Appendix 6 

Frequently-Asked Questions 

This  section  describes  problems  that  you  may  encounter  while using  HS-2850.  If  you have 
any questions, please refer to related sections and follow all suggested solutions. If problem 
still exists, please contact your distributor or the service center. 

No.  Problems 

Solutions 

1. 

Corrupted images  are  seen  in  small 
windows  of  the  HS-2850 Multiview 
display.

 

In the HS-2850, each input source must be 
associated  with  only  one  button.  If  you 
associate one 

source 

to more 

than 

one button,  you  will  then  see  corrupted 
images  in  small  windows  of  the  HS-
2850 Multiview  display.  To  avoid  this 
please  make  sure  your  XPT  setting  is 
configured to the one input to one button 
configuration.  

 

2. 

I have enabled the TIMER feature on 
the  selected  PGM  channel  but  the 
countdown  timer  isn’t  counting 
down.  

After  the  TIMER  button  is  enabled  on  the 
selected  PGM  channel,  the  countdown 
timer will start on the PGM display as soon 
as  the  user  switches  to  the  selected  PGM 
channel. 

3. 

Audio and video are not synced.  

In  this  case,  the  Video  XPT  feature  might 
have  been  activated  and  if  Audio  is  set  to 
FIX, the Audio XPT must also be enabled to 
avoid out-of-sync audio and video.  

4. 

I  am  seeing  jitters  in  MV  audio  level 
indicator.  

Check the audio input as this could be due 
an absence of the audio input.  

5. 

I hear noise on input channels 5 to 8 
after I have changed the resolution.  

This  can  occur  as  a  result  of  frame  rate 
change  (for  example  1080i50 

  1080i59). 

To  correct  this  issue,  please  factory  reset 
your machine. 

6. 

Brightness of keys is too bright or too 
dark. 

Please  press  the  Enter  key  on  the  MENU 
area  of  the  keyboard.  After  that,  the  OSD 
menu  will  show  on  the  screen.  Please 
select  the  Brightness  option  in  the  OSD 
menu.  The  key  brightness  can  be  defined 
by the user from level 1 to level 4. 1 equals 
to  high  brightness/4  equals  to  high 
brightness. For details, please refer to Keys 
Brightness in the chapter 2.2.7 OSD MENU 
Options.
