) link to send ASCII commands and receive responses to those commands. • Using discrete infrared (IR) codes to program a third-party remote control unit. Y • Using an HDMI connection to send Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) commands from a BD player or other source component that supports CEC.
External Control Table 6-1 lists the RS-232 command set. The “Parameter (min/max)” column shows the valid parameter ranges, or “NA” for commands that take no parameters. When you enter a valid command, the DHD Controller executes it and acknowledges it with a plus sign on the command line (+ >). When you enter an invalid command – one that is misspelled or followed by values outside the valid range for that command – the DHD Controller ignores it and returns a minus sign (- >). Table 6-1.

External Control Table 6-1. Serial Commands (continued) Command Parameter (min/max) Value Stored? Description The following serial commands are meant to emulate buttons on the remote control. Each button has its own serial command, so effectively it is as if you were using the IR remote only you’ll be doing so via serial commands. These commands provide active OSD responses just like the IR remote.

External Control Table 6-2.
External Control 6.3 Using HDMI CEC Messages The DHD Controller accepts and can respond to CEC command messages from a disc player, satellite receiver or DVR/set-top box via an HDMI connection. Using CEC, the DHD Controller can perform the following actions: • Turn itself and the display device on and select the correct input when the source component initiates playback of a disc or recorded program. • Turn the source component on when you switch to its corresponding input on the DHD Controller.
